Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to an apparatus for producing a soft capsule containing a solid dosage form as a content. More particularly, the present invention relates to a solid dosage form such as a tablet and an apparatus for producing a soft capsule containing the liquid content liquid as a content.
Generally, a gelatin soft capsule is prepared by dissolving a drug in a liquid form as a core component, sealing it and shaping it with gelatin. In addition, the core component of the gelatin soft capsule can be prepared in the form of a paste, a tablet, as well as a dissolved liquid phase.
In the case of a hydrophilic drug, polyethylene glycol (PEG) 200, 300, 400 or 600, propylene glycol or the like is used as a liquid-phase dissolving agent for dissolving pharmaceuticals, and in the case of a hydrophobic drug, lecithin is usually added to soybean oil as a surfactant have.
However, conventional gelatin soft capsules are difficult to use as sustained-release preparations because liquid core drug, which is easily absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, rapidly increases the blood concentration.
On the other hand, in the case of sustained-release preparations, they have been developed into tablets or hard capsule formulations by adding sustained-release controlled-release polymers to medicines.
However, in the case of tablets or hard capsule preparations containing sustained-release release-controlling polymers, storage stability and / or pH stability are deteriorated when exposed to various external environments, so that when sustained-release tablets or hard capsules are taken two to three months after preparation It was difficult to show the effect of the slow release.
Recently, PCT International Publication WO-A-2012/17326 'Capsules Containing Solid Formulations in Capsules and Apparatus for Manufacturing the Same' discloses a capsule containing a pellet, a small capsule, a small tablet, a sustained- Soft gel capsules containing shaped formulations.
Also, in the patent document, (a) two spreader boxes; (b) two casting drums; (c) a pair of rotary die having suction means; (d) a liquid filler system; (e) a wedge for heating the gelatin ribbon and feeding the filler; And (f) a two-sided dispenser, said two side dispensers comprising: a hopper having a solid dosage form; a channel guide for transferring the solid dosage form; And a grip protrusion for insertion into the formed soft gel pocket.
Further, in the case of the above-described soft gel capsule manufacturing apparatus, a solid formulation is put on a pair of right and left die rolls and rotated together with a die roll, and the solid formulation is injected and sealed on both sides of the left and right gelatin sheets.
However, in order to prepare the soft gel capsules by injecting the solid dosage form on both sides of the left and right gelatin sheets and sealing the gelatin sheets as disclosed in the above-mentioned patent documents, in order to precisely transfer the solid dosage form along the outer peripheral surface of the left and right die rolls, The gelatin sheet and the solid dosage form had to be prevented from being diverted to the outside of the die roll.
The decompression of the outer peripheral surface of the die roll using the vacuum state causes the gelatin sheet transferred along the outer peripheral surface to stick to the outer peripheral surface of the die roll so that the gelatin sheet is not sewn to the right and left, Resulting in defective production of the resulting soft gel article.
In addition, a large amount of electric power is required for decompression using the vacuum state of the pair of left and right die rolls, which is problematic in cost.
Therefore, the present inventor has developed a soft gel manufacturing apparatus to minimize the phenomenon that the gelatin sheet is adhered to the outer circumferential surface of the die roll due to the reduced pressure on the die roll peripheral surface, and to minimize the defect of the soft gel article.
Conventionally, a solid formulation injected from both the right and left die rolls is injected only into the right die roll, so that only the right die roll, in which the solid formulation is injected, The present inventors have developed a soft gel manufacturing apparatus which can minimize the defects of soft gel articles, thereby completing the present invention.
A problem to be solved by the present invention is that a solid dosage form to be injected in both the right and left die rolls is injected only into the right die roll and thus only the right die roll into which the solid dosage form is injected, It is desired to develop a soft gel manufacturing apparatus that minimizes defects of a soft gel article by allowing a more precise suture to be performed continuously and quantitatively when the sheet is sealed.
The object of the present invention is achieved by a method for producing a gelatinized food product comprising the steps of: i) feeding a first gelatin sheet cooled in a first gelatin freezing drum (10) to an upper end of a left die roll (30) through a first feed roller (12); Ii) a unit for feeding the second gelatin sheet cooled in the second gelatin

The effect of the present invention is to provide a device for producing a soft gel which minimizes the defects of the soft gel articles by enabling continuous and quantitative sieving of the gelatin sheets on both left and right sides. In addition, in the soft gel manufacturing apparatus, the decompression using the vacuum state is performed in only one die roll, thereby reducing the power consumption and thereby reducing the cost.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Fig. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of a soft capsule manufacturing apparatus containing the solid dosage form of the present invention as its contents. Fig.
The soft capsule production apparatus containing the solid dosage form of the present invention as its contents is composed of four partial units. The configuration of each partial unit is as follows.
The first partial unit is a unit for feeding the first gelatin sheet cooled in the first
The third subunit is a unit for transferring the tablet supplied from the
Also, the tablet injected in this unit corresponds to the solid dosage form of the present invention, and means a tablet and all solid dosage forms equivalent thereto. For example, tablets, coated tablets, pellets, microcapsules, sustained release solid, immediate release solid, core-shell solid solid, and the like.
The fourth subunit includes a first gelatin sheet supplied to the left die roll
