In the pharmaceutical industry, the Fully automatic pharmaceutical packaging machine production line is an important production part. The equipment structure consists of modules such as lifting and conveying system, metering device, bag making system, filling unit, sealing device, coding system and finished product output. The output can reach 20-80 bags/minute or even higher depending on the configuration. Its main function is to quickly and accurately quantitatively package different pharmaceutical materials to ensure that each bag of medicine meets the quality standards. The entire production line coordinates each link through the PLC intelligent control system to automatically complete the processes of material lifting, weighing, filling, sealing and coding.

The production line can handle a variety of dosage forms such as tablets, capsules, granules, powders, pills, etc., and supports 7 types of packaging materials such as polyethylene, aluminum foil composite film, PVC hard film, etc. The bag making accuracy error is controlled within ±1mm, and the sealing temperature deviation does not exceed ±1℃. It is widely used in the packaging of granules, granules, powders and other products of pharmaceutical companies.

Working principle of Fully automatic pharmaceutical packaging machine

The workflow of the Fully automatic pharmaceutical packaging machine production line usually starts with the lifting and conveying system. For granular materials, bucket elevators or Z-type elevators can be used, while for powder materials with poor fluidity, inclined screw conveyors are more suitable. After the materials are lifted to the storage hopper by the conveying system, they enter the high-precision metering system (such as multi-head electronic scales or screw metering devices) to complete quantitative weighing. Subsequently, the packaging host completes the bag forming and fills the medicine into the finished packaging bag through the material discharge port. The next step is the sealing process, which generally adopts heat sealing or pulse sealing to ensure that the seal is tight and pollution-free; finally, the printer prints the production date and batch number and delivers the finished product. The whole process does not require manual intervention, and is fully automated, dust-free, and in compliance with GMP standards.

Fully automatic pharmaceutical packaging machine production line applicable materials

Fully automatic pharmaceutical packaging machine production line is applicable to two major types of materials: granular and powder. The equipment has different packaging forms and processing issues when handling two different materials.

Granular drugs usually use a drop-type weighing and automatic filling system. The bag types are mostly back-sealed bags, three-side sealed bags or four-side sealed bags. Some models support customized packaging such as self-supporting bags and corner-inserted bags. This system is suitable for the packaging of irregular particles such as cold granules, vitamin tablet granules, and granules. In the modern packaging of traditional medicinal materials such as wolfberry and Panax notoginseng powder, the secondary compaction process of the inserting mechanism effectively solves the problem of filling volume differences caused by material sedimentation. The core of granular packaging is to solve the density problem of fluffy materials.

Powdered drugs use a spiral metering and filling system to avoid powder flying and ensure metering accuracy. In terms of bag types, pillow bags, sealed flat bags or three-side sealed bags with easy-tear edges are commonly used. Some models also support multi-layer materials such as aluminum foil bags and composite film bags to ensure the requirements of light-proof, moisture-proof and oxidation-proof drugs. This system is suitable for the packaging of different powder materials such as medicinal protein powder, medicinal powder, and Chinese medicine powder. The focus of powder packaging is dust prevention and sealing.

What are the application areas of Fully automatic pharmaceutical packaging machine production line?

Fully automatic pharmaceutical packaging machine is widely used in different industries such as pharmaceuticals, health products, traditional Chinese medicine, and chemical preparations.

Solid preparation production: The tablet packaging line integrates an automatic tablet packaging machine, which supports three-side sealing/four-side sealing packaging of solid medicines such as sugar-coated tablets, plain tablets, and capsules, and has excellent moisture-proof and light-proof performance.

Modern packaging of traditional Chinese medicine: For large honey pills such as Liuwei Dihuang Pills, a gravity slide cartoning machine with a pill counting sensor is used to replace the traditional wax shell packaging to solve the adhesion problem.

Clinical trial drugs: The modular cartoning machine can handle small batches of 5-500 boxes through rapid mold replacement, and supports personalized instruction folding and serial number coding.

Sterile product packaging: Some models integrate a weight detection module, which can automatically remove ampoules with missing or insufficient capacity to ensure the compliance of liquid preparation packaging.

With its modular structure design, highly automated control system and multiple packaging forms, the fully automatic pharmaceutical packaging machine production line has become an important equipment for pharmaceutical companies to achieve large-scale and standardized production. The equipment can well solve the density problem of granular materials and the dust and sealing problems of powder materials. Whether it is granular or powder materials, it can achieve fast, accurate and pollution-free automatic packaging, effectively improving the production efficiency and product competitiveness of enterprises. This production line is widely used in the pharmaceutical, chemical, food and other industries, and has become an indispensable and important module in modern production lines.
