To ensure drug safety, the selection and maintenance of coating equipment cannot be ignored

In recent years, with the rapid development of the pharmaceutical industry, the coating equipment market has also ushered in good development opportunities. It is worth noting that while ushering in opportunities, fierce market competition also followed, and coating equipment companies began to face more challenges and new requirements. It is understood that in order to better ensure the stability of drugs, many coating equipment manufacturers have begun to improve and upgrade their equipment.

For example, companies with coating equipment have developed small coating machines according to user requirements. The coating machine occupies a small space, which can save space and cost for enterprises. According to reports, the working principle of the small coating machine is similar to that of the coating machine. Make complex trajectory movements. At present, small coating machines are widely used in pharmaceutical, chemical, food and other industries, for tablets, pills, sugar coating, rolling food and chemical products.

There are also coating equipment manufacturers who have specially designed and developed a new automatic coating machine for the coating process solutions of various tablets, pills and granules. According to reports, the new automatic coating machine can clean the interior at high speed in terms of the overall open design of the front, and achieve the effect of zero dead angle. At the same time, the open installation area and the pot body are convenient for replacement and maintenance, and it has a unique airbag sealing structure and a fully sealed cavity.

On the whole, there are various types of domestic coating equipment, and with the development and rapid progress of technology, more and more products with different functions are still emerging one after another. However, it should be noted that at the same time, pharmaceutical companies have also made difficulties when choosing equipment. In this regard, industry insiders suggest that when choosing coating equipment, pharmaceutical companies should optimize and consider the properties of the product, the size of the plain tablet, friability, hardness, and the characteristics of the drug itself, so as to choose the one that suits them. production equipment.

In addition, industry insiders also pointed out that the key to coating operation is to grasp the relationship between temperature, spray volume and rotational speed. Enterprises also need to pay attention to the daily maintenance and maintenance of coating machines. Take the daily maintenance of small coating machines as an example. , mainly includes the following four points: First, the lubricating oil in the reduction box, the lubricating grease in the inner cavity of the rolling bearing and the oil-proof sealing ring at the end of the worm shaft should be replaced regularly. Second, if the coating pan is not used for a long time, it should be cleaned and oiled on its surface. Third, the spray gun should be washed with clean water under pressure after each shift to prevent clogging. If there is a plugging phenomenon, the operator should refer to the manual to clean it up. Fourth, in order to ensure that the worm gear in the reduction box meets the lubrication conditions of the transmission, the temperature rise of the box during operation should not exceed 50 °C.

In general, with the increasing demand of pharmaceutical companies for pharmaceutical machinery and equipment, the requirements are getting higher and higher. As an indispensable equipment in the pharmaceutical process, coating equipment will continue to be enriched in terms of types. Technology will also continue to improve. In addition, more and more styles and high-quality coating equipment will continue to emerge. In this context, enterprises need to pay more attention to the selection and maintenance of coating equipment.
