METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRODUCING THIN WAFERS FROM A FILM OF ACTIVE INGREDIENTS

摘要

The invention relates to a method and a device for producing thin wafers from a film (2) of active ingredients, wherein said film is produced by casting the film material onto a support material or by coating; said film is stored on a roll with or without the support material, removed therefrom and cut. The aim of the invention is to produce predetermined sizes of wafers as accurately as possible. The film (2) of active ingredients is automatically removed, separated from an available support material, fed to a cutting station (5) in a tensed state and cut into narrow longitudinal strips (7) having a given width in the direction of advance. The longitudinal strips (7) are brought together in the direction of advance and fed to a cross-cutter (11) which cuts through the combined longitudinal strips (7) at predetermined distances.
