Against the background of refined development of the pharmaceutical industry, precision, efficiency and compliance in API packaging have become core concerns for pharmaceutical enterprises. As a powerful original manufacturer focusing on R&D and production of automated packaging equipment, Guangzhou Marchi Packaging Equipment Co., Ltd. and Hefei Marchi Packaging Equipment Co., Ltd., drawing on years of technical accumulation, have launched the MC‑DLLB‑100L series pharmaceutical API packaging machine. It delivers reliable packaging performance for APIs such as taurine, nifedipine, glimepiride, Vitamin E, lipoic acid, carvedilol, nimodipine, Vitamin B6, bronopol, guaiacol, sulbactam acid, tryptophan, guanidine thiocyanate, sodium salicylate, L‑phenylalanine, cilostazol, as well as bulk APIs including amoxicillin, cephalosporin, ibuprofen and paracetamol. Marchi keeps providing professional packaging equipment and services for the pharmaceutical industry.
Core Equipment Advantages: Precision, Cleanliness and Stability
Adopting bottom‑filling technology, the MC‑DLLB‑100L pharmaceutical API packaging machine fills materials from the bottom with low drop height and zero dust emission. It is especially suitable for powder and small‑granule materials requiring high packaging precision and featuring uneven density. Its core advantages are as follows:
The full‑stainless‑steel structure is equipped with modular or open transparent material hoppers for tool‑free convenient disassembly and cleaning. Pneumatic bag‑clamping devices and supports are mounted on load cells to perform fast and slow filling according to preset weights. A high‑response weighing system guarantees high precision. PLC control together with touch‑screen HMI enables easy operation. Adjustment parameter recipes for various products can be stored for later use, supporting storage of up to 10 recipes. The packaging weight ranges from 5 kg to 25 kg, packaging accuracy reaches ±0.1‑0.5 %, and packaging speed stands at 1‑4 bags per minute. Power supply: 3P AC 208‑415V 50/60Hz; total power: 2.87 kW; overall machine weight: 450 kg.
Coverage of Diverse Application Scenarios
The MC‑DLLB‑100L series equipment is widely applied in the pharmaceutical sector. In R&D links of innovative pharmaceutical enterprises, its packaging speed of 1‑4 bags per minute fits small‑batch test‑material packaging. For large‑scale production of generic drugs, stable performance and flexible packaging‑material compatibility satisfy special packaging requirements such as light‑proof and moisture‑proof demands. The equipment is also applicable to precision metering packaging of high‑value APIs, fully‑enclosed anti‑contamination packaging of sterile APIs, as well as formula‑switching production for small‑batch multi‑variety orders. It also shows excellent compatibility in fields of veterinary drug raw materials and chemical raw materials.
Full‑Process Automated Packaging Operation
The packaging workflow of the MC‑DLLB‑100L pharmaceutical API packaging machine covers the complete operation chain from material filling to finished‑product palletizing:
Step 1: Material conveying and precise metering. Materials are fed evenly into the weighing system via a single‑screw conveyor. The intelligent control system monitors and adjusts feeding volume in real‑time, and a dynamic weighing compensation system realizes three‑stage precise feeding — from high‑speed filling to low‑speed fine‑tuning to guarantee accurate weight of each bag of APIs.
Step 2: Bottom‑filling operation. Materials are filled into bags from the bottom with low drop height and no dust generation. Pneumatic bag‑clamping devices and supports hold packaging bags and automatically complete fast and slow filling according to preset weights.
Step 3: Sealing and finished‑product output. After metering and filling, sealing modes such as heat sealing and stitching are automatically selected according to packaging‑material properties. Weight traceability data is generated upon finished‑product output to facilitate full‑process quality control.
Step 4: Automatic palletizing. Sealed finished bags are conveyed by conveyor belts to the palletizing station, where palletizing manipulators automatically grab, arrange and stack bags onto pallets, finishing end‑of‑line operations of the whole packaging production line and realizing full‑process automated connection from raw‑material feeding to finished‑goods palletizing.
Customer Pain Points and Systematic Solutions
Targeting common pain points faced by pharmaceutical enterprises in API packaging, Marchi provides the following systematic solutions:
Pain Point 1: Difficult dust control. API powder tends to produce dust during packaging, impairing production environment and operators’ health.
Solution: The MC‑DLLB‑100L adopts bottom‑filling and fully‑enclosed design, cooperating with vacuum systems to collect dust effectively and improve working conditions.
Pain Point 2: Concerns over metering accuracy. High‑value APIs suffer direct economic losses caused by metering deviation.
Solution: High‑precision load cells work together with servo‑driven screw feeding systems to achieve packaging accuracy of ±0.1‑0.5 % and ensure consistent weight of each bag.
Pain Point 3: Cleaning and disinfection requirements. The pharmaceutical industry imposes strict validation requirements for equipment cleaning.
Solution: Smooth flat surfaces facilitate cleaning; key components support tool‑free disassembly and washing; modular design enables quick disassembly.
Pain Point 4: Compliance risks. Equipment shall meet regulatory standards for the pharmaceutical industry.
Solution: Material‑contact parts are made of stainless steel to comply with GMP clean‑production standards; fully‑enclosed design reduces dust leakage.
Pain Point 5: Operation complexity and maintenance costs.
Solution: Graphical touch interface supports scanning‑code recall of commonly‑used parameters; 10‑recipe storage function simplifies material variety switching; 7×24‑hour remote diagnosis plus prompt on‑site service are available.
As a professional manufacturer of pharmaceutical API packaging machines, Guangzhou Marchi Packaging Equipment Co., Ltd. will continue to deepen its presence in the API packaging sector and deliver precise, efficient and compliant packaging solutions for pharmaceutical enterprises.
