Abstract

A drying unit (30) of this tablet printing device is provided with: a blower fan (81) which forms a flow of a gas; heaters (82) for heating the gas; and a plurality of blow-out ports (31) through which the heated gas is blown out towards tablets. Each of the plurality of blow-out ports (31) is provided in a position facing the conveyed tablets (9). Accordingly, the heated gas can be prevented fromlaterally hitting the tablets (9) being conveyed. Therefore, the gas can be made to hit the tablets forcefully, while preventing the tablets (9) being conveyed from being blown off. As a result, inkadhered to the surfaces of the tablets (9) can be dried efficiently.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a drying unit for drying ink adhering to the surface of a tablet, a tablet printing apparatus having the drying unit, and a drying method. Background technique [0002] A character or a serial number for identifying a product is printed on the surface of a tablet which is one form of a drug. Such characters and numbers may be printed by engraving, but the engraving has a problem of low visibility. In particular, in recent years, the spread of generic drugs has led to the diversification of the types of tablets. Therefore, in order to easily identify the tablet, a technique of clearly printing the surface of the tablet by an inkjet method is attracting attention. [0003] In the inkjet tablet printing apparatus, ink droplets (hereinafter, simply referred to as “ink droplets”) are ejected from a plurality of nozzles onto the tablet while the tablet is being conveyed. Then, by drying the ink adhering to the surface of t...
