Before we understand the role of the Tablet Capsule Counting Machine in the pharmaceutical industry, It is not difficult to find that with the continuous development of today's pharmaceutical industry, the market has become more stringent on pharmaceutical production standards, and the demand for standardized mass production has also led to artificial efficiency that has completely failed to meet the needs of today's pharmaceutical production. Pharmaceutical production not only requires higher efficiency, but also emphasizes the precision and consistency of product quality, which are difficult to sustain by human power. Especially in the counting and packaging of tablets and capsules, manual operation not only consumes time and effort, but also easily leads to counting errors, product contamination or damage, which not only directly affect the quality of the drug, but also make consumers lose trust in the brand enterprise, resulting in reputational damage and economic losses.     Therefore, in the large-scale standardized production of pharmaceutical products, ensuring the accuracy of product quality and the number of tablets per bottle requires the use of high-precision tablet and capsule counting machines. Let me take you through the key role that electronic counting machines play in the pharmaceutical industry.   1. Improve production efficiency In traditional manual counting methods, workers need to manually count the quantity of each bottle of medicine, which is not only time-consuming, but also prone to error. The emergence of electronic counting machine completely solves the problem of manual operation, greatly improving the accuracy of drug quantity bottling and the efficiency of mass production.   First, let's look at the incredible speed of this device. A highly efficient tablet and capsule Counting Machine (e.g. RQ-16H Automated Counting Machine) can accurately count up to 7,000 tablets per minute and bottle about 70 tablets. This means you can do in just one day what would previously have taken 5-10 workers a week to complete. Imagine if you installed multiple such devices on your production line, your capacity would increase exponentially.   Secondly, the tablet capsule counting machine has a high degree of automation and can work 24 hours a day. You no longer need to worry about manual fatigue, nor do you need to increase overtime hours in order to increase production. The electronic counting machine only needs to set the parameters, and can run stably for a long time to complete the established production work.   In addition, modern tablet and capsule counting machines are often equipped with intelligent control systems that can automatically adjust the counting parameters according to the characteristics of different products. This means that you can easily switch between different batches or different kinds of medicines without spending a lot of time debugging equipment.   By improving prod...

Basic principles and classification of tablet press 1. What is a tablet press A tablet press is a mechanical device specially designed to compress dry granular or powdered materials into tablets by pressure. It is widely used in many industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, chemicals, and cosmetics, and is mainly used to produce tablets, sugar tablets, calcium tablets, chewing gum tablets, seasoning tablets, catalyst tablets and other products.     2. Working principle of tablet press The basic working principle of tablet press is to compress the material in the mold through one or several pairs of punches (upper and lower punches), and then form tablets of the same size and shape.     3. Working process of tablet press The material is first fed into the mold through the feeder, and then the upper and lower punches move vertically relative to each other, thereby applying pressure to the material for extrusion. The shape and size of the compressed material are based on different customization of the mold. After compression, the tablet is ejected from the mold to form a discharge. The subsequent process generally needs to be connected to a tablet screen for dust removal and polishing, and a metal detector to reject tablets that exceed the standard, which is convenient for subsequent tablet packaging, such as connecting a tablet counting machine for tablet counting and bottling, and connecting to a blister packaging machine for blister packaging.   4. Main types of tablet press Single punch tablet press: Usually used in laboratories or small batch production, it uses a cam or eccentric wheel connecting rod mechanism to make the upper and lower punches produce relative movement to press tablets.   Multi-punch rotary tablet press: This type of tablet press drives multiple molds to perform vertical reciprocating motion through a rotating turntable to achieve a continuous tableting process, which is suitable for medium to large batch production.     High-speed tablet press: High-speed rotary tablet press: Similar to the rotary tablet press, but the turntable has a higher rotation speed, which can achieve very high production efficiency and is suitable for large-scale industrial production.     Special-purpose tablet press: Such as double-layer tablet press, special-shaped tablet press, etc., are used to produce tablets with special shapes or structures.     Industry application of tablet press Tablet presses manufacture a wide variety of products in different industries. Here are some specific examples:   Pharmaceutical industry This is the most widely used field for tablet presses, mainly for the manufacture of pharmaceutical tablets, including ordinary tablets, controlled-release tablets, effervescent tablets, etc.     Typical products Ordinary tablets: This is the most common form of tablets, covering a wide range of categories from antipyretic analgesics (such as aspirin, ib...

Blister packaging is a modern common and widely used packaging method, especially suitable for small goods, such as drugs/health products, disposable medical equipment, solid food and liquid food, cosmetics, biochemical and daily chemical products, stationery, small hardware accessories, toys, auto parts, agricultural seeds, electronic products and other products. The basic principle of blister packaging technology is to encapsulate the product in a pre-formed transparent plastic blister, and then seal the blister and a backplane (bottom plate) together. Below I will give you a detailed introduction to the blister packaging.     The Composition Of Blister Packaging 1. Blister cap: It is generally made of plastic material (PVC) or metal material (aluminum foil) by heating blow molding or mold pressing, so that it forms one or more raised cavities to accommodate the product. The blister can also be customized according to the shape of the product mold to form a special shape of the cavity to meet different needs. The following is the introduction of common materials for blister molding. 1.1 Plastic material of bubble cap: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) : high transparency, easy to form, cheap. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) : good barrier, strong chemical resistance. Polypropylene (PP) : Good heat resistance, suitable for high temperature sterilization. 1.2 Metal material of bubble cap: Aluminum foil: the most commonly used backplane material, excellent barrier, easy to open after sealing. Aluminum-plastic composite material: combining the advantages of plastic box aluminum foil. 2. Back Plate: The backplane of drug blister packaging is commonly used as aluminum foil material, and can also be used according to the needs of different products, such as plastic, cardboard, dialysis paper or other composite materials, as the support and closed surface of the blister can also print display information, such as brand name and logo, promotional activity information, product information, instructions for use, warning information, etc. 3. Sealing Layer: The connecting part between the blister cap and the back plate is tightly combined by using heat sealing, cold sealing or bonding to ensure the tightness and integrity of the package. In the selection of blister packaging, the choice of material should consider a number of factors, such as product characteristics, size and...

RichPacking is a leading pharmaceutical and packaging machinery manufacturer in China. With our more than 30 years of rich experience, we will give a comprehensive and in-depth introduction to tablet presses in this article, hoping to help you with your comprehensive understanding.   Definition of Tablet Press A tablet press machine is a mechanical device that can press powders, granules, pellets or mixtures of these into shapes of the same size. The shapes that can be pressed include round, diamond, ring or other irregular shapes; double-layer two-color tablets, three-layer three-color tablets and other multi-layer tablets can also be made, and each layer can be evenly distributed. The final shape of the tablet is achieved by customizing different molds. Many users also need to present their company's LOGO or imprint on the tablet, which can also be achieved through customized molds.     History of Tablet Press The earliest history of tablet presses began in the early 19th century, but the earliest tablets were made purely by hand, that is, they were squeezed by hand using simple tools. This method is very laborious, the output is very low, and the shape and weight of the tablets cannot be maintained at a stable level.     In 1854, an American named Ezra Perry invented a manual tablet press and applied for a patent. The general working process is to add powder manually, press manually, and then manually produce tablets. Although the whole process needs to be done manually, it has already opened the precedent of mechanical structure tablet presses.   In the 20th century, after the two world wars, with the advancement of science and technology and the development of the pharmaceutical industry, pharmaceutical tablet presses also developed.

Medicine and their wide range of packaging forms have always been the focus of the pharmaceutical industry. Among many types of pill packaging, blister packaging undoubtedly occupies an important position, and the key equipment to achieve this packaging, the blister packaging machine, plays a pivotal role in the pharmaceutical and packaging industries.   Definition of blister packaging Blister packaging, also known as blow molding packaging, is a form of packaging that uses a specific device to package products with a blister cavity made of plastic material. This form of packaging not only protects the product from damage, but also prevents the product from being contaminated.     Working principle of blister packaging machine As a commonly used packaging equipment, its working principle is relatively complex but the process is clear and concise. Here are some descriptions of the basic working principle of the blister packing machine.     1. Blister Forming: First, the packaging material is fed into the blister packaging machine, and through the heating system, we heat the plastic film to a sufficient temperature to soften the plastic film. Then, a specific mold is used to blow the heated plastic film to form a blister shell with a certain depth and shape. For particularly high depth requirements, a physical deepening device can also be added.   2. Filling the product: After the blister shell is made, the product is automatically filled into each air blister by an automatic feeding and conveying system or manual feeding. If an automatic system is used, a precise positioning system is required during the feeding process to ensure that the product is accurately filled into each blister.   3. Heat-sealed packaging: After the product is filled, the machine will place another layer of plastic film or paper material on top and heat-seal it through a heat-sealing system to protect the product between the two layers of material. It should be noted that the temperature and time of heat sealing have a great impact on the quality of the packaging. The general PVC temperature is set to 160 degrees Celsius because too high a temperature or too long a time may damage the packaging material, while too low or too short a time may cause the heat seal to be unstable.   4. Cutting shape: Finally, each packaged product is cut out by the punching station to form an independent blister packaging product. This step also requires a precise positioning system to ensure the accuracy and neatness of the cutting. If there is a misalignment, the originally packaged material will be cut directly, and the entire outer packaging and product will be scrapped.   The operation process of the blister packaging machine needs to comprehensively consider multiple factors such as material properties, mold design, mechanical equipment and automatic control. Its working effect directly affects the quality, appearance and production efficiency ...
