The traditional Chinese medicine industry is facing a "big test", and the pharmaceutical equipment enterprises should pay attention to these problems

[industry trends of China Pharmaceutical network] there was a notice that Chinese herbal injections were required to modify the instruction manual before, and then there was a centralized treatment of Chinese herbal pieces The second half of the year will be full of "variables" for traditional Chinese medicine enterprises In response to the storm, many traditional Chinese medicine enterprises have launched self-examination work, including the quality of traditional Chinese medicine, production process, pharmaceutical equipment and end products The author understands that, affected by this, in terms of pharmaceutical equipment, traditional Chinese medicine enterprises will be comprehensively renovated The pharmaceutical equipment of traditional Chinese medicine is the key machine to produce the finished products of traditional Chinese medicine, which is related to the quality and efficacy of the finished products Under the background of the State Food and Drug Administration's large-scale inspection of the traditional Chinese medicine industry, the pharmaceutical equipment of traditional Chinese medicine will become one of the key factors affecting the subsequent survival and development of traditional Chinese medicine enterprises The author understands that in the production process of traditional Chinese medicine, the progress of equipment and technology of traditional Chinese medicine will greatly improve the production capacity and quality of traditional Chinese medicine Many pharmaceutical enterprises and pharmaceutical machinery enterprises are developing and innovating new pharmaceutical machinery in order to meet the industry standards and market demand Some insiders even said that with the birth of various advanced equipment and the innovation and research of new technology, the quality problems of traditional Chinese medicine may be alleviated to a certain extent However, according to the current production situation, some pharmaceutical enterprises also said: "although the technology of traditional Chinese medicine pharmaceutical equipment is becoming more and more advanced, many pharmaceutical machinery enterprises are also helping us improve production quality, reduce human intervention and reduce production costs through advanced technology, but there are still some problems to be solved." Taking traditional Chinese medicine preparation as an example, combined with the equipment operation experience of other pharmaceutical enterprises and medical personnel, pharmaceutical machinery enterprises need to pay attention to the following issues: for example, drying equipment of traditional Chinese medicine pills Due to the special situation of traditional Chinese medicine, the drying time of traditional Chinese medicine pills is long, the drying process is difficult to control, the equipment energy consumption is large, and the operation cycle is long Moreover, the drying cycle of some pills is up to 7-10 days, which is a big bottleneck for the increase of pill production Many pharmaceutical companies believe that a more advanced drying equipment is needed to solve these problems "Especially in the clean area, the temperature of the drying room is high, so it is difficult for us to control the temperature and humidity, which will have an important impact on the overall environment of the clean area, and will also challenge the operation of the air conditioning purification system In the long run, the quality of traditional Chinese medicine products will not be effectively guaranteed " Said the head of the production department of a Chinese medicine enterprise For example, traditional Chinese medicine freeze-drying equipment At present, some Chinese herbal extracts have been treated by freeze-drying machine, which is a relatively advanced treatment technology However, some pharmaceutical companies have reflected that: "there is a relatively obvious problem when using freeze-drying machine to treat the medicinal materials Compared with vacuum drying, microwave drying and other technologies, when using freeze-drying technology for freeze-drying, microorganisms tend to exceed the standard." This is also a quality problem of traditional Chinese medicine products " The author has learned that the control of the clean area in the traditional Chinese medicine extraction and receiving room is generally level D if the quality risk awareness of the traditional Chinese medicine production personnel is low and the operation habit is not as good as that of the injection workshop personnel, the situation of microorganism exceeding the standard will occur frequently Therefore, in order to ensure product quality, pharmaceutical machinery enterprises pay more attention to the online cleaning and sterilization design of lyophilizer Another example is the pre-treatment equipment of traditional Chinese medicine The problem of dust removal in the pretreatment equipment of traditional Chinese medicine is a long-standing problem in the production of pharmaceutical enterprises Generally speaking, the pre-treatment of traditional Chinese medicine requires crushing, cutting and other processing of the purchased materials, and requires the use of medicine cutter, crushing equipment and so on "When using these traditional Chinese medicine pharmaceutical equipment for production, there is a prominent problem that the dust production will be very large." A staff member of a traditional Chinese medicine enterprise said that in the production workshops of some pharmaceutical enterprises, due to the poor conditions, the equipment is not advanced, it is difficult to ensure the clean state of the production site, the traditional Chinese medicine will also be scattered on the ground, not only does not meet the GMP requirements, but also has an impact on the quality of traditional Chinese medicine The staff said that if the pharmaceutical machinery enterprises can properly solve the problem of dust removal in the pretreatment of traditional Chinese medicine and the problem of material collection, the equipment will be welcomed by the market, and the traditional Chinese medicine products will become more high-quality and effective For traditional Chinese medicine enterprises, this is of great significance under the background of the relevant departments of the state to carry out a major renovation of the traditional Chinese medicine industry So it seems that with the development of the inspection work of the relevant departments, more and more traditional Chinese medicine enterprises also attach great importance to the improvement and development of traditional Chinese medicine pharmaceutical equipment In order to reduce the burden of production and improve the quality of traditional Chinese medicine products, pharmaceutical machinery enterprises need to further develop equipment and technology, and constantly improve and improve the performance of equipment, so as to provide a more ideal production environment for traditional Chinese medicine enterprises.
