How Tablet Counting Machine Adopts To The Pharmaceutical Packaging Needs?

With the rapid development of technology and the advent of large-scale GMP certification, people put forward higher requirements for the equipment manufacturing industry, especially the pharmaceutical companies who have higher expectation to the packaging equipment.

In terms of the pharmaceutical capsule tablet counting line, with the number of granules machine independent innovation continues to improve, molded block design to further achieve, the number of granules machine as a high-end pharmaceutical packaging equipment, which has undergone different periods of development, has gradually become the focus of the pharmaceutical packaging equipment industry .

At the same time also highlights the new points and advantages of GMP era pharmaceutical bottle counting packaging line:

A.Drug safety

In a broad sense, drugs in the packaging process, after the distribution, storage and transportation, shelves to the user's shelf life to meet the following requirements: to ensure that the dose, chemical composition and biological activity, such as unchanged, to prevent misuse and packet transfer, while the process can be traced and can be described.

These requirements will lead to new technical points in the pharmaceutical bottle packaging line that include:

Safety measures for pharmaceutical packaging

These include: the scientific design of the plastic bottle packaging form, the safe and effective design of the pharmaceutical packaging material, and the design to ensure the safety of the production process.

Pharmaceutical tablet counting line key points of quality testing items

(1) Automatic bottle handling machine process, example bottle testing.

(2) Granule counting machine process, missing granule detection or automatic weighing detection in the back section.

(3) Corking machine process, e.g. leak-proof detection for corked paper/cotton.

(4) Capping machine processes, e.g. no cap, reverse cap and slanted cap detection.

(5) Aluminium foil sealing machine processes.

(6) labelling machine processes, which are leak detection for missing labels and coding.

(7) Cartoning machine process, leaky instructions, leaky bottles and leaky batch number detection.

(8) These online testing measures can make the safety of pharmaceutical packaging greatly improved. At present, the tablet counting line can effectively provide accurate detection functions for pharmaceutical packaging/bottles, which can quickly detect the presence of missing metal in packaging and whether the weight specification is qualified, greatly enhancing production safety and reliability.

B.Tablet counting line efficiency

High efficiency is also an important indicator to assess the real efficiency of the use of equipment. From the current market analysis of the actual situation, pharmaceutical companies to purchase high-speed type equipment, especially 80 to 100 bottles / min range of pharmaceutical machines.

The current level of domestic equipment manufacturing as a whole, in this speed range, the domestic choice of equipment is more, and technology is also more mature, complete sets of strong, cost-effective is also relatively high.

For example, Aipak Pharma multi-track type high-precision high-speed photoelectric capsule tablet counting machine, suitable for capsules, tablets and other drugs, counting speed up to 4,000 particles / min, bottling speed up to 10-60 bottles / min, efficient and effortless.

Convenience and speed of changing specifications

It is an important aspect to test the efficiency of the pharmaceutical bottle counting and granulation packaging line.

For example, all tablet counting machines from Aipak Pharma, only need to be adjusted to change the specifications, areeasy to operate, which not only reduces the maintenance workload, but also saves labour costs for pharmaceutical companies, for 50ml~300ml specification bottles.

Easy to clean

Pharmaceutical capsule tablet counting lines should be easy to clean and disinfect, as well as easy to remove leftovers from previous batches.

Good stability, reliability and combinability

When designing the pharmaceutical capsule tablet counting line, the tightness of the mechanical structure should be taken into account as far as possible, the fastening form of the parts should be reasonable and reliable, not easy to loosen, and the transmission part should have safety protection measures.

Humanized operation

The humanized operation of the pharmaceutical bottle packaging line makes the operator feel convenient, comfortable and not easy to produce fatigue.

C.The prospect of the capsule tablet counting line

(1) The principle of space saving to ensure that the equipment takes up less clean area in order to reduce operating costs.

(2) The principle of energy saving, consider the low energy consumption of equipment and low consumption of pharmaceutical packaging materials.

(3) The principle of labour reduction, considering the degree of automation of the equipment to reduce labour.

(4) The principle of operation, monitoring and control, recording of processes and summing up afterwards.

(5) Enhanced authorisation of PLC data input, with emphasis on electronic recording/signature work and on the development of remote control and adjustment.

Then how to select the best automatic capsule tablet counting machine?

Actually, in terms of reliability, the links that affect the reliability of the tablet counting machines are generally related to photoelectric sensors, bin dividing mechanisms, blanking ports, and bottle conveying mechanism components.

The automatic capsule tablet counting machine shall adopt the sensing technology of high dust resistance, so that the counting work can be continuous and reliable even under the condition of long-time high-speed work.

Secondly, the design and manufacture of each mechanism should be scientific, reasonable and reliable.

At the same time, there must be comprehensive and real-time monitoring of the working state of each mechanism. Once any abnormality is found, it is necessary to alarm in time and perform corresponding actions.

Thirdly,in terms of applicability, due to the variety of drug particle types, it is necessary to choose a fully compatible capsule tablet counting machine as far as possible, and flexibly adjust the drug packaging that can adapt to different specifications, so as to reduce the number of purchased equipment and save costs and plant space for you.

Fourthly,in terms of safety, in addition to protecting the quality and packaging of drugs, your selected tablet counting machine also needs to select corresponding safety materials to ensure that there is no damage to drugs in the counting process, and the equipment is required to have a reasonable management, drug delivery mechanism and warehousing mechanism.

Fifthly,in terms of operability, the tablet counting machine should be easy to adjust, operate and clean. Reduce the difficulty of operation, cleaning, adjustment and other links for operators, and ensure the safe operation of production.

Last but not the latest, when running a device, only by understanding its working principle can the operator better control the device.

According to the introduction of the industry, the working principle of the full-automatic electronic tablet counting machine is very simple. When the counting machine is used in a single machine, the products requiring the counting machine are manually poured into the feeding device on the top.

The machinery sends the products to the rotating disc through vibration, and then the rotating disc sends the products to different tracks. After passing through the tracks, the products are counted through the electric eye. After counting the particles accurately, they fall down the chute into the funnel, and then fall into the bottle to complete the work of bottle counting.

In this process, the full-automatic electronic tablet counting machine monitors whether the counting is accurate by the electric eye. For some redundant particles or particles stuck together, the elimination function of the full-automatic electronic tablet counting machine will automatically eliminate these unqualified products.
