Pharmaceutical Materials Coarse Crusher

What is Pharmaceutical Materials Coarse Crusher?

Pharmaceutical Materials Coarse Crusher is a coarse crusher used for crushing traditional Chinese medicines. It uses high-speed rotating blades or hammers to impact and shear the materials, achieving efficient crushing. It can crush dry rhizomes, fruits, minerals and other medicinal materials with a particle size of ≤50mm into coarse particles or coarse powder, with an hourly output of up to 3,000kg. It is commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine decoction factories, pharmaceutical companies, health product processing and other fields to pre-treat medicinal materials for subsequent fine crushing or extraction.

What types of Pharmaceutical Materials Coarse Crusher are there?

Pharmaceutical Materials Coarse Crusher is divided into four categories according to the crushing principle and application scenario: mechanical, airflow, low temperature and aseptic crusher. Each category is designed for raw materials with different characteristics and has its own unique crushing principle and application advantages.

Airflow Pharmaceutical Materials Coarse Crusher	The high-speed airflow energy is used to cause strong impact friction between drug particles, and the double-screw feeding system ensures stable feeding of materials with poor fluidity	High value-added APIs, hormone drugs, and ultra-fine powder materials	Hormonal drugs such as dexamethasone; poorly soluble APIs that need to improve bioavailability	Can achieve ultra-fine grinding to meet the processing needs of special materials
Low-temperature Pharmaceutical Materials Coarse Crusher Crusher	Crushing in a deep cold environment with a minimum temperature of -70℃	Thermosensitive APIs, easily oxidizable materials, medicinal materials containing volatile ingredients, medicinal materials containing oily or sticky ingredients	Ganoderma lucidum spore powder, vitamins, antibiotic APIs, Chinese medicinal materials containing volatile oils	Prevent damage to heat-sensitive ingredients and maintain drug efficacy
Sterile Pharmaceutical Materials Coarse Crusher	Sterile design that fully complies with GMP requirements, can be cleaned and sterilized online, polished inner cavity without dead angles, and special structure ensures no temperature rise	Sterile APIs, injection-grade products, biological products	Sterile antibiotic APIs, freeze-dried powder injections, biological preparations	Meet the requirements of sterile production and avoid cross contamination

What are the advantages of Pharmaceutical Materials Coarse Crusher?

The Pharmaceutical Materials Coarse Crusher is made of stainless steel. Low-temperature crushing will not damage the materials. There is no pollution during the entire crushing process, and the crushing fineness can be adjusted according to needs.

Medical grade material: The material contact part of the equipment is made of 304 or 316L stainless steel, with special polishing treatment, acid and alkali resistance, strong oxide resistance, and fully meets the GMP clean requirements

Low temperature crushing: The unique structural design cooperates with external cold source refrigeration, and the temperature of the crushing chamber can be maintained at 10-20℃, which is particularly suitable for heat-sensitive APIs

Dust-free operation: The fully enclosed design is equipped with a dust removal system to achieve dust-free crushing in the clean workshop and protect the health of operators

Adjustable fineness: By replacing different mesh screens, the crushing fineness can be freely adjusted within the range of 10-500 mesh

What is the principle of Pharmaceutical Materials Coarse Crusher?

Pharmaceutical Materials Coarse Crusher mainly achieves crushing through two principles: mechanical and airflow. In terms of mechanical crushing, the toothed crusher relies on the relative movement between the fixed gear ring and the high-speed rotating gear disc to crush the medicinal raw materials under the action of impact, shear, collision and friction; the hammer crusher uses a high-speed rotating hammer to hit the raw materials on the fixed ring, and crushes them after multiple impacts and frictions. The principle of airflow crushing is that in the airflow crusher, compressed air or other gases are accelerated through the nozzle to form a high-speed airflow beam. After the medicinal raw materials enter, strong impact and friction occur between the particles and between the particles and the airflow, so that they are crushed into fine powder. This method is particularly suitable for obtaining ultra-fine powders.

What are the applications of Pharmaceutical Materials Coarse Crusher?

The Pharmaceutical Materials Coarse Crusher can be used in the processing of traditional Chinese medicine slices, pharmaceutical production, health product manufacturing, and the food industry. It can crush dried Chinese medicinal materials such as rhizomes, fruits, and minerals into ideal coarse particles or powders, facilitating subsequent fine grinding, extraction, or formulation processing. In traditional Chinese medicine slice factories, it is used for raw material pretreatment; in pharmaceutical companies, it helps improve extraction efficiency; in the health product industry, it is used to produce granules or capsule raw materials; and some food processing plants also use it to process medicinal and edible materials.
