Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of soft capsule production, in particular to a mixing tank used for soft capsule production. Background Art

[0002] Soft capsules, also known as soft capsules, are a type of capsule packaging, commonly found in medicines or health foods. They are made by sealing liquid drugs or liquid-solid drugs in soft capsule materials. Soft capsule materials are made of gelatin, glycerin or other suitable pharmaceutical excipients alone or in combination. Soft capsules have strong plasticity and high elasticity. This is determined by the properties of the soft capsule material composition, which depends on the ratio of gelatin, plasticizer and water.

[0003] At present, in the production process of soft capsules, the raw materials of soft capsules need to be mixed through a batching tank, but the existing batching tanks used for soft capsule production usually adopt stirring and mixing, and do not have the ability to eliminate foam. However, the presence of a large number of bubbles will affect the quality and stability of the soft capsules, and may even cause the drug to fail. In addition, during the stirring process, the raw materials at the bottom of the batching tank body and the raw materials at the top of the batching tank body cannot be fully mixed. At the same time, the mixed soft capsule raw materials will adhere to the inner wall of the batching tank. If the soft capsule raw materials attached to the inner wall of the batching tank are not cleaned, it is easy to affect the subsequent production mixing. For this reason, we propose a batching tank for soft capsule production. Utility Model Content
