Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of plant hollow capsules, and in particular relates to a plant hollow capsule shell cutting device. Background Technology
[0002] Plant-based empty capsules typically refer to capsules made from plant-derived materials (such as seaweed and plant fibers), and are widely used in nutritional supplements, pharmaceuticals, and food. Compared to traditional animal-based gelatin capsules, plant-based empty capsules have the advantage of being plant-based, making them suitable for vegetarians, those with religious requirements, and people with allergies. The capsule shell is made from natural plant-derived materials and is commonly used in pharmaceutical and health product packaging.
[0003] Plant-based hollow capsule shells are typically composed of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, trehalose, gelatin substitutes, etc. For discarded or expired plant capsules, the capsule shell needs to be cut open so that the shell material and the internal filler can be recycled separately. The discarded plant capsule shells may be chemically or physically processed and transformed into other usable bio-based materials or composite materials for use in plastic substitutes, packaging materials, and other fields. Meanwhile, the raw materials inside the plant capsules can be degraded.
[0004] Since the recycling of plant hollow capsules requires cutting the capsules to separate the capsule shell from the internal raw materials, traditional cutting methods may be inefficient, which will affect the quality and efficiency of the subsequent recycling process. Therefore, it is particularly important to design an efficient and stable plant hollow capsule shell cutting device. Utility Model Content
