Problems solved by technology

[0013] The disadvantage of this polishing system is the poor quality of brushing and polishing of the capsules
In addition, the system is often not able to achieve a line vacuum (vide de ligne) after use, as some capsules occasionally get stuck in the bristles of the brush or in other parts of the polishing system
This often results in painful disassembly and cleaning of various parts of the polishing system to remove these capsules
This disassembly and cleaning is also an obvious source of wasted time

Abstract

The invention relates to a system (1) and a method for polishing capsules (2). The system (1) according to the invention comprises a brush (5) situated at least partially inside a wall (4) disposed around an axis (Z). The brush comprises bristles (6) disposed around the axis (Z) so as to form a helical conveying ramp for the capsules (2). The lengths of the bristles (6) of the brush (5) are substantially different and a protuberance (8, 8A, 8B) is mechanically coupled to the wall (4) so as to bend at least some of the bristles (6) of the brush (5) when the latter is rotating about the axis (Z). The method according to the invention consists substantially in putting the abovementioned system into practice.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to systems and methods for polishing capsules. Background technique [0002] Capsules are medications intended for oral administration and consist of a hard, hollow shell that contains an active substance. [0003] Such capsules are commonly produced in the pharmaceutical industry. During the production of the capsule, the two parts of the hard shell are joined together to capture the active substance to form the drug in its usual edible form. During this step, it is not uncommon for unwanted powder to remain stuck to the outer surface of the casing, for example by electrostatic interaction. [0004] Therefore, the process of producing capsules generally includes a step consisting in removing this powder adhering to the outer surface of the shell. This step is called "polishing the capsule". [0005] This particular step in the capsule production process is usually achieved by mechanically removing the aforementioned p...
