珐玛珈PL-12 Automatic Drug Bottled Line

July 1, 2004, GMP certification of domestic pharmaceutical companies As of the GMP certification, the domestic pharmaceutical companies' requirements for equipment procurement have changed significantly. Because before this, the pharmaceutical companies are mainly concerned with purchasing equipment to replace manual labor to meet GMP requirements. After GMP certification, equipment procurement focuses more on the speed, accuracy, and stability of equipment and production line operations. Can it be adapted? Whether the packaging of multi-standard products is fast or not, whether it can adapt to the requirements of flexible production, and whether it has on-line monitoring and testing functions to ensure the qualified rate of the output products.

The PL-12 drug number bottle bottling line independently designed and developed by Karma Co., Ltd. can automatically complete the empty medicine bottle sorting of various shapes and specifications, as well as the automatic counting, dispensing and bottling of drug particles of different shapes, and can prevent the circulation process. In the collision, the drug particles are broken. It can also complete the automatic loading of cotton and filling paper, the loading of solid and bag type desiccants, the automatic capping and aluminum foil sealing, the auto-adhesion of labels, the automatic loading of medicines and manuals, and the requirements of online Testing. The entire line operation requires only 2 to 3 people. The easy-to-disassemble structure design ensures that the skilled worker can complete the variety replacement within 15 minutes.

High-speed, accurate grain technology

The PP-12 photoelectric bottle counting machine adopts advanced infrared technology. The speed of particle counting can reach 12,000 particles/minute, and the particle range can reach 3 to 23mm, covering various capsules, tablets and pills. The patent-designed counting and dividing bottle structure ensures the counting accuracy under high-speed bottling conditions. When the bottling speed is 120 bottles/minute (100 capsules/bottle), the number of tablets is close to the international leading level.

Since Western medicines generally do not exceed 100 capsules/bottle, imported equipment can maintain a rated production rate within such a bottling capacity, and for over 200 capsules/bottle of Chinese medicine granules, the speed of imported production lines will decrease significantly. . Maxima Optoelectronics is superior to international leading equipment in terms of the number of photoelectric grain counters. When the bottle volume exceeds 200 grains, the production speed has no obvious drop.

Humanized operating system

PL-12 drug bottle line adopts PLC control and touch screen operation, which improves the accuracy of the entire line of automation control and humanization of the operation interface. In order to adapt to the trend of network and remote control of pharmaceutical packaging production lines, the company has developed a network control system for packaging production lines and has been used by customers. This system enables real-time communication between production line control systems and enterprise information management systems. Real-time and dynamic remote monitoring of the equipment's operating conditions, and initially achieved remote diagnosis and maintenance of equipment or production line operation failures.

Automatic online detection technology

In terms of on-line inspection technology, starting from the real-time automatic monitoring of multi-points in the whole line, the detection technologies that have been developed include: automatic detection and rejection of unqualified drug particles; unqualified drug loading, unqualified bottle caps, and aluminum foil cover Unqualified automatic detection and rejection; labeling, date batch number printing, weight, metal material, etc. automatic detection and rejection of rejects. The above inspection and rejection requirements have been implemented on the production line, which greatly improves the qualified rate of the output products on the production line. For example, the automatic bottling line designed for a well-known multinational company can detect and automatically reject the abnormal cover or label deviation of 1mm.

A variety of specifications to choose from

The PL-12 pharmaceutical bottling line has a standard production speed of 120 bottles/minute, in addition to PL-05, PL-06, PL-10, PL-08, 50, 60, 80, 100, 160 bottles/minute. PL-16 production line to choose from. According to the different packaging requirements of the production process, the line can also be equipped with plug machines, plug machines, dryer input machines, electromagnetic induction sealing machines, labeling machines, coding machines and cartoning machines as well as packing machines. Finished products from the production line can go directly to the warehouse storage and logistics distribution system.

R&D direction

The Karma Co., Ltd. will invest in technology development in both the speed accuracy of single-species production and the wide adaptability of the production line. In terms of high-speed, high-precision technology for a single product, the company is developing a production line with a production speed of more than 160 bottles/minute while ensuring the accuracy of counting. In order to meet the needs of customers packaging a variety of products, the company strives to improve the adaptability of the production line, providing users with the ability to package capsules, tablets, and pills of various sizes, as well as a variety of bottle and cap type production lines. Digitization and standardized design are also used to shorten the time for changing the product. In addition, the company has adopted the latest information technology to develop a network control system based on a distributed field bus, real-time monitoring and remote control of the entire line, and the need for company and plant-level management information systems to acquire and control data at the production site.

In the future, based on the automation of drug bottling, more and more pharmaceutical companies will require the automation of the drug's back-end packaging, that is, the automated cartoning and the use of vials and instructions after bottling is completed. Automatic loading of middle boxes, middle boxes into large boxes, large boxes of automatic stacking and stacking until physical integration and information sharing with distribution and retail logistics systems, and the development of equipment that fulfills these functions will become future packaging equipment. The focus of industry technology and product development.
