Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of capsule filling machine technology, and in particular to a filling powder leakage recovery device for capsule filling machines. Background Technology
[0002] Capsule filling machines are devices used to fill drug powders or granules into empty capsules. They are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry. With the continuous development of the pharmaceutical industry, the requirements for the quality, efficiency and environmental protection of drug production are increasing. In the capsule filling process, powder leakage not only affects product quality and production efficiency, but also relates to the company's production costs and environmental protection.
[0003] A typical capsule filling machine consists of a control device, a filling device, and a supply device. The control device precisely regulates the operation of each component according to a preset program to ensure the orderliness and stability of the filling process and achieve control over the entire filling process. The filling device fills the capsule shell with medicine through a conveying pipe and a scraper, and the supply device is responsible for orderly conveying the empty capsules to the filling station.
[0004] In existing technologies, some devices cannot guarantee that the powder is evenly filled into each capsule, resulting in large differences in the powder content inside the capsules, which cannot meet the strict quality standards of pharmaceutical production. Furthermore, the device will produce a lot of powder leakage during filling. The leakage of a large amount of powder not only wastes raw materials and increases production costs, but also pollutes the production environment. Cleaning up the leakage powder also consumes a lot of manpower and resources. Therefore, a filling leakage powder recovery device for capsule filling machines is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a filling powder leakage recovery device for a capsule filling machine, which aims to improve the problems in the prior art where the filling device of some devices is completely exposed to the outside, and the filling powder is filled through a conveying pipe, resulting in the filling powder coming into contact with the outside environment, uneven filling, and a lot of powder leakage.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
