At first, carry out generality at the system that comprises method and apparatus of the present invention and capsule and illustrate, to emphasize key structure feature of the present invention and various aspects.Following enumerate be not order or be not general complete, just covered the various aspects that system of the present invention is different from art methods simply.
The invention provides following various aspects:
It does not need the capsule that is orientated, has simplified operation and has improved the reliability of this method.
Being applied on the space of seal fluid controlled, and realizes good sealing so that optimize the zone of moistening, and making has minimum viscosity and the fastest drying.
The temperature of seal fluid can be controlled to and realize effective capillarity and best rate of dissolution.This means and use the heating and cooling system, for example use the system requirements of gelatine capsule to be higher than the temperature of environment, and HPMC (hydroxypropyl emthylcellulose) system is just fine with hot solvent and ambient temperature drying.
The volume that is applied to the seal fluid on the slit surrounding space between the capsule utricule part (being capping and utricule) is adjustable, to prevent excessive moistening.
Sealing liquid evenly is applied in capsule on every side to reach desired region-wide sealing.
By jet gas and/or bleed and be used for removing excessive seal fluid.
This system makes capsule size change change of component is required minimum through design.
This system can operate with the seal fluid of certain limit through design, and this liquid includes but not limited to be used for the alcohol/aqueous mixtures of gelatine capsule, and as described in EP0116743A1 and the EP0116744A1, it is for reference that the document is introduced into this paper.For by other material capsule of making such as starch, HPMC for example, need other dicyandiamide solution.The invention provides the method for crucial sealing of various controls and drying parameter such as temperature, solvent formula, time, air-flow, make it possible to use best method and control it well.
Capsular transmission to be at utmost reducing between capsule and the equipment surface and the mode that capsule contacts each other realizes after the sealing, adheres to or the danger of outward appearance (cosmetic) damage to reduce.
Capsular rate of drying is controlled carefully,, be diffused in the body part of capsule material and fluid is not free with the bonding securely each other of overlapped surfaces in guaranteeing when the solvent evaporation.
Require overlapped surfaces to contact under the following conditions in capping with reliable bonding on the utricule: the surface will fuse and engage with certain intensity, and required time and gelatin long-chain molecule take place to tangle shortest time of needs is suitable.This has set the rate of drying that this system will regulate.
Contact pressure between the agglutinating surface of needs is kept by the combination of interfering edge, and this interfering edge derives from capsular accurate production control and because the capsule expansion that absorption of fluids causes.
All surface with the uniform rate drying be avoid being out of shape or the sealing function of difference needed, and can realize by the capsule upset mechanism of air blowing of the present invention, dry cage device.
The carrying out of dry run can be selected flow velocity and humidity by the temperature of control air-flow, realizes the needed temperature of capsular powerful bonding, time, damp condition to be reached for.
This capsule is exsiccant in dry cage device, and this device can be controlled and the capsule that meanwhile overturns is not adhered to each other by dry and capsule equably to guarantee all surfaces transporting velocity.
To surface, material and the form design of the helical conveyor in the dry cage device guarantee in operating process capsule be not retained in it and the capsule minimum degree be subjected to because of being in contact with it caused damage.
The porosity process that constitutes the structure of dry cage device designs low-flow resistance and the uniform air flow of guaranteeing on capsule.
The all adjustable two or more high velocity air nozzles in width and position are along the straight line points upwards of the minimum point of dry cage device, and air velocity is enough to promote tends to adhere to this lip-deep any capsule.
The rotating speed control of dry cage device makes can control drying time, because axial slip speed is the function of rotating speed.
The dry air parameter control realizes by using servo-control system, so that even keep uniform state under the situation about externally changing.
The operation of total sealing system is to finish in the self-contained equipment of small size (small footprint), makes to be complementary with the equipment of filling in the track environment at capsule.
Therefore and then system of the present invention can seal liquid-filling capsule after filling the suitable speed filling of streamline with conventional capsule.
Because therefore equipment of the present invention can not need the charging aperture closed butt joint with the discharging opening and the water-tight equipment of the present invention of filler from the standard hopper feed.This allows to use steadily production procedure of surge volume, to deal with the short time parking of filler or water-tight equipment.
The basic improvement that method and apparatus of the present invention is compared with the sealing system of prior art is: the slit geometry of control capsule utricule part is to guarantee along whole overlap length capillarity fully uniformly being arranged, and the design that is used for the drying means or the suitable equipment of this step, it so that the mode that the slit is fully closed and the utricule part adheres to each other well except that desolvating.
Capsule designs
Be suitable for most capsule designs in the sealing system of the present invention by two half of compositions, overlap with one heart when imbedding when being bonded together these two one side of something.The basic skills that seals between two one side of something is that solvent or seal fluid are incorporated in the overlay region in the slit between two one side of something, so that when solvent evaporation, inner surface comes in contact and fuses together at soft state.
In order to realize excellent sealing, in necessary is seal fluid is solvent must be filled between two surfaces that need bond together whole slits with this method.For capsule, this is the total length of the overlay region between capping and utricule.Two surface potentials that need be bonded together must with solvent reaction, make to fit together at them that this inner surface is soft and viscosity when forming bonding and concerning.This can by be controlled at solvent evaporation make two surfaces be in contact with one another before the temperature and time of this solvent when being in the slit realize.At last, remove the effect desolvate need apply external force in want on agglutinating two surfaces so that they are kept together with adhesive form.
The present invention solves these problems on the application of solvent and the exsiccant mechanism in capsular design.
In order to support the even filling of solvent in the slit, this capsule has such architectural feature through design: it is separated into predetermined distance equably with two surfaces, simultaneously this solvent is introduced in the slit.If this slit does not have in other places at some local broads, then the distribution of solvent in whole zone changes, and causes some the some places around capsule that poor sealing is arranged.This slit is closed fully when solvent is removed and bond formation.This closing force has limited intensity, to such an extent as to can reduce bonding strength to any resistance of moving two surfaces together to.In addition, if because product in capsule is not the solvent of capsule material and it is penetrated in the slit, then it will block the effect of sealing solvent, so capsule designs preferably makes this slit be obtained prevention by the situation of product pollution in the capsule.
An importance of the present invention is an accuracy, because this accuracy makes the control of various parameters that all these requirements can be by manufacturing tolerance limit of capsule and sealing system such as temperature, time, solvent volume, solvent position, drying condition realize.
For capsule various designs are arranged, keep capsular all other requirements simultaneously in order that reach the control of desired slit, as outward appearance, manufacturability is swallowed easiness etc.Some suitable designs are introduced in the disclosure of EP-0180543A1 as a reference.Embodiment preferred is used the balanced configuration at intravital at least 3 protuberances of capsule (bumps), in their optional recesses or groove of locking in the capping.These feature structures provide axial location and keep capping and utricule to be in concentric position so that uniform slit is provided.Concrete example comprises one or more versions, as the ring and the coupling groove of axial rising, even roughness surface on one or more, a plurality of protuberances and recess, a plurality of cannelures and recess, and choma and recess.
This gap size is through selecting, so that the solvent volume that capillary is entered is enough to pour into the inner surface in slit, is enough to therefore that this surface of modification makes it deliquescing and tool viscosity makes two surfaces bond when being pressed together.This volume will depend on material, temperature and the power that is applied in two surfaces that bond.Typically, this slit is in 0.05mm arrives the 0.5mm scope.Typically, the volume of the initial needed solvent of blind is between 5 μ l and 20 μ l.
For except that allowing the slit closure when desolvating, must allow some tolerance limits to use for motion.This can realize that common architectural feature is that this design does not allow these architectural features extend in the slit by many kind designs, and this design keeps enough rigidity and stops the slit closure.When using the spacer structure feature, the design that then has the spacer structure feature because softening deforming feasiblely can be carried out needed motion under the effect of solvent, is ideal especially.An example of this type of architectural feature is shown among Fig. 1.
The geometry of the spaced features of Xian Shiing should make peripheral space so that allow the material of this protuberance flow into when the closure of slit in the figure.The respective design of other embodiment is possible, as long as met the principle that minimum flow is held in the distortion that allows formed body.
When existing, solvent prevents that product is fed in the gap area, to require slot ends that sealing is provided being exposed to the capsule zone, provide normal pressure to flow into the slit from capsular outside to inside, and/or product is maintained static to prevent that it from flowing in the narrow crack to prevent product.
The capsular preferred embodiment of using in the inventive method and equipment is to come the top of sealing off gap by the appropriate designs with buckle structure feature.
Solvent is used
It is the inner surface in the slit of modification between capping and utricule that second of sealing requires, so that they become soft and sticking fitting in a time-out.As previously described, this requires type and the amount and the temperature thereof of control seal fluid or solvent.The invention provides the principle of utilizing many solvents to realize this notion, this solvent belongs to relevant with this area or introduce the type of describing in the patent application formerly for reference.Use helps inner surface by volume required solvent impregnated with the capsule in the slit of control well of having that inclusions sealing separates.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, solvent is delivered to the outward flange in slit equably along circumference.Surface tension makes solvent be inhaled up equably from the outside the slit, as long as gap length is uniform.In order to prevent the softening of outer surface, remove any excessive solvent as far as possible apace.
Existing various technology are applied to solvent in the slit, comprising: the several points around the capsule spray to the outer peripheral spraying in slit, and it continues one section through time design, can distribute the solvent of proper volume on capsule; Embodiment as previously discussed, wherein nozzle can be distributed the piezoelectricity or the heating ink gun of appropriate solvent by a row, replaces by touching being provided with of sponge that desired location shifts solvent, brush, wicking bar etc.; And the opening in the nozzle alignment slit of solvent vapo(u)r is so that directly be condensate in steam on the capsule.
Except around slit inlet, distribute equably volume required, any excess liq solvent on capsule surface must be removed by this system before softening this capsule material.This can realize by various means, comprising the air-breathing liquid that siphons away, jetly blows away lip-deep liquid, utilizes core sucting action to absorb liquid by contact, and the liquid that it is excessive that centrifugal force is dished out is that excessive liquid or these measures are removed in vibration and use.
The preferred embodiment of water-tight equipment of the present invention has been used along 3 nozzles of circumference with 120 ° of intervals, and it points to the outside opening place in overlapping slit, wherein excessive liquid by jet and bleed and with being removed.Except the accurate control of volume and the position that applies solvent, capsule, the temperature of solvent and atmosphere need remain in institute's restricted portion.The desired control level depends on the multiformity of material and environment.This equipment is equipped with suitable temperature control system, so that suitable operating condition is provided in very wide environmental field.
Removal of solvents
The 3rd requirement is the solvent of removing in the slit, and its mode should make and produce active force so that hold them in together when two dry tack frees.The last method that solvent is removed is as steam, and its transmission realizes by carrying secretly in the air-flow of suitable temperature.Solvent is delivered to from the slit the air and can realizes by several principles, for example flow to support from the liquid surface evaporation that exposes along the slit, evaporate from outer surface by the diffusion of capsule cover closing material, mixes by capsule envelop materials diffusion with the inclusions fluid or absorb in the inclusions fluid, and spread and be bonded in the capsule material of capping and utricule.
All these methods can participate in dry run in a kind of mode desolvate but not introduce air of removing.When this process took place, atmospheric pressure was with up to 100,000 Newton/meter
2Pressure force capping and utricule surface to fit together.
If the raising temperature, all these transporting mechanisms all quicken.Yet, superheated temperature can cause following situation: stoped the formation of bonds well, for example bubble formation and skewed surface, too fast flow velocity causes air to be embedded in liquid, internal pressure raises and makes air discharge through the slit from capsule, thermal stress distortion capsule, or the overdrying of outer surface has improved the stiffness that stops closure.
The present invention optimizes air temperature and current so that carry out capsular drying in industrial acceptable speed, but does not reduce the quality of sealing by above-described any principle.
Hereinafter, describe the preferred embodiment of the equipment that is used for seal capsule in detail.
In a preferred embodiment, effectively all requirements and the equipment of sealing are implemented in self-contained machine.
This embodiment has the input hopper, and it receives the capsule in any source with any speed.Typically capsule feeds by using conveyer belt or flow delivery systems.
Capsule in this stage is mechanically to remain closed by the many architectural features in capsule capping and utricule, and has sealing system, so that the part sealing that prevents that capsular inclusions from spilling to be provided in the mechanical transfer process.
This hopper is the capsule charging through design so that at a plurality of feed pipes, and it is delivered to capsule in the water-tight equipment.Capsule utilizes gravity to be fed to the pipe from hopper, capsular move by means of input pipe between 0.5cm and 5.0cm distance and be designed to guarantee back and forth moving both vertically of level and smooth, locking-type (blockage) free-moving speed with a kind of.
Can between hopper and input pipe, insert optional capsule orientation apparatus, enter in the pipe with predetermined orientation to guarantee capsule.This function is not that effectively sealing is necessary, but can combine uses with the spray pattern shower nozzle of designed minimizing, at utmost reduces the volume of solvent for use or softening of restriction capsule outer surface.
Use six input pipes in one embodiment, this number is got the example that work is described subsequently, yet the embodiment with parallel path of any number can be used for satisfying desired volume of production.
Capsule in input pipe is prevented from motion by machinery pinning effect, and its cycle of opening is controlled by system controller.In order to realize sealing function, must utilize various effects with accurate timing and various relation.In preferred embodiments, all these effects are by using programmable logic controller (PLC) control, and program and timing can be through overregulating the requirement of satisfying all kinds of solvents system, to adapt to different capsule designs and material like this.Feature of the present invention is that PLC makes the single machine can be with diverse ways, and material and capsule size are moved.
The effect that is required by controller can include but not limited to that the combination of some actuators of solenoid, air pressure valve and cylinder, motor and cam realizes by use.
In the beginning of sealing cycle, PLC discharges to limit capsular lock and to allow and falls into the position that seals at each leading capsule in by all means.This point is known as jet pipe (spray bar).This jet pipe has a mechanism with the capsule fix in position and solvent is sprayed on the capsular mid portion, like this it equably be sealed on utricule on the tail end of overlapping portion around contact.This can realize around each capsule by the annular manifold that is provided with some apertures.The position in these holes and angle should make the liquid that penetrates from them will arrive on the capsular precalculated position.When this capsule was not orientated, then the zone on the capsule that is run into by solvent must make that capsule whatsoever is orientated, and the tail end in this slit is coated in the solvent.When capsule was orientated, it just was zone around the tail end in slit that the zone that is covered by solvent can reduce to.In order to reach needed coverage, there is certain angle in these holes, are typically 45 °, and at interval even around capsule.
Each jet pipe has a plurality of holes for each root of capsule input pipe, and typically 6, and liquid is transported in the nozzle by the arm in jet pipe.By liquid is connected in permanent pressurized source through control valve liquid is pressurizeed, force fluid is ejected on the capsule from nozzle.The time of opening by control valve and the pressure of pressure source of supply, the form and the volume that are assigned to capsular solvent can be controlled by the EFD valve positioner.In order to prevent solvent delivery, can in feed-line, prepare additional interlocked valve when not required.
This system typically is transported to each capsule with 20 μ l to the liquid volume of 200 μ l, uses pressure and the injecting time between 0.1 second and 1.0 seconds in 1 crust gauge pressure to 5 crust gauge pressure scope, and this depends on capsule size and material.
Speed and volume that solvent flows in the annular space around the capsule can be regulated, and guarantee that with desired form solvent is penetrated in the slit between capping and utricule equably.This comprises various states, as high-speed formation aerosol fog, the medium speed form liquid jet to the surface and low velocity form pendular ring, just touch capsule through overexpansion.
This system provides more solvent in capsule, surpasses the amount that can absorb in the slit, has all fully supplied with solvent in order to ensure All Ranges.By negative pressure-pumping and/or aerojet, around capsule, remove excessive solution.This effect also can be controlled by PLC, and near the additional round that utilization is arranged in the nozzle is removed air/solvent from the zone around each capsule.These holes utilize second manifold in the jet pipe to come interconnection and therefore are connected in vacuum pump and the catcher solvent vapo(u)r condensation and catch liquid in catcher.
Remove when finishing at solvent spray and excessive solvent, this capsule has allowed solvent enter in the slit, but because the effect of solvent outer surface makes its still toughness.This capsule must carry out drying under the condition of careful control, so that sealing correctly forms and capsule can adhesion or can not be subjected to apparent damage on surperficial because of adhering to other.
The method that realizes this purpose in preferred embodiments is that swivelling-nozzle enters in the dry cage so that allow inlet (entry ports) arrange capsule away from input pipe.This can realize by jet pipe is installed in the cylinder that can rotate.In order to discharge capsule from jet pipe, cylinder rotates 120 °, and capsule utilizes the comprehensive function of push rod and aerojet to be evicted from.Capsule is to fall into an end of dry cage from each input pipe with respect to 60 ° of angles of vertical direction.
In order to keep high-throughput, the cylinder that jet pipe has been installed have holder with 3 jet pipes with 120 ° of fixed interval.This rotation is evicted (capsule) from and is made attract new jet pipe below input pipe, for following one-period begin prepare.
Additional feature structure allows the jet pipe cylinder to rotate in the opposite direction, when being guided by PLC, and allows capsule evict among the independent shute, and the latter is fed in the cylinder but is transported to independent outlet.This makes after sealing but can discharge capsule from machine before drying, for diagnosis with or carry out technology measurement.
For the accurate control of operating machines with the capsule of different size but keeping capsule charging and seal operation, need the variation of the variation of some hardware with the reply capsule size.Embodiment preferred is limited to the easy to reach project of minority with these variations, as the input pipe assembly, and jet pipe and output sieve.
In addition, correctly turn round, can use the pick off of some to guarantee that capsule and fluid are normal and are correctly transmitted in order to ensure machine.These be included in that the feed hopper place is provided with, determine whether normal optical pickocff of capsule, the Fibre Optical Sensor in the pipe between jet pipe and drum drier, pressure of in position going up and vacuum transducer, and flow transducer.
Cage (capsule is evicted from wherein after filling) includes the tubulose hole pattern setting of internal coiling guiding element.This cylinder rotates lentamente, make internal coiling cause capsule (along with capsule be rotated promote, it falls down from side) along cylinder the axle move.In this way, this capsule leniently overturns along cylinder according to the spiral path of internal coiling guiding element.
Dry cage function
The condition that capsule is dried after solvent is introduced in the slit is the key factor that obtains excellent sealing effect.The key function that needs to reach in drying is:
-capsule is transferred by dry section and arrives in the high capacity storage container;
-control the time of capsule in dry section is dry fully when guaranteeing that capsule is in entering the high capacity storage container, no longer adhesion;
-air flows through above capsule, realizes dry rapidly and uniformly;
-at utmost reduce capsule to contact with capsular, prevent their adhesions;
-at utmost reduce contacting of capsule and cage, prevent to adhere on the wall; With
-at utmost reduce mechanical shock, prevent breakage.
This drying cage device preferably has a kind of design, and it comprises the column structure of mainly being made by rustless steel knitmesh.Preferably the internal material of cohelix guiding element also belongs to stainless steel material.
The gravel size decision of cylinder is 600 and 1, length between the 000mm and the diameter between 100mm and 200mm, and wherein the diameter of the length of 800mm and 160mm is an embodiment preferred.The ratio of selecting diameter and length is with the control mechanical properties, and this length is that function and the diameter of needed time in dry section is the function that needs the capsular amount of processing.
In having this embodiment of above-mentioned size, select length so that in dry cage, be created in capsule time of staying between 10 seconds and 100 seconds.
This cylindrical dry cage be with it the axle be orientated in the horizontal direction.In preferred embodiments, this cage is subjected to ordering about of roller, allows it freely rotate along trunnion axis.These rollers have enough functions after making, in these rollers one is driven cause dry cage rotation or connects this cage of direct driving by idol at one end.Support and rotatory method of driving must provide air-flow freely in whole cage, and are consistent with the requirement of cleaning and keep clean.
In one embodiment, inner cohelix have cause that when cage rotate capsule is a function of axially overturning.The pitch of spiral and form for guarantee whole capsules with same rate mutually axially transport say so crucial.In this embodiment, this spiral forms from blade, and this blade extends to the knitmesh of cylinder from central shaft.Each blade is made up of two single-lobes, and two single-lobes are that diameter relatively extends to the cylinder gauze from central shaft.Each blade is installed on the axle, rotates with fixed angle with respect to its adjacent component.This angle is 12 degree typically.Blade is to form from the stainless steel substrates pressing mold that the typical case has 0.75mm thickness, and optional coating PTFE is to guarantee low surface energy.Blade is that the mechanical assembly spare that adopts in by the design at them is realized installing and fixing on axle and the cylinder.For this purpose, axle has circular groove so that with selected interval blade is installed, so that needed spiral type pitch to be provided.This pitch 5.993mm typically for 118 blades produces the double-spiral structure of the screw pitch with 179.8mm.This has the relative plat part of diameter and blade and has counter structure profile in their centre bore, goes up and is locked on the axle by being rotated in required groove so that blade can slide into axle.Blade is that groove by on the outline at blade is realized installing and fixing on the cylinder, and it is inner axial line coupling with being attached to cylindrical net.In typical embodiment, use with 12 ° of separated 30 lines and mate the blade arrangement.Vane group installs in the cage and is upward realized with rotating till locking puts in place by blade being slided into axle.The knitmesh of outer cylinder is held capsule and for blade provides two functions of arresting fitting therefor, the opening area maximization is flowed to allow good air textural having taken into account.In order to realize this purpose, 134 free rings of 0.16mm diameter stainless steel silk are along the vertical line welding of 30 stainless steels of 0.2mm diameter, and this vertical line is arranged with 121 increment along circumference.Vertical line is the inside at circumference, and they can be as the fixed part of blade like this.
Another embodiment is used the independent cage that is made of independent part, so that easier discharge.In this embodiment, use the 3cm helical structure, so that each spiral has the screw pitch of 240mm and the internal diameter that cage has 185mm.This cage outside and spiral arm are made from the flat die punching, each has 3 arms and has castellated edge, so that when being stacked on a time-out with 6 ° of supplementary angles along central shaft, each layer opened and formed the internal coiling with required pitch by crenelation city wall (castellations) with the intervals of about 4mm.Known feature structure locks together each several part so that drive from an end rotates all parts.
The structure of dry cage is the example of the means of desired transport condition when being implemented in capsule by dry section in the embodiment of Miao Shuing in front.This notion also can use various designs and constructing technology to realize.The rectangular section cage of this includes, but are not limited to have the straight angle (flat angled) baffle plate, the arrangement mode of these baffle plates makes that capsule is moved to above the cage, as shown in Figure 2 in one direction when cage rotates.
Rectangular section can reduce production cost significantly.
Another alternative plan is a belt system, wherein conveyer belt has the perforate web structure, to allow air around the capsule circulation, wherein vibration or aerojet can be used to randomly prevent that capsule from adhering to each other or adhere to conveyer belt, or adverse current dropper, wherein heating installation is transported to the bottom of standpipe with the speed through overregulating, so that capsular weight just is a bit larger tham the aerodynamic drag of updraft.Therefore the capsular speed that moves down can be adjusted by regulating air velocity, and making has the time of delivery of enough drying up excess fluid.
In another embodiment preferred of cylindrical dry cage device, the division center feature has the branch that constitutes 3 spirals that interweave, and the angle of spiral makes length direction rotation 2 to 4 weeks of this spiral along dry cage.
The perforate character of outer cylinder and spiral arm allows air flow super-dry cage so that freely mix with capsule.
This cage is installed, and in its sclerine container around packing into, this container has passage so that allow air admission and leaving.Air enters via the two or more axial slits in the cage bottom.The size of this slit can guarantee that the air that enters has at a high speed after designing, be enough to like this upgrade capsule with the enhancing effect of rolling from the cage inner surface, and it is not inter-adhesive to guarantee that capsule does not promptly adhere on the wall yet.Air is positioned at the end opposite of capsule charging through associating mouth leaves this chamber.
The air that is fed to dry cage is from the compressor bank that volumes of air can be provided at a high speed.In order to regulate air to desired temperature, heating or cooling heat exchanger are installed between compressor and the slit admission.Improve temperature from the indoor air that enters compressor by compression, and do not carrying out under the situation of additional adjusting, in ambient temperature be higher than under the temperature between 30 ℃ of the ambient temperatures and enter drying machine.By heating or cooling, this temperature range can be controlled in 5 ℃ to 80 ℃ the scope.Cooling heat exchanger preferably with the air-water system that on automobile, uses with same version.Expellant gas is taken away by other high power capacity air pump from dry cage, its guiding carry this air and solvent vapo(u)r along ventilation shaft away from this machine.
Therefore waste gas can be discharged into indoor, via air channel and smoke stack emission in outside air or enter in condenser/scrubber to remove and desolvate and handle the waste gas that will discharge.
The scene and the employed solvent of operation depended in the selection of exhausting system.
The use of high capacity supply and suction air pump makes can regulate the interior pressure of cage.When needs avoid solvent to be discharged in the ambient air, all positions in drying machine, it is important that pressure all is lower than indoor environment pressure.PLC can control two motors that drive two pumps, therefore can regulate pressure and flow independently.
The effect of spiral is meant that the time of staying of capsule in dry cage can control by rotary speed simply in dry cage.When capsule arrived the tail end of cage, they fell into sieve, fell into storage container then or fell on connecting gear.
When employed solvent should not be discharged in the room air, can comprise that in this system additional architectural feature is to guarantee that whole solvents is removed with air blowing.These comprise: the protective shielding around jet pipe cylinder assembly, the space that it has formed the basic closure that is connected to waste gas pump is removed to guarantee any steam that discharges in this zone, the transparent protective shield that replaces the input pipe assembly to install covers, it allows the operator observe solvent before the seal operation in beginning and is poured on wherein the jet pipe, as their service behaviour macroscopy method, be lower than under the atmospheric pressure to guarantee that solvent-laden whole space is maintained at by this air-flow of pressure balance, air-flow setting in the exit can make capsule leave and not lose solvent vapo(u)r, under extreme case, the capsule that leaves drying machine can be contained in the sealed container, by this container air is blown in the waste gas to remove any residual solvent steam, interlock to prevent from after spraying, to enter into the liquid feeding part of machine by control through the regular hour, and/or selection and all material that liquid or solvent vapo(u)r contact, guarantee not degraded for a long time.
