CAPSULE MAKING MACHINE HAVING IMPROVED PIN BARS AND AIR FLOW CHARACTERISTICS

摘要

A capsule making machine includes a pin bar having a set of passageways disposed so as to allow free passage of fluid through a base. In another aspect of the present invention, a hood having a substantially triangula r side view shape is disposed within the capsule hardening station for dispersing fluid upon the pin bars to promote hardening of the capsules. Another aspect of the present invention provides specific heating temperature ranges within predetermined section of the capsule hardening station. Methods of constructing a pin bar and for operating a capsule making machine are also provided within the present invention.
