Process of Volume-Based Pharmaceutical Product Packing Machines
Pharmaceutical product packing machines utilizing volume-based filling mechanisms are designed to ensure precise and efficient packaging. Here’s a breakdown of the process:
-
Product Feeding:
- Granules, Powders, and Liquids: The product is fed into the respective hoppers or reservoirs. Each unit (granule, powder, liquid) has its own dedicated hopper.
-
Pouch or Cup Handling:
- Pouch Packing: Premade pouches are fed into the machine, opened, and positioned for filling.
- Cup Filling: If using cups, they are arranged in the machine to receive the product.
-
Filling Units:
- Granules Packing (Volume-Based):
- A volumetric system measures and dispenses a specific volume of granules (e.g., tablets, capsules). This may involve fixed volume cups or rotary valves
- Liquid Packing (Piston-Based):
- A piston filling mechanism draws a specific volume of liquid (e.g., syrups, solutions) into the filling chamber and dispenses it accurately into the pouch or cup.
- Powder Filling (Auger-Based with Servo Control):
- The auger screw transports powder (e.g., powdered medicines) into the filling area. The servo motor controls the rotation speed and duration, ensuring precise fill weights.
-
Sealing:
- After filling, the pouches are sealed using heat sealing or other sealing methods to ensure integrity and prevent contamination. For cups, lids may be applied.
-
Ejection:
- The filled and sealed pouches or cups are ejected from the machine for further processing or distribution.
