How to choose a suitable semi-automatic traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece packaging machine?

1、 Core purchasing indicators

1. Material adaptability

• It is necessary to match the shape of the decoction pieces (granules/powders/flakes), and irregular decoction pieces with a diameter<1.5cm and a single granule<0.5g need to be equipped with a vibrating disc feeding system.

The packaging range is recommended to cover small dosage specifications of 3-50g, compatible with irregular materials such as rhizomes and seeds.

2. Key performance parameters

• Speed: For semi-automatic models, it is recommended to choose 25-70 packages per minute (matched with manual feeding efficiency).

Accuracy: The measurement error should be ≤ ± 1%, and the heat seal strength should pass the GB/T 4857 standard test.

Material: Contact parts must be made of 304 stainless steel, and the dust removal system must comply with GMP cleaning standards.

3. Function configuration

Basic functions: Touch screen parameter setting, automatic metering and sealing, dust removal cylinder.

Expansion requirements: Optional modules such as QR code printing (traceability) and visual inspection (quality control).

2、 Suggested purchasing process

1. Requirement diagnosis

• Clearly define the daily average production (<500 packages/day for selected workstation models).

Confirm the packaging form (three sided seal/self-supporting bag/irregular bag).

2. Supplier evaluation

Priority should be given to manufacturers with cases in the traditional Chinese medicine industry, such as Tianjin Binhai Licheng.

Request to provide a 20kg material testing service, with a focus on testing the passability of irregular shaped decoction pieces.

3. After sales guarantee

Confirm the warranty period for core components.

Check if the manufacturer provides operational training and annual maintenance agreements.
