Medication packaging apparatus

摘要

A medication packaging apparatus for packaging solid medications is disclosed and includes a plurality of tablet cases which hold solid medications separately by type and a turntable which is located under the tablet cases onto which medications dispensed from the tablet cases fall and which are gathered by a guide around the circumference of the turntable by centrifugal force. The guide has a dispensing port through which the medications fall into small bags. A heat sealing mechanism forms the small bags in succession from a roll of thermally weldable packaging paper. The mechanism for collecting the medications which have been released from the tablet cases can be made thinner and an overall reduction in size of medication packaging apparatus is achieved.
