DZM-5 Mini Herbal Pill Making Machine:
The DZM-5 Mini Herbal Pill Making Machine combines the advantages of multiple automatic pill machines. Designed for the pharmaceutical and food industries, it offers high precision, uniform pill size, fast disintegration, smooth extrusion, no material residue, stable transmission, easy operation, and extremely low failure rate.
Material & Safety: All parts in contact with the material are made of 304 stainless steel and are removable for thorough cleaning. No cross-contamination occurs when producing different formulations.
Pill Diameter: The machine comes standard with a 5mm roller. Optional rollers of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8mm allow customized pill sizes for production or patient use.
Production Capacity: 5–15 kg/h, with power of 1.5 kW, voltage 220V, frequency 50Hz, and a rated power of 0.65kW. Machine weight: 75kg; dimensions: 550 × 450 × 570 mm.
Ease of Operation: Single operator can manage multiple machines, saving labor.
How to Use (Operation Steps)
- Place prepared herbal powder into the feed hopper.
- Start the machine; material is extruded into rods and automatically rolled into pills.
- Adjust the variable frequency to match extrusion and rolling speeds.
- Pills are automatically discharged.
- After use, disassemble and clean all parts in contact with material.
Note on herbal powders:
- Sticky powders: add warm water.
- Non-sticky powders: add boiled corn starch or tapioca starch.
- Proper powder condition: forms a ball when squeezed lightly, crumbles easily when pressed.
- Pills may not form if powder is too sticky, completely non-sticky, or mixed too wet/dry.

Features and Specific Operating Principles of Pill Making Machines
Structure Features:
- Integrated extrusion and rolling; the extrusion unit is located above and to the left of the rolling rollers, making it simple, easy to clean, and maintain.
- Extrusion driven by a gear-reduction motor for smooth operation; rolling section is inside a box-type gearbox with lubricated shafts, each driven by separate motors.
- Material is extruded via a screw and compressed with a rotating pressure plate, forming rods that are cut into pills by a pair of rotating and reciprocating axis knives with semi-circular grooves.
- Axis knife speed adjustable via control knob (0–50 RPM) to match extrusion speed.
- Knife surfaces coated with Teflon and equipped with brushes to prevent material sticking.
- Key parts (screw, pressure plate, mold, axis knives, brushes) are easy to disassemble and clean.
- Compact, low-noise design; efficient operation with minimal labor.
Detailed Operating Principle
Operating Process:
- The prepared pharmaceutical material is fed into the hopper, where the machine automatically extrudes it into uniform strands and continuously transfers them to the pill-rolling cutters. Pills are formed directly without manual strand handling or mechanical lifting.
- Using a biomimetic pill-rolling principle, the rolling cutters simulate traditional hand-rolling techniques. Multi-directional forces are applied to the material, producing smooth, round pills with uniform size and excellent appearance. The entire process generates no waste pills.
Variable Frequency Speed Control:
- A variable frequency control system allows precise adjustment of the rolling speed to match the extrusion speed. This synchronization ensures stable forming quality regardless of material moisture variations.

Test video:
Prior to shipping each batch of equipment, we will concurrently record installation functionality verification videos adhering to the standards of the demonstration video on the left. By simulating typical operating conditions (including stripping operation and the entire material separation process), we will conduct actual measurements to validate core performance metrics such as positioning accuracy, operational stability, and material integrity protection. This ensures the delivered equipment meets quality compliance and functional effectiveness requirements.
