The Correct Way to Use Chinese Medicine Slice Machine

1. About the traditional Chinese medicine slice machine

The traditional Chinese medicine slice machine is a kind of equipment that uses the principle of blade cutting to cut materials into slices. The machine is composed of a rack, a motor, a blade, a rotary table, and a pill thickness adjustment device, etc. The materials are placed in the feeding port and mounted on the rotary table. The blade that rotates at a constant speed continuously cuts and materials are cut into slices. Chinese medicine slice machine is mainly used in pharmacies, clinics, homes, etc., and in small and medium-sized pharmaceutical factories and food factories, and other industries. So what is the correct way to use the traditional Chinese medicine slice machine?

2. How to use the Chinese medicine slice machine correctly?

Chinese medicine slice machine is currently a kind of advanced pharmaceutical processing equipment, which plays a vital role in the pharmaceutical industry. As long as the traditional Chinese medicine slice machine is used correctly, the machine can maintain a good condition no matter it is at work or in idle time. The correct use of the Chinese medicine slice machine is as follows:

(1) Install the blade, open the hopper cover, remove the blade pressing plate, place the blade inclined to face up on the blade installation plane. And install the blade pressing block and the gland nut, turn the rotary table to make the push block at the cutting edge, move the blade, and keep the blade close to the push block of the rotary table. The smaller the gap, the better, but the contact is forbidden, so as not to wear the blade when the rotary table rotates. Then tighten the compression nut, and then turn the rotary table by hand for several rounds.

(2) After the adjustment, turn the adjusting nut of the movable outer ring to make the movable outer ring to the proper position, put in a small number of medicinal materials for trial cutting, and continue to rotate the adjusting nut of the movable outer ring in the running state until it meets the requirements.

(3) Sharpen the knife. To improve the efficiency of the traditional Chinese medicine slice machine, sharpening the knife every half a day is necessary. The newly sharpened blade should ensure that the bottom surface of the blade is flat and the cutting edge is straight and perpendicular to the side of the blade. It is recommended to further grind the sharpened blade with an oil stone or finer grinding wheel to improve the surface roughness of the blade, reduce the damage to the material, and increase the yield of the finished product.

(4) To clean the traditional Chinese medicine slice machine, start the motor and add a small amount of water to the feeding port to clean the rotary table and outer ring. When cutting viscous medicinal materials, the machine will make an abnormal noise. Just add a small amount of clean water, and wipe the water dry with a cotton cloth after washing.

(5) It is forbidden to put hard objects such as stones and iron blocks or soft objects such as cotton yarn and cloth into the rotary table of the traditional Chinese medicine slice machine to avoid damage to the blade or machine, or jamming the rotary table.
