Manufacturing equipment of pharmaceutical auxiliary material
Technical Field
The invention relates to a manufacturing device of pharmaceutical excipients, which is particularly suitable for preparing small granular stearic acid and cetostearyl alcohol.
Background
The medicinal small granular cetostearyl alcohol has large specific surface area, is easy to be mixed with other materials uniformly, and is widely applied to the pharmaceutical industry. At present, the pharmaceutical grade cetostearyl alcohol is mainly prepared by firstly proportioning and melting cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol according to a formula, uniformly mixing, and then cooling by a granulator to prepare products in the shapes of small beads, semi-spheres or flakes and the like. The process has four major defects, namely, firstly, the freezing point is reduced when two different materials are mixed, so that the product is easy to bond in summer, particularly, the product is particularly obvious for small granular products, secondly, in order to prevent the material from bonding, the particle size can be improved, but the particle is not easy to solidify when the particle is large, or the temperature of the product with poor particle cooling effect is higher, equipment is required to be increased for deep cooling, the using effect is greatly influenced by the particle, thirdly, the material proportioning and mixing operation is complex, and fourthly, the product size distribution is uneven, and more products containing fine powder are easy to generate safety problems and caking problems.
The three types of medicinal stearic acid products are respectively 50 (stearic acid content is 40-60%), 70 (stearic acid content is 60-80%) and 95, and the three types of medicinal stearic acid products are uniformly mixed and then produced at present. There are also various disadvantages, first, freezing point depression; thirdly, the product fine powder multiparticulates are unevenly adhered to the tower wall, the maintenance cost is high, and safety problems such as dust explosion and the like are easily caused.

The technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:
The manufacturing equipment of the pharmaceutical auxiliary materials comprises a raw material tank, a delivery pump, a cooling tower, a separator, a fan and a cooler, wherein an air outlet at the top of the cooling tower is connected with the fan through the separator, the fan is connected with an air inlet at the lower part of the cooling tower through the cooler to form air circulation, a discharge hole is formed in the bottom of the cooling tower, a spray head is installed in the cooling tower through a pipeline, and the spray head is connected with the raw material tank through the delivery pump.
The raw material tank, the delivery pump and the spray head form a group of feeding and granulating systems, and the manufacturing equipment comprises at least two sets of feeding and granulating systems. For example, when producing cetostearyl alcohol, one set of cetostearyl alcohol is quantitatively conveyed to carry out cetostearyl alcohol granulation, and the other set of cetostearyl alcohol is quantitatively conveyed to carry out stearyl alcohol granulation, and the mixture of different proportions can be carried out by changing the flow of cetostearyl alcohol and the flow of stearyl alcohol.
The spray head structure comprises an upper cavity and a lower cavity, wherein the upper cavity is connected with the lower cavity through screws, a feeding hole is formed in the upper cavity, and a filter screen, a filler, a distribution pore plate and a discharge pore plate are sequentially stacked in the lower cavity.
The discharge pore plate is provided with a plurality of small holes with the aperture of 0.05-0.2mm, the distribution pore plate is also provided with a plurality of small holes with the aperture of 0.3-1.0mm, and the filter screen is a 100-500 mesh screen.
During operation of the inventive manufacturing apparatus, the temperature of the circulating air is maintained between 5 and 40 degrees.
After the technical scheme is adopted, the beneficial effects of the invention are as follows:
1. The product is a single-component solid mixture, the sphericity of small particles is high, the distribution is uniform, the diameter is 0.05-0.3mm, the product is not stuck and bonded, and the homogenization speed of small particle materials is high.
2. Because the cooling speed is extremely high, the crystal structure of the product particles is good, and the product is in a white crystal structure.
3. The formula of the materials in the production process is continuously adjustable, front ingredients are not needed, the safety of the production process is high, and the front separator of the fan is basically free of fine powder.
