Description

Technical Field

[0002] Vitamins are a collective term for a series of organic compounds. They are a class of trace organic substances essential for humans and animals to maintain normal physiological functions. Most cannot be produced by the organism itself and must be obtained from food. Only a few can be synthesized in the body or produced by intestinal microorganisms. They play an important role in human growth, metabolism, and development and are one of the six major nutrients (carbohydrates, fats, proteins, minerals, vitamins, and water). In the vitamin production process, granulators are used to make tablets. However, current vitamin granulators do not have a drying and shaping function after granulation. Most require other machines for drying or direct air drying to allow them to naturally shape, which is not only cumbersome. Therefore, we propose a granulator for vitamin production.
