Tata sugar tablet candy tablet sugar is also called powdered sugar or tablet sugar, and is often called soda sugar. It takes refined sugar powder as the main body, adding fillers such as milk powder and spices and binders such as starch syrup, dextrin and gelatin, and the mixture formed by granulation and tabletting does not need to be heated and boiled, which is called cold working process.
The manufacturing mechanism of tabletted sugar is mainly the process of reducing the distance between particles or fine powder by pressure to produce enough cohesion and close combination.
mechanism
The manufacturing mechanism of tabletted sugar is mainly the process of reducing the distance between particles or fine powder by pressure to produce enough cohesion and close combination. The contact area between loose particles is very small and the distance is large, and there is only cohesion within particles, but there is no adhesion between particles. There are large gaps between particles, and the gaps are filled with air.
After pressurization, the particles slide and squeeze tightly, the distance and gap between the particles are gradually narrowed, the air is gradually exhausted, some particles or crystals are crushed, and the fragments are pressed and filled in the gaps. When the particles reach a certain pressure, the intermolecular attraction is enough to combine the particles into a whole sheet.
moisture
Moisture plays an important role in tablet molding. Completely dried particles are difficult to be pressed into tablets because of their large elasticity and small plasticity, but moisture can improve this situation, increase plasticity and decrease elasticity. Moisture has enough dipole moment, which may play a special role as a bridge between particles.
In order to ensure the cohesion between particles, when the pressure is applied, the capillary of particles is deformed, and water overflows from it, forming an extremely thin layer distributed among particles, and the intermolecular attraction is increased due to dipole action, and the particles are combined into pieces.
equipment
The main equipment for making sugar tablets are: pulverizer (hammer mill, chip high speed), mixer, granulator (swing type, rotary type), dryer (oven, fluidized bed, boiling dryer) or fluidized spray granulator with integrated granulation and drying, tablet press (Dan Chong, multi-impact rotary type). )
