Abstract

The invention relates to a production system for hollow alginate capsules for cigarettes. The production system comprises an emulsifying tank for preparing an emulsion, a forming device for preparing the emulsion into emulsion drops in a dropwise adding manner, and enabling the emulsion drops to contact a forming liquid, and to be condensed to form alginate capsule primary pills, a film forming device for soaking the alginate capsule primary pills in the forming liquid for first preset time, a first water washing device or washing the alginate capsule primary pills after being soaked for the first preset time, a curing device for enabling the washed alginate capsule primary pills to contact a fixing liquid for second preset time, a second water washing device for washing the cured alginate capsules, and a PLC (programmable logic controller) for setting the first preset time and the second preset time, controlling the alginate capsule primary pills to be soaked in the forming liquid for the first preset time, and controlling the alginate capsule primary pills to contact the curing liquid for the second preset time. The production system can be used for producing the alginate capsules with the radial dimension being 2.5mm-4.0mm.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of tobacco, in particular to a system for producing hollow alginate capsules for tobacco. Background technique

[0002] Most of the soft capsules sold in the market at the millimeter level are produced by pressing or dripping methods, such as vitamin E capsules, cod liver oil capsules, etc. The above-mentioned soft capsule products have the advantages of being easy to carry and take orally. However, most soft capsules use gelatin as the wrapping wall material, which has the following disadvantages: (1) Gelatin is easy to absorb moisture and become soft. Harsh, even after coating and moisture-proof treatment, it is still not resistant to high temperature and high humidity environment; (2) Gelatin is prone to plasticization and hardening; (3) Generally, the preparation of soft capsules requires more complicated equipment and molds. Capsules of 2.5mm-4mm cannot be produced on a large scale due to the difficulty in makin...
