In the field of pharmaceutical equipment, stainless steel has become an indispensable material for its excellent corrosion resistance, good mechanical properties and easy cleaning and maintenance. However, in the face of a wide range of claimed stainless steel product equipment on the market, how to accurately identify its type and quality, to ensure the safe and efficient operation of pharmaceutical equipment, has become a skill that every purchaser must master. This paper will deeply discuss the classification and characteristics of stainless steel, and introduce three practical identification methods in detail, and analyze its advantages and disadvantages and application fields in pharmaceutical equipment.   I.Overview of the classification and characteristics of stainless steel Stainless steel, as the name suggests, is a kind of alloy steel that is not easy to rust, mainly composed of iron, chromium, nickel and other elements. According to its different structure and chemical composition, stainless steel can be divided into austenitic stainless steel, ferritic stainless steel, martensitic stainless steel, duplex stainless steel and precipitation hardening stainless steel and other categories.     Austenitic stainless steel: mainly chromium-nickel alloy, with good corrosion resistance and processability, widely used in pharmaceutical equipment containers, pipelines and pump valves and other parts. Ferritic stainless steel: high chromium content, has good corrosion resistance and high temperature oxidation resistance, but the mechanical properties are relatively low, suitable for some occasions with low strength requirements. Martensitic stainless steel: high strength and hardness can be obtained through heat treatment, but corrosion resistance is relatively weak, often used in cutting tools, medical instruments and so on. Duplex stainless steel: a combination of austenitic and ferrite two-phase structure, with excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, especially suitable for high corrosive environment. Precipitation hardening stainless steel: by adding copper, aluminum and other elements, and after specific heat treatment, to obtain high strength and good corrosion resistance, suitable for high-end precision manufacturing.   II.Second, the identification of stainless steel 1. Magnetic test method Method description: The magnetic properties of stainless steel were used for identification. Austenitic stainless steel (such as 304, 316) is usually non-magnetic or weakly magnetic because it contains a high nickel element; Ferritic stainless steel and martensitic stainless steel have strong magnetic properties. The type of stainless steel can be initially determined by gently touching the material to be tested with a magnet and observing its adsorption. Example description: Hold a small magnet and touch different parts on the pharmaceutical equipment, such as liquid storage tanks (mostly austenitic stainless steel...

In the ever-evolving world of pharmaceutical manufacturing, efficiency and precision are paramount. As you delve into the realm of capsule production, you'll encounter various types of equipment designed to streamline the process. One such piece of machinery that has gained significant traction in recent years is the Semi Automatic Capsule Filling Machine. This innovative device offers a perfect balance between manual operation and automation, providing numerous advantages for pharmaceutical companies of all sizes.     I. Understanding Semi-Automatic Capsule Filling Machines To fully grasp the advantages of a semi-automatic capsule filling machine, it's crucial to delve into its fundamental operation and workflow. These machines are a bridge between manual and fully automated systems, offering a balance of efficiency, precision, and user control. Here's a detailed look at the key steps involved in the operation of a semi-automatic capsule filling machine: 1. Capsule Loading The process begins with loading empty capsule shells into the machine. These shells are usually made of gelatin or a vegetarian alternative like HPMC (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose). The capsules are loaded into a designated hopper or tray, which is typically designed to handle a large number of capsules at once. This step is essential for ensuring that the machine can operate continuously without frequent interruptions, thereby enhancing productivity. The hopper's design often allows for easy loading and minimizes the risk of capsule damage during the process.     2. Capsule Orientation Once the capsules are loaded, the machine's orientation system takes over. This step is critical because the capsules must be positioned uniformly for the subsequent operations. The orientation mechanism uses a series of mechanical movements or vacuum suction to ensure that all capsules are aligned correctly, with the body (the larger part of the capsule) facing downward and the cap (the smaller part) on top. Proper orientation is vital to ensure that the capsules can be separated accurately in the next step.     3. Capsule Separation After orientation, the machine separates the capsules into two halves: the body and the cap. This is achieved through a combination of suction and mechanical action. The machine gently pulls the cap away from the body, keeping both parts in separate positions while ensuring that they remain undamaged. The precision of this step is critical, as any misalignment or damage can result in capsules that cannot be properly filled or closed later in the process.     4. Powder Filling The most critical part of the process is the precise filling of the capsule body with the intended substance, which could be powder, granules, or pellets. The machine is equipped with a dosing system that ensures the exact amount of material is dispensed into each capsule. This system can be adjusted to accommodate different fill weights, depending on ...

Blister Packing Machine is an automated packaging machine widely used in pharmaceutical, food, electronics and consumer goods industries. Its main function is to encapsulate the product in a transparent blister made of plastic or aluminum foil to protect the product and provide a convenient form of packaging. It includes multiple process working locations, including material heating forming, multi-type feed filling (tablets/capsules/liquids/solids, etc.), heating sealing, indentation embossing, traction and blanking processes. Today, I mainly explain to you the operation and process of the flat type aluminum-plastic packaging machine. Introduction of each station of flat type aluminum-plastic packaging machine: 1.Forming material; 2. Heat; 3. Molding; 4. Material filling; 5. Scrap inspection; 6. Heating seal; 7. Indentation; 8. Back aluminum film; 9. Traction; 10. Blanking   The following is the detailed operation process of the Blister Packing Machine: Material preparation and loading: First, operators need to prepare packaging materials and products to be packaged. Packaging materials usually include plastic sheets (such as PVC, PET, or PVDC) and aluminum foil as a backplane. The plastic sheet is loaded into the machine's feed system, while the aluminum foil is installed on the corresponding unwinding device. The product to be packaged needs to be packed into a specially designed feeding system according to its shape and size.     2. Plastic sheet preheating: The heating station of the Blister Packing Machine will preheat the plastic sheet. This step is very important because it allows the plastic to reach the right temperature to soften it and make it more plastic for the subsequent molding process. The control of the preheating temperature needs to be precise because different types of plastic materials have different softening temperatures. The operator can adjust the temperature through the control panel to ensure optimal preheating. 3. Plastic sheet molding: the preheated plastic sheet will enter the molding station. Here, the machine uses pressure and compressed air technology to press the plastic sheets into the desired blister shape. The molding mold is customized according to the specific size and shape of the product, and a variety of different blister molding molds can be made according to the shape needs of different products. During the molding process, the easily softened plastic in the mold is blown by the compressed air system, ensuring that the plastic can fully fit the mold surface and form an accurate blister shape.     4. Product filling: The bubble cap will be moved to the material filling station after forming. In this stage, the Blister Packing Machine will accurately place the product into each blister cap through a precision robot or vibrating disk feeding system (some special materials can also be manually placed). To ensure the quality and efficiency of packaging, machines are often equipped w...

The rotary tablet press is an important mechanical equipment for solid dosage pharmaceuticals, which is used to press powder raw materials into tablets of uniform size. In order to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and extend the service life and stability of the tablets produced, the correct and regular maintenance process is essential. The following will describe the detailed maintenance guide for the important parts of the tablet press machine, aiming to help operators understand how to perform effective daily maintenance of the tablet press.     1. Maintenance of the turntable   Cleaning the residual powder on the turntable of the tablet compression machine is an important daily maintenance work, which helps to ensure the normal operation of the equipment, prevent cross contamination, and ensure the quality of the tablets.   Here are the specific steps to clean the residual powder on the turntable: Remove the mold: Make sure the equipment has stopped running and cut off the power to ensure safety. According to the instructions of the tablet press machine operation manual, correctly disassemble the upper and lower punches and the middle mold of the tablet press to facilitate cleaning of the turntable.   Take out the tool box that comes with the machine and take out the cleaning tools inside, which include a soft brush, a non-metallic scraper, a compressed air spray gun, a sieve ruler, and bring your own clean rags, white oil, disinfectant and a suitable cleaning solvent (usually ethanol).     Use a soft brush to brush away the powder residue on the surface of the turntable of tablet press machine and in the grooves of the middle mold, and use a compressed air spray gun to remove the powder residue in the grooves and corners of the turntable. Then wipe the turntable surface with 95% alcohol to remove more stubborn residues. Wipe the turntable with a disinfectant (such as 75% ethanol) to ensure thorough disinfection.   If the time interval between the production of the next batch exceeds 6 hours, the standard operation is to perform anti-rust treatment. Because most turntables are made of stainless steel or cast iron, it is recommended to spray an anti-rust agent on the surface of the turntable and ensure that the surface of the turntable has been thoroughly cleaned before anti-rust work.   After the cleaning work is completed, wipe the turntable dry with a clean rag and dry it naturally in a well-ventilated place. After the turntable is completely dry, carefully check the turntable for any cracks, damage or signs of wear.   There are several things to note during the entire turntable maintenance process: Avoid using metal tools, because after scratching the turntable surface, excessive metal materials will be produced during the subsequent operation of the tablet press, contaminating the tablets. Corrosive solvents cannot be used for cleaning, which is also to protect the flatnes...
