Starting from October, we will install 3 fully automatic capsule laser marking machines to Guangdong Anshi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and send several technicians to work there. Yesterday, Zhu Baigang, chairman of Xinchang Jieao Laser Products Co., Ltd. told reporters that before the "Jiaao Laser" had recovered the automatic capsule Laser Marking Machine sold to the other side.
Capsule ink marking upgrade to laser marking
Why develop a fully automatic capsule laser marking machine? Zhu Bogang's original idea was simple, to solve the problem of ink marking capsules used by pharmaceutical and capsule manufacturers.
"Marking ink attached to the capsule seems to be insignificant, but it will cause direct or indirect harm to the human body." Zhu Baigang said. Since 2007, “Jiaao Laser” has invested more than 20 million yuan to organize experts and technicians to tackle the problem. After six years of hard work, the company successfully developed the first fully automatic capsule laser marking machine in the first half of last year. He has obtained 3 invention patents and 9 utility model patents.
Its successful development has ended the traditional ink printing technology, solved the drug safety problems caused by ink pollution, not only green, but also saved consumables.
In the production workshop, the technicians were only allowed to operate in front of the computer screen, and then a bag of capsules was poured into the machine. In a short time, a string of marks was printed on a capsule. Zhu Baigang said that a marking machine can mark dozens of capsules in one second and can mark 120,000 in one hour.
The reporter picked up a capsule and found that the logo had two lines. It was the drug approval number and production batch number of a local capsule company.
"With such a logo, as with the 'ID card', no matter where the capsule is sold, it will know which company produces the product." Zhu Baigang said that in fact, the capsule has a shelf life, and the shelf life of the raw gelatin is 3 years. . If the batch number is printed, the factory time will be clear at a glance.
Once the automatic laser marking machine was introduced, it was favored by pharmaceutical and capsule manufacturers. Some soft capsules of well-known pharmaceutical companies such as Pharmaceutical and Xinchang Pharmaceuticals were already using the “Jiaao Laser” marking machine, and more enterprises were Request to order this product.
The laser marking machine sold sells all the recycling
Some local capsule companies are also optimistic about this product. Wang Weiliang, chairman of Xinchang Tianlong Rubber Pill Factory, has talked with Zhu Baigang many times and is ready to use laser marking machine, but he is more concerned about the market's norms and integrity issues.
"If everyone can buy a laser marking machine, it means that everyone can print the logo by themselves, and it may also lead to the phenomenon of counterfeiting other products." Wang Weiliang said.
This sentence allowed Zhu Baigang to succumb to the top. After consulting with the top management, he re-adjusted the business model - the company decided not to sell the product, but the person followed the machine: if the pharmaceutical or capsule company needed it, the laser was hit. The standard machine is installed in the other company, and a technician is sent to operate it; or a processing workshop is set up to print the capsule logo for the enterprise.
Since the first half of this year, more than 10 fully automatic laser marking machines that have been sold have been recycled, and more than 600 million yuan has been spent before and after. “Jiaao Laser” has started a new layout, and directed production and training according to the needs of the other party. Technical staff.
"Standing the capsule market, from the enterprise level, we are making further efforts." Zhu Baigang said. The "poison capsule" incident that occurred in Xinchang two years ago has had a great impact on the local capsule industry. In order to prevent illegal elements from being able to take advantage of it, some enterprises have strengthened their management and improved their own quality, and their self-prevention awareness has also increased.
In Xinchang, Wang Huarun, who has been engaged in the capsule industry for more than 30 years, is considered a "male-level" figure. He believes that each capsule must have an identity mark at the factory, and control from the source, there is no market for counterfeit products. However, the strength of the enterprise alone is still limited, requiring industry guidance and government support.
Not long ago, Zhejiang Pharmaceutical Packaging Industry Association has issued a recommendation letter to the province's capsule and pharmaceutical companies to vigorously promote this fully automatic laser marking machine produced by Xinchang. Several members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference have come to investigate and are drafting proposals for submission to the National Congress of the next year. It is recommended that capsules and pharmaceutical companies change ink printing capsules for laser printing.
