A capsule sealing apparatus.

摘要

A capsule sealing apparatus is provided which includes a capsule supplying device (20), a slat (31), a capsule conveyor unit (30), a capsule sealing device (40), a plurality of capsule retaining plates (51), a drying device (50) and a capsule discharging device (60). The capsule supplying device (20) intermittently supplies a prescribed number of capsules (10) at a time. The slat (31) includes a plurality of capsule resting slits (31a) for individually accommodating the capsules (10). The capsule conveyor unit (30) linearly reciprocates the slat (31), during which the capsules (10) are individually accommodated in respective capsule resting slits (31a). The capsule sealing device (40) coats the seams of the capsules (10) with a sealing liquid (41) through the openings at the bottoms of the slits (31a) in the slat (31). The capsule retaining plates (51) receives all the capsules (10) thereon. The drying device (50) vertically circulates the capsule retaining plate (51) with the charged capsules (10) thereon in the horizontal posture so as to dry the sealing liquid (41) applied on each capsule (10). The capsule discharging device (60) discharges the capsules (10) outside the drying device (50). <IMAGE>
