Product Introduction

Positioned as a core experimental equipment for R&D departments of daily chemical enterprises, university laboratories, and raw material suppliers, it highlights the core advantages of simple operation, stable operation, and compact portability. With a production speed of 25-35 pods per hour, it is suitable for making pods of all specifications from 3-30g, accurately replicating the forming and sealing processes of production-scale equipment. It helps users quickly verify the formulation feasibility, film compatibility, and product stability of laundry detergent pods and water-soluble film packaged products. The equipment power is only 0.8KW, compact and space-saving, and can be placed directly on a laboratory workbench. It is a cost-effective tool for product development in the early stages and pre-market sampling, laying a solid foundation for subsequent large-scale production.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the production speed of the TC-30S meet the needs of parallel R&D for multiple formulations?

Yes. Although the single-unit speed of the TC-30S is 25-35 pods/hour, the equipment supports 24-hour continuous operation, and the amount of raw material required for a single experiment is small (only a few tens of grams can complete a formulation verification). Parallel testing of multiple formulations can be carried out simultaneously. If R&D demands are high, multiple units can be run at the same time, flexibly adapting to different R&D paces, fully meeting the routine R&D and prototyping needs of daily chemical enterprises and laboratories.

Can the sample data produced by the TC-30S be directly used for setting parameters on production equipment?

Yes. The core processes of the TC-30S (filling accuracy, sealing temperature, forming principle) are completely homologous with the company's production equipment (TC-G360/TC-G530/TC-G660, etc.). Data such as formulation ratios, film specifications, and process parameters recorded during experiments can be directly used as core references for setting parameters on production equipment. Only minor adjustments based on the production capacity of the equipment are needed, significantly shortening the transition period from R&D to mass production and reducing trial production losses.

Does the equipment require professional operators?

No. The TC-30S is specially designed for laboratory scenarios with a very simple operation process. It features a one-touch start design, and core parameters (filling volume, sealing temperature) have preset basic values; R&D personnel only need to make simple adjustments as needed. The company also provides detailed operation manuals and video tutorials, along with one-on-one online guidance. Non-professionals can independently complete sample making after 10 minutes of training, without the need for additional equipment operators.

After purchasing the TC-30S, does the company provide installation, debugging, and operation training services?

Yes. The company provides free on-site installation and debugging services for the TC-30S (for domestic customers). Professional engineers will visit to install and debug the equipment to optimal operating condition and provide on-site operation guidance. For overseas customers, detailed installation video tutorials and multi-language online guidance are provided to ensure smooth commissioning. The company also offers lifetime free technical consultation to answer questions related to operation, maintenance, formulation adaptation, etc.

Is daily maintenance of the TC-30S complex? What are the core wear parts?

Daily maintenance of the equipment is very simple and requires no complex operations: ① After each experiment, clean the filling head and forming mold cavity with clean water to avoid residue; ② Apply special lubricating oil to transmission parts once a month; ③ Regularly check the integrity of the sealing ring. The core wear part is the sealing ring, which is a conventional component. The company maintains ample stock and can supply it at any time. The replacement process is simple and can be done by the user.
