HARD CAPSULE HAVING IMPROVED HARDNESS, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME
The present invention addresses the problem of improving the hardness of the capsule coating of a hard capsule. According to the present invention, the hardness of the capsule coating of a hard capsule is improved by adding to a hard capsule coating a starch hydrolysate and/or at least one kind of clay mineral selected from the group consisting of talc, bentonite and kaolin.
This pharmaceutical product conveying device is equipped with a direction restriction drum 20, which conveys a pharmaceutical product F received in an upright position and delivers the pharmaceutical product F in a fallen position. The direction restriction drum 20 is equipped with a plurality of upright position holding portions 22 that hold the pharmaceutical product F in the upright position and a plurality of fallen position holding portions 23 that are adjacent to the downstream side of the upright position holding portions 22 in the conveying direction, and hold the pharmaceutical product in the fallen position. The pharmaceutical product conveying device is also equipped with a suction means 40 having an orientation change nozzle 41, which sucks the pharmaceutical product F held by the upright position holding portions 22 and moves the pharmaceutical product to the fallen position holding portions 23 during the rotation of the direction restriction drum 20.
