Description

Einbauten in eine Vorrichtung zum Lackieren von stückigen ProduktenInstallation in a device for painting lumpy products

Die Erfindung betrifft Einbauten in eine Vorrichtung zum Lackieren von stückigen Produkten, insbesondere von festen Arzneiformen (z.B. Dragees, Tabletten oderThe invention relates to installations in a device for painting lumpy products, in particular solid dosage forms (e.g. coated tablets, tablets or

Pellets).Pellets).

Übliche Vorrichtungen zum Lackieren von stückigen Produkten, auch Trommel- coater genannt, umfassen eine drehbar gelagerte Trommel mit Mitteln zum Einblasen von Luft in den Innenbereich der Trommel und Mitteln zum Absaugen der Luft aus dem Innenbereich der Trommel. Im Innenbereich der Trommel befinden sich Düsen, die das Mischgut (z.B. feste Arzneiformen) besprühen. Häufig sind diese Düsen in der Drehachse der Trommel angeordnet und sprühen radial nach außen. Eine solche Vorrichtung ist zum Beispiel in EP 0 545 044 A2 offenbart.Conventional devices for painting lumpy products, also called drum coaters, comprise a rotatably mounted drum with means for blowing air into the interior of the drum and means for extracting air from the interior of the drum. In the interior of the drum there are nozzles that spray the mix (e.g. solid dosage forms). Often these nozzles are arranged in the axis of rotation of the drum and spray radially outwards. Such a device is disclosed for example in EP 0 545 044 A2.

Um eine gleichmäßige Lackierung des in der Trommel befindlichen Mischgutes zu gewährleisten, muss dieses während des Besprühens gleichmäßig durchmischt werden. Die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Trommeln weisen hierzu Einbauten auf, die innen an der rotierbaren Trommelwand angeordnet sind. Aus EP 0 545 044 A2 ist bekannt die Abluftkanäle so zu gestalten, dass sie gleichzeitig denIn order to ensure a uniform coating of the mix in the drum, it must be mixed evenly during spraying. For this purpose, the drums known from the prior art have internals which are arranged on the inside of the rotatable drum wall. From EP 0 545 044 A2 it is known to design the exhaust air ducts in such a way that they simultaneously

Zweck von Einbauten für die gute Durchmischung des Mischgutes erfüllen. Die aus EP 0 545 044 A2 bekannten Abluftkanäle haben einen viereckigen, dreieckigen oder mehreckigen Querschnitt. Sie werden bevorzugt als Schikane im Fischgrätenmuster, also schräg zur Laufrichtung der Trommelwand angeordnet.Meet the purpose of internals for the thorough mixing of the mix. The exhaust air ducts known from EP 0 545 044 A2 have a square, triangular or polygonal cross section. They are preferably arranged as a chicane in a herringbone pattern, i.e. at an angle to the running direction of the drum wall.

Üblicherweise ragen die Einbauten zur Durchmischung des Mischgutes je nach Trommeldurchmesser und Menge an Mischgut 50 bis 300 mm radial von der Trommelinnenwand in den Trommelinnenraum. Sie werden schräg bezüglich der Drehachse der Trommel angeordnet z.B. im Fischgrätenmuster, um eine Querdurch- mischung des stückigen Mischgutes zu erreichen. Die Höhe der Einbauten wird zwischen 50 bis 300 mm gewählt, um eine starke Zwangsdurchmischung insbesondere in horizontaler Richtung zu erreichen.Depending on the drum diameter and the amount of material to be mixed, the internals for mixing the material usually protrude radially from the inner wall of the drum into the interior of the drum. They are arranged obliquely with respect to the axis of rotation of the drum, for example in a herringbone pattern, in order to achieve transverse mixing of the lumpy mix. The height of the internals will chosen between 50 to 300 mm in order to achieve a strong forced mixing, especially in the horizontal direction.

Der Nachteil der bekannten Einbauten besteht darin, dass es durch die enorme Höhe der Einbauten im Verhältnis zur Größe der stückigen Produkte zu einer sehr starkenThe disadvantage of the known internals is that due to the enormous height of the internals in relation to the size of the lumpy products it becomes a very strong one

Bettbewegung und damit Reibung im Mischguts kommt, die zu Beschädigungen der Produkte führen kann. Durch die starke Bettbewegung ändert sich auch der Abstand zwischen den stückigen Produkten und den Sprühdüsen ständig, was zu einer ungleichmäßigen Lackierang führen kann. Hinter den hohen Einbauten bilden sich jeweils Ruhezonen, was zu einer unzureichenden Trocknung und zu einem Zusammenkleben der lackierten Produkte (Zwillingsbildung) führen kann. An anderen Stellen des Mischbettes kommt es wiederum zu starker Turbulenz, so dass einzelne stückige Produkte springen und beim Zusammenprall mit anderen stückigen Produkten beschädigt werden können. Insbesondere springen sie über die hohen Einbauten, wenn die Trommelwand sich soweit gedreht hat, dass die Schwerkraft zu hoch wird und schlagen dann hinter den Einbauten auf die Trommelwand auf. Dies führt zu einer extrem hohen Belastung der Produkte und zu Produktbrach oder Absplitterungen. Insbesondere Oblong- Arzneiformen sind anfällig für Beschädigungen.Bed movement and thus friction in the mix comes, which can damage the products. Due to the strong bed movement, the distance between the lumpy products and the spray nozzles is constantly changing, which can lead to uneven painting. Quiet zones form behind the high internals, which can lead to inadequate drying and sticking of the painted products (twin formation). At other points in the mixed bed, there is again strong turbulence, so that individual lumpy products can jump and be damaged when they collide with other lumpy products. In particular, they jump over the high internals when the drum wall has turned so far that gravity becomes too high and then hit the drum wall behind the internals. This leads to an extremely high load on the products and to product breakage or chipping. Oblong dosage forms in particular are susceptible to damage.

Nach dem Stand der Technik werden für verschiedene Trommelgrößen und Mischgutmengen unterschiedlich hohe Einbauten verwendet, was zusätzlichen Aufwand beim Wechsel der Mischgutmenge und die Bereitstellung unterschiedlich dimensionierter Einbauten erfordert.According to the state of the art, internals of different heights are used for different drum sizes and quantities of mix, which requires additional effort when changing the quantity of mix and the provision of internally dimensioned internals.

Die erfindungsgemäße Aufgabe besteht deshalb darin, Einbauten für eine Vorrichtungen zum Lackieren von stückigen Produkten zu konzipieren, die einerseits eine gute Durchmischung und gleichmäßige Lackierung des Mischgutes gewährleisten und andererseits produktschonend sind.The object of the invention is therefore to design internals for a device for painting lumpy products which, on the one hand, ensure good mixing and uniform painting of the material to be mixed and, on the other hand, are gentle on the product.

Die Lösung der erfindungsgemäßen Aufgabe besteht in Einbauten an der Trommelinnenwand, die parallel oder höchstens in einem Winkel von 20°, bevorzugt von höchstens 10° zur Trommeldrehachse angeordnet sind und eine Höhe haben, die ein bis zwei Produktlagen der stückigen Produkte, z.B. Tablettenlagen, entspricht und bevorzugt im Bereich von 5 bis 40 mm, besonders bevorzugt im Bereich von 7 bis 15 mm liegt. Die Höhe ist unabhängig vom Trommeldurchmesser und bleibt auch für jede Mischgutmenge konstant.The solution to the problem according to the invention consists of internals on the inside wall of the drum which are parallel or at most at an angle of 20 °, preferably of are arranged at most 10 ° to the drum axis of rotation and have a height which corresponds to one or two product layers of the lumpy products, for example tablet layers, and is preferably in the range from 5 to 40 mm, particularly preferably in the range from 7 to 15 mm. The height is independent of the drum diameter and remains constant for every mix quantity.

Die Einbauten können beispielsweise ein dreieckiges, rechteckiges, halbrundes oder halbkegelschnittformiges Profil haben. Die Einbauten haben eine mittlere Breite im Bereich von 5 bis 40 mm, bevorzugt im Bereich von 10 bis 20 mm.The internals can have, for example, a triangular, rectangular, semicircular or semi-conical profile. The internals have an average width in the range from 5 to 40 mm, preferably in the range from 10 to 20 mm.

In einer Trommel befinden sich mindestens drei Einbauten. Bevorzugt haben die Einbauten auf der Trommelinnenwand einen Abstand voneinander im Bereich von 100 bis 200 mm.There are at least three internals in a drum. The internals on the inside wall of the drum are preferably at a distance from one another in the range from 100 to 200 mm.

Die Einbauten können auch zu Reinigungszwecken perforiert sein.The internals can also be perforated for cleaning purposes.

Der Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ist, dass während der Lackierung ein sehr ruhiges und gleichmäßiges Tablettenbett entsteht. Das Mischgut ist in allen Bereichen ständig in Bewegung, so dass eine Zwillingsbildung vermieden wird. Auf- schlagen auf den Trommelboden findet wegen der geringen Höhe der Einbauten nicht statt. Neben der geringen Höhe der Einbauten verhindern auch die Einbauten mit halbrunden oder halbkegelschnittförmigem Profil Beschädigungen der unteren Produktlage, wenn das Mischgut aufgrund der Schwerkraft über die Einbauten rutscht.The advantage of the device according to the invention is that a very calm and uniform tablet bed is produced during the coating process. The mix is constantly in motion in all areas so that twin formation is avoided. It does not hit the drum base due to the low height of the internals. In addition to the low height of the internals, the internals with a semicircular or semi-conical profile prevent damage to the lower product layer if the mix slides over the internals due to gravity.

Das Lackierergebnis insbesondere empfindlicher Tablettenformen kann wesentlich verbessert werden. Die Tabletten werden deutlich weniger beschädigt und gleichmäßiger lackiert.The coating result, particularly of sensitive tablet shapes, can be significantly improved. The tablets are significantly less damaged and coated more evenly.

Die Vorrichtung zum Lackieren von Tabletten mit den erfindungsgemäßen Einbauten führt entgegen der allgemeinen Annahme trotz der niedrigen Einbauten zu einer guten Längs- und Querdurchmischung des Mischbettes. Die Durchmischung sowohl in horizontaler als auch in vertikaler Richtung ist vergleichbar mit herkömmlichen Einbauten. Contrary to the general assumption, the device for coating tablets with the internals according to the invention leads to one despite the low internals good longitudinal and transverse mixing of the mixed bed. Mixing in both the horizontal and vertical directions is comparable to conventional internals.
