Static electricity is ubiquitous and has different impacts in different industries. The impact on the pharmaceutical industry is mainly: dust absorption, impact on weighing, and difficulty in filling.
The following is the static electricity problems and solutions in the pharmaceutical industry organized.
Vibrating plate feeder
Static problems: If the product is removed from the workbench under the condition of static electricity, it will adsorb the dust in the surrounding air, or adsorb on the workbench protection cover.
Anping suggested: Install a BH1001 or BH7004A static eliminator at about 200mm from the rear wall of the hood to eliminate static electricity on the product.
Disc linear feed
Static problems: Disk feeders are commonly used in electronics, medical, pharmaceutical and other industries. Static electricity can cause products to stick to each other, stick to or jump from the tray.
Anping suggested: Install BH1001 or BH2001B static eliminator above and beside the tray
Capsule filling production line
Static problem: During capsule filling, very low electrostatic charge can cause the material to be adsorbed on the weighing pan, so that it does not fall as needed, resulting in inaccurate weighing doses, and may even damage weighing electronic equipment.
Anping suggested: Install static eliminators in pairs above the feeder to ensure that the container is full of static elimination ions to neutralize all static electricity.
Drug test paper
Static problems: When the small strips of medicinal test paper are poured into the final packaging container, they will adhere to the wall of the funnel due to static electricity.
Anping suggested: Install a BH7002 or BH7004A static elimination rod above the funnel.
Micro weighing
Static electricity problem: Very small static electricity will cause materials to adhere to the weighing pan and cause inaccurate measurement.
Anping suggested: Install a static eliminator on the wall of the isolation box.
Pill or capsule packaging, medicine filling
Static problem one: Static electricity generated upstream of the filling position often causes the tablet to bounce from the groove of the blister of the cover plate.
Anping suggested that an ion rod static eliminator be installed at the end of the tablet transfer tank.
Static problem two: The brush is used to correct the static electricity generated in the process of the tablet.
Anping suggested: Install an ion rod static eliminator just where the blister left the brush.
Static problem three: Before the filling process, there is a large amount of static electricity at the exit position of the blister thermoforming to attract dust.
Anping suggested: Install a static eliminator before filling.
Static problem 4: Due to the static electricity, the tablets will be attracted to different positions on the production line.
Anping suggested that installing a small ion rod static eliminator above the feeder or installing at the entrance of the chute can solve the problems of tablet transfer, adhesion and blockage.
If you have static problems, Anping Static can provide you with a complete set of static diagnosis + elimination proposals.
1, first help you determine where there is static electricity, or the amount of static electricity at a specified location
2. Select the appropriate product test according to your production process, equipment space structure, static elimination range, and static elimination requirements
3. Submit a complete static report after diagnosis and testing
4. Propose reasonable suggestions for using and installing static eliminator
5. Provide you with detailed static training and lectures
