Determining the properties of the powder is very important for quantitative filling. The flow characteristics of the powder and other factors that indirectly affect its flow characteristics can be determined by analyzing the physical properties of the powder. At the same time, the powder's flow characteristics also depend on particle size, particle size distribution, average particle diameter, fine particle size, particle surface, particle geometry, and viscous strength. The fluidity of the powder is used to accurately fill capsule filling equipment. The key role.
Hofliger developed a series of standard quantification systems for the powder quantification of its standard machines Omnid-ose and Modu-C.
Omnidose - Filler for very small powder filling
The Omnidose Powder Filler is a small-volume production facility ideal for filling powders of various characteristics and quantities. Omnidose is suitable for filling powders into containers with different shapes. It can be filled with two different modules: APM (advanced protection module) can be filled with moist products, and PPM (professional protection module) is suitable for filling. Isolator for toxic products.
Omnidose's technological advantages include: variable quantification using three quantitative systems, namely vacuum fillers for 1 to 30 mg viscous products, press-free vacuum dispensers for 10 to 750 mg products, for 50 to 750 With a pressurizer for milligrams of product, these scalable quantitative systems are very beneficial to production.
Modu-C - special capsule station for a wider filling range
The Modu-C low-speed model is designed as an economical special-purpose machine. It can be used for small-batch or mid-batch production as well as laboratory equipment. Modu-C can handle a variety of different products, of which the 10-point rotary capsule station is the core of the Modu-C. The specific equipment operation process is as follows: the empty capsule shell is placed and separated at the first station and the second station, and then the capsule body and the lid are inspected by an optical sensor. The dosing station is configured into four different positions and filled with tablets and pellets. , liquids, and powders, after quantitative filling, the capsules are sealed and removed.
Modu-C has a filling range of 1 to 1000 milligrams, a filling tolerance of no more than 1% RSD, and a production capacity of 150 to 400 capsules/minute, the speed of which depends on the charging conditions of the machine and the quality and production conditions of the product.
Modu-C has high technical advantages and can provide perfect solutions for various special applications: The four different powder quantification operating systems are prerequisites for Modu-C's high-efficiency powder quantification, and the quantitative system can be replaced in minutes. It can be completed; the design conforms to the GMP standard, which is convenient for cleaning and product operation; it can adjust the packing line at any time through a lifting trolley integrated into the frame of the machine; with optional total weight or self-weight scale. The advantage of this total weight for hard gelatin capsule filling or self-weighing is that the capsule is removed from the rotary station and sent to the scale. After the self-weight is weighed, the capsule is put back into the rotary station. Fill and total weight.
It is particularly worth mentioning that the introduction of the trolley system into the machine makes it possible to quickly and easily adjust the quantitative system. Since the trolley can be moved, it can be placed on the machine by a pneumatic lifting system. The synchronization of the quantitative station can be completed by the machine control system. In addition, the lifting system is very easy to clean and can perform short-term position changes, which enhances the flexibility of the machine.
Modu-C's future technological expansion has been rigorously planned. Medium-speed equipment will reach 85,000 capsules/hour, while high-speed equipment will produce up to 200,000 capsules per hour, and it will also be equipped with an integrated scrubber. And storage room service center.
