Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical and health-care product production equipment, and specifically discloses a film-making device for orally dissolving films for pharmaceuticals and health-care products. Background Art

[0002] As a new drug delivery system, oral dissolving films for pharmaceuticals offer significant advantages in improving patient compliance and are particularly suitable for children, the elderly, and those with swallowing disorders. In recent years, oral dissolving films for traditional Chinese medicine have attracted considerable attention due to their minimal side effects and stable efficacy. However, their industrialization faces three technical bottlenecks:

[0003] 1. Equipment dependence on imports: High-end film-making equipment has long been monopolized by foreign countries, and domestic equipment has gaps in key indicators such as coating accuracy (especially high-viscosity Chinese herbal extracts) and drying uniformity;

[0004] 2. Challenges in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) quality control: The coexistence of multiple components in compound TCMs makes it impossible to monitor drug distribution uniformity online through traditional visual inspection, and there is a lack of effective control measures for the drying and degradation of active ingredients.

[0005] 3. Process-efficacy disconnect: Existing equipment is unable to establish a quantitative correlation between production process parameters (such as film thickness and drying temperature) and efficacy characteristics (such as dissolution rate), and relies on offline sampling, which restricts quality stability.

[0006] This industry has the following demand pain points:

[0007] There is an urgent need to develop domestic equipment for orally dissolving films with independent intellectual property rights, and to break through core technologies such as coating uniformity control and online monitoring of Chinese medicine components; there is an urgent need to build an intelligent quality control system to achieve industrial upgrading from "trial and error" to "data-driven"; it is necessary to comply with the trend of green manufacturing and develop environmentally friendly processes to reduce production energy consumption and waste emissions.

[0081] The thickness detection module 5 is located next to the outlet of the coating module 4 and monitors the wet film thickness online;

[0082] Constant temperature box module 6, receives the coated film and performs main drying;

[0083] The infrared lamp drying module 7 built into the constant temperature box module 6 pre-cures the wet film;

[0084] The process deviation correction module 8 is located at the exit of the constant temperature box module 6 and corrects the lateral deviation of the film;

[0085] The surface defect CCD detection module 9 is arranged downstream of the correction module 8 to image the dry film surface;

[0086] The medical film separation module 10 physically separates the PET substrate from the solidified medical film;

[0087] The tension swing arm module 11 is connected to the medical film output end of the separation module 10 to adjust the winding tension;

[0088] The medical film winding module 12 receives the finished medical film after tension adjustment;

[0089] The PET film winding module 13 independently receives the separated PET substrate;

[0090] Among them, the coating module 4, the thickness detection module 5, and the constant temperature box module 6 constitute a closed-loop control system, and the coating parameters are adjusted in real time according to the thickness feedback.

[0091] Preferably, the coating module 4 adopts a slit extrusion coating head equipped with a high-precision servo motor-driven scraper with a scraper gap adjustment accuracy of ≤1μm; a constant temperature flow channel is provided inside the coating head with a temperature control range of 30–80℃±0.5℃.

[0092] Preferably, the tension module 3 and the tension rocker module 11 are integrated with a multi-stage magnetic powder brake, combined with a laser displacement sensor to detect the film deformation in real time, and output a dynamic tension compensation signal through a PID algorithm to control the film tension fluctuation within ±0.5N.

[0093] The film-making method of the above-mentioned orally disintegrating film-making equipment for medicines and health products generally comprises the following steps:

[0094] S1. PET film is unwound and maintained at a constant tension by tension module 3;

[0095] S2. Coating module 4 evenly coats the pharmaceutical slurry on the PET film to a coating thickness of 10–200 μm;

[0096] S3. The thickness detection module 5 provides real-time feedback data to the coating module 4, and closes the loop to adjust the coating parameters;

[0097] S4. The wet film is pre-cured by the infrared lamp drying module 7 and then dried in the constant temperature box module 6. The drying temperature is adjustable in a gradient of 40–120°C.

[0098] S5. Surface defect CCD detection module 9 performs online visual inspection of the dry film;

[0099] S6. The medical film separation module 10 peels off the PET carrier, and the medical film is independently rolled up.

[0100] Preferably, the above film-making method specifically comprises the following steps:

[0101] First, thread the PET film onto the tape according to the tape routing diagram.

[0102] During operation, the PET film unwinding module 1 unwinds at a constant speed, the PET film roller module 2 provides support for the PET film, and the tension module 3 detects the tension of the PET film in real time;

[0103] The coating module 4 can realize the uniform coating of the medicine and health care product slurry onto the PET film. The coating thickness, width and uniformity can be set and adjusted in the coating module. A very thin layer of slurry is transported forward along with the PET film.

[0104] The thickness detection module 5 performs real-time thickness detection on the coated pharmaceutical or health product film. If the thickness exceeds the specification, it can automatically adjust or alarm.

[0105] The coated medical film adheres to the PET film and enters the constant temperature box module 6 along with the PET film. The constant temperature box realizes the function of heating and drying the medical film, so that the medical film in the glue state is quickly dried into a solid film.

[0106] The dried medical film is attached to the PET film and leaves the constant temperature box module 6. It is corrected by the process correction module 8 to ensure that the previous deviation can be corrected.

[0107] The PET film and medical film after the route correction enter the surface defect CCD detection module 9, which takes a photo of the surface of the medical film to detect whether there are defects such as bubbles and poor coating size on the surface;

[0108] After the CCD inspection, the film enters the pharmaceutical film separation module 10, which is used to separate the PET film and the pharmaceutical film to prepare for separate rolls.

[0109] After separation, the PET film can be directly connected to the PET film winding module 13 for winding, and the pharmaceutical film passes through the tension swing rod mechanism 11 to adjust the tension of the pharmaceutical film again, and is wound with very small tension, and finally enters the pharmaceutical film winding module 12.

[0157] Real-time control:

[0158] If 85≤Q<90: reduce the coating speed by 10% and increase the temperature of the thermostat by 5°C;

[0159] If Q < 70: the winding module is triggered to stop suddenly, an audible and visual alarm is sounded, and the defective interval is recorded (such as "roll number 2025-Batch3, position 15.2m-15.5m") for the slitting machine to remove.

[0160] Model validation: Q value evaluation was performed on 200 batches of samples (samples containing multiple active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine), and the correlation R with the manual quality inspection results was 2 =0.93.
