Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of capsule forming technology and relates to a capsule forming device that prevents air from entering. Background Technology

[0002] The main drawbacks of existing capsule forming equipment regarding capsule contact with air lie in the risks of contamination and humidity control. During production, capsules come into direct contact with air, making them susceptible to contamination from airborne microorganisms, dust, and other pollutants, which can affect capsule quality and safety. Fluctuations in air humidity can affect the capsule forming and drying process, leading to uneven capsule wall thickness and inconsistent hardness. These drawbacks stem from the capsule forming equipment's design failing to adequately isolate it from the external environment and its insufficient precision in environmental control.

[0003] Conventional solutions include adding filtration systems to capsule forming equipment to purify the air, and using desiccants or temperature and humidity control systems to maintain a stable production environment. However, these methods have drawbacks, such as increased equipment complexity and operating costs, and may not completely eliminate the risk of contamination and the effects of humidity fluctuations. Filtration systems require regular replacement and maintenance, desiccants require regular replacement, and temperature and humidity control systems require continuous energy consumption and fine-tuning, all of which can lead to reduced production efficiency and increased costs. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a capsule forming device that prevents air ingress to address these issues. Utility Model Content
