For a long time, the issue of ink standard for hard capsule printing has been plagued by capsule manufacturers, and consumers are uneasy about the content of possible harmful substances. The successful development of automatic capsule
Laser Marking Machine solved the problem of long-term use of ink printing capsules for the pharmaceutical industry. China Pharmaceutical Machinery Network reported.
The first automatic capsule laser marking machine was successfully developed in Xinchang County, Zhejiang Province. This is an international initiative in China's pharmaceutical industry, a major technological breakthrough and industry innovation that fills domestic gaps. Solved the long-term use of ink printing capsules for pharmaceutical and capsule manufacturers.
This laser marking machine is exquisite in craftsmanship and has good visual effects. It can print more than 50,000 pieces per hour. Compared with the traditional ink printing machine, no consumables are needed for printing, and the printed product has no toxic or side effects, which saves the cost of ink and other consumables for capsules and drug manufacturers, and also improves food safety.
All along, medicinal hard capsules are the most commonly used packaging products for pharmaceutical and health care products manufacturers. In order to facilitate product identification, protection of self-owned brands, and prevention of counterfeiting, enterprises must print labels on the surface of the capsules. The printed logos are printed only by traditional inks. Although national and industry standards are strictly stipulated, the ink used for capsule printing must meet the standard edible ink, but in the actual production process, manufacturers use low-grade edible inks or even non-edible inks for printing in order to maximize profits. There is no better alternative product. For this reason, capsule manufacturers have been plagued for a long time.
Experts say that medicines and health products are not general commodities, and consumers do not perceive the content of ingredients and harmful substances in them. The residual ink on the capsule will have more or less influence on the human body. The safety and harmfulness of using ink printing capsules has attracted wide attention from manufacturers and consumers. Therefore, some drug manufacturers prefer to abandon the brand logo and do not use ink printing capsules.
Xinchang County, Zhejiang Province is a national production of capsules, known as the “hometown of capsules”. Large and medium-sized pharmaceutical companies such as Zhejiang Pharmaceutical and Guobang Pharmaceutical are also in Xinchang. To this end, Xinchang County Jieao Laser Products Co., Ltd. has organized experts and technicians to research and develop automatic capsule laser marking machines since 2007. After three years of hard work, it finally developed a computer-controlled automatic capsule laser marking. Machine, and has registered software copyright and declared a number of national patents. Tested to meet the requirements of capsules and drug manufacturers.
At present, the aircraft has been mass-produced and put on the market, creating a new era in the pharmaceutical industry from ink printing capsules to laser printing.
