In the drug production, the box is an indispensable part, but China's early drug production box mainly used manual box, and later with the development of production and technological progress, gradually adopt mechanical makeup box, such as automatic box filling machine, can be the medicine bottle, medicine board, ointment and other instructions into the folding carton, and complete the cover box action, Some of the more functional automatic packing machines also have additional functions such as sealing labels or heat shrink wrapping.

After the reform and opening up, the relevant technology in the field of drug production in China has been rapid development, drug packaging materials and drug box processing and production have made significant progress, automatic packing machine through packaging technology for finished or semi-finished drugs for sealing, loading, labeling and other operations, to provide quality assurance for drugs, play a protective role, application and commodity publicity, Automatic packing machine is also widely used.

Especially in recent years, China's pharmaceutical industry continues to develop and grow, the types of drugs continue to increase, drug dosage forms continue to enrich, the major manufacturing enterprises on the quality requirements are also constantly improving, which put forward higher requirements for drug packaging, a variety of multi-functional automatic packaging machine gradually by the drug manufacturing enterprises and other packaging machine comparison, pharmaceutical packaging machine need to insert drugs used. In general, the automatic packing machine can be used alone, and can also be connected with packaging machines and other equipment to form a production line.

At present, the variety of packing machines on the market is rich and diverse, and the function is also different. According to the different packaging materials, it can be divided into blister plate needle dosage type and ointment type box filling machine. In addition, according to the different models, the box filling machine can be divided into semi-automatic box filling machine and automatic box filling machine, and according to the production requirements, choose continuous or intermittent box filling method, each model has its own advantages, the use is not consistent.

In general, there are many kinds of automatic drug packing machines in China, and the number is complete, which can basically meet the pharmaceutical packaging needs of different dosage forms produced by domestic pharmaceutical manufacturers. However, many large-scale drug manufacturers still use imported packing machines, because some domestic automatic packing machines can not meet the needs of drug manufacturers in terms of functions. In addition to some professional packaging machine manufacturers, some scientific research institutions are also involved in the production of automatic packaging machines, and are committed to driving breakthroughs in domestic packaging machines.

It is undeniable that the emergence of automatic packing machine, not only improves the production efficiency of drug manufacturers, reduces production costs, but also greatly improves the quality of products, I believe that with the progress of domestic drug automatic packing machine technology, there will be a major breakthrough in research and development and production, will be applied by more and more enterprises.
