Small high-speed traditional Chinese medicine pill making machineMainly used for the production of granules of Chinese herbal powder. It can produce pellet shaped products for food processing, including dense pills, concentrated pills, and water tight pills. The machine adopts high-precision mechanical transmission. It can be continuously processed and formed automatically. Round, sheet, and strip products required for the production of traditional Chinese medicine, healthcare, and food industries.

Common problems and solutions:

1. Surface roughness: The surface of the prepared honey balls is rough for the following reasons:

① The medicinal material contains a lot of fibers;

② Excessive mineral or shellfish drugs in the medicinal material;

③ The medicine powder is too coarse;

④ The amount of honey added is small and the mixture is uneven;

⑤ Insufficient lubricant usage.

Generally, the solution is to grind the medicinal material finer, increase the amount of honey used, use older refined honey, and provide sufficient lubricant. Fiber rich and mineral rich medicinal flavors can also be extracted, concentrated into a thick paste, and mixed into honey.

2. Honey pills become hard: Honey pills become hard during storage for the following reasons:

① Insufficient honey usage;

② Honey temperature is relatively low;

③ Some drugs containing a high proportion of glue tend to freeze and solidify due to excessively high honey temperature when combined.

To address the above reasons, it is recommended to use sufficient honey and adjust the honey temperature appropriately, while also controlling the degree of honey refining appropriately.

3. Wrinkled skin: After a certain period of storage, honey pills show wrinkles on their surface, which is called wrinkled skin or peeling. Often due to the following reasons:

① Honey is tender and contains too much water. When the water evaporates, the honey balls shrink;

② The packaging is not tight, causing the honey pills to absorb moisture during hot and humid seasons, and evaporate during dry seasons, resulting in repeated swelling and shrinking of the honey pills;

③ Improper use of lubricants;

The solution is to refine the honey to a certain extent and control the moisture content appropriately; Strengthen packaging to make it tight, using wax shell packaging; The lubricant used is suitable and uniform.

4. Sand return: After a certain period of storage, sugar and other crystals precipitate in the honey pills, which is called "sand return". The reasons are as follows:

① Honey quality is poor, with low "oiliness" and low fructose content;

② Uneven consolidation;

③ Honey cannot be refined to a high degree.

The first solution to this phenomenon is to improve the quality of honey by selecting high-quality honey with higher oil content; The second is to strengthen the refining of honey and control the degree of honey refining.

5. Hollow: When the honey pill is opened, there is a small gap in its center, and it is common for maltose like substances to precipitate, mainly due to insufficient kneading during pill making. The way to overcome this is to strengthen the combination of lumps and rolling pills.

6. Mold or insect infestation: Honey pills may experience mold, insect infestation, mite infestation, and other issues during storage. The reasons are as follows:

① Improper processing of medicinal ingredients, residual microorganisms or insect eggs, etc;

② Contamination of medicinal materials during operations such as crushing, sieving, agglomeration, pill making, and packaging;

③ The packaging is not tightly sealed and contaminated during storage. The solution should strictly comply with hygiene standards to prevent the introduction or re contamination of microorganisms and insect eggs.

The above lists the common problems that occur in the production and application of honey pills, but often several quality issues occur simultaneously. The solution is to conduct a comprehensive analysis and then take targeted measures.
