Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wet granulation and drying integrated machines, in particular to a wet granulation and drying integrated machine. Background Art

[0002] "Granulation" is an important process before drug molding. For example, for tablets and capsules, the materials must be made into granules before tablet compression and capsule filling to ensure that the tablet weight and filling volume differences meet the standards. Dried granules are also a "granular dosage form" that can be directly taken orally, such as "Ganmao Qingre Granules" and so on.

[0003] At present, there are two methods to make granules of Chinese medicine formula granules:

[0004] 1. The Chinese medicine extract fluid extract + auxiliary materials are spray dried in a spray drying tower, and the powder obtained by spray drying is then made into granules by a dry granulator;

[0005] 2. The Chinese medicine extract is dried and crushed by vacuum drying equipment, added with auxiliary materials, and then made into granules by dry granulation machine;

[0006] Usually it requires 1 spray drying tower, 1 air purification unit, 1 fin steam heater, 1 electric heater, 1 cyclone separator, 1 water foam dust collector, 1 insulation batching tank, and 1 pump. The heating temperature exceeds 300°C. There are some disadvantages, such as the equipment takes up too much space, there are many processes, the drying temperature is high, and the heat-sensitive components are destroyed. Utility Model Content

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned technology and provide a wet granulation and drying integrated machine.

[0008] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution provided by the utility model is a wet granulation and drying integrated machine: comprising a granulation and drying bin, the granulation and drying bin comprising a silo, a mobile bin, and a dust-fighting chamber connected from bottom to top by cylinder buckling and an inflatable sealing strip, forming a closed granulation and drying space, a rotatable paddle is provided near the bottom of the bin in the silo, a sintered mesh is provided at the lower part of the rotatable paddle, there is a gap between the sintered mesh and the rotatable paddle, the lower part of the sintered mesh is an air chamber, the rotating shaft of the rotatable paddle passes through the air chamber and is transmission-connected to a reducer, the speed of the rotatable paddle is adjustable, the air chamber is connected to a purification air supply system on one side, the reducer is transmission-connected to a motor, a discharge pipe is provided on one side of the outside of the silo, and the discharge pipe is located at the upper edge of the rotatable paddle;

[0009] The mobile bin is located at the upper part of the silo, and is provided with an atomizing spray gun entering the interior of the mobile bin, and the atomizing spray gun is externally connected to a peristaltic pump.

[0010] As an improvement, the purified air supply system includes a booster fan, a primary filter, a heater, hot and cold air valves, a high-efficiency filter and an air supply pipe. The air supply pipe enters the air chamber tangentially and is provided with an air volume regulating valve.

[0011] As an improvement, a plurality of dust-fighting titanium rods are provided in the dust-fighting chamber, a high-pressure gas pulse back-blowing device is provided at the outlet of the dust-fighting titanium rods, and the dust-fighting chamber is provided with an air outlet pipe leading to the outside.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages: open the mobile bin, pour the solid material into the bin, reset it, start the rotatable blade (0--200 / min) to rotate, so that the material rotates and quickly moves upward to the center, and then flows downward to the bottom of the bin. The peristaltic pump sends the fluid extract of the adhesive or Chinese medicine into the atomizing spray gun and sprays it into the bin, attaches it to the surface of the dynamic material powder particles, and the adjacent powder particles are bonded into particles. After a few minutes, start the booster fan to send hot air (temperature ≤80℃, controllable wind speed), and enter the synchronous operation of granulation and drying. The airflow in the bin passes through the titanium rod to extinguish the dust and is discharged from the air outlet pipe.

[0013] When the utility model is implemented, the purification air supply system can be not started at the initial granulation, the material movement and bonding granulation is not carried out synchronously with the air flow drying, and the purification air supply system is started again after a few minutes to send hot air and granulation and drying synchronously, so that the material of extremely fine particle size can be avoided from running. For example, celecoxib.

[0014] Since the paddles rotate continuously, the materials are kept moving, which can avoid the phenomenon of materials sticking to the bottom of the silo (commonly known as the nesting phenomenon in the industry).

[0015] Since the temperature is adjustable and controllable, and it can be operated even at room temperature, this machine is suitable for drying materials containing volatile substances, such as the drying of compound Danshen granules with borneol.

[0016] This wet granulation and drying all-in-one machine has a simple structure and occupies a small space. The material will not stick to the bottom of the silo. It dries at low temperature to avoid damage to heat-sensitive components. It has fewer operating procedures, high efficiency, and low energy consumption. It has high practical value and promotion value. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
