The structural principle of the water chestnut sugar coating machine
Date: 2024-10-22Read: 40
The water chestnut sugar coating machine is a commonly used equipment for preparing drugs. Its main function is to form a uniform, transparent, and glossy outer layer on the surface of the preparation, thereby improving the taste of the preparation, masking the taste of the drug, reducing the humidity of the preparation, and enhancing the stability of the drug.
The water chestnut sugar coating machine is mainly composed of mandrels, water chestnut boards, medicine bags, air supply boards, heaters, spray devices, breathing tubes, exhaust ducts and other parts.
Among them, the spindle is the core component of the sugar coating machine, which rotates to evenly distribute the medication under the action of air flow and liquid medicine; The water chestnut board is a circular board with multiple small holes that covers the central axis. Its function is to help the medicine bag evenly absorb the sugar coating liquid, thereby forming a uniform sugar coating layer; The medicine bag is composed of a water chestnut board and a medicine bag, which contains the medicine to be coated. The air supply board is located below the water chestnut board, and the air flow is introduced into the sugar coating machine through the air supply port to dry the medicine and take away the taste; A heater is a device that heats the incoming air to maintain the temperature and humidity of the air inside the machine; The spray device is used to spray the sugar coating liquid for coating to the drug bag.
When using the water chestnut sugar coating machine, first fill the drug to be coated into a capsule, then add the sugar coating solution to the sugar coating machine and start the machine. With the rotation of the spindle and the air inlet of the air supply plate, the water chestnut plate pushes the medicine upward, and the medicine bag protrudes from the small hole of the water chestnut plate, is wrapped by the sugar coating liquid sprayed by the spray device, and then collapses downward. The morphological changes of the medicine bag are related to the design of the water chestnut board and medicine bag.
The main components of sugar coating solution are sucrose, starch, gel, etc. In the process of the sugar coating machine, the medicine in the medicine bag contacts with the sugar coating solution through the small holes on the water chestnut board, and then the sucrose, starch, gel and other components in the sugar solution will interact with the drug surface to form a layer of coating, so that the medicine can be protected and modified.
Due to the uniform and transparent outer layer formed by the water chestnut sugar coating machine, as well as the characteristics of high hardness, good texture, and resistance to breakage and deformation of the sugar coating, formulations coated with the water chestnut sugar coating machine have been greatly improved in terms of taste and stability.
