Description
The DZM-5 Mini Herbal Pill Making Machine takes strong points from many automatic pill machines. It is made for medicine and food factories. It works with high accuracy, makes pills of the same size, dissolves fast, pushes materials out smoothly, leaves no leftover powder, runs steadily, is easy to use and almost never breaks down.
Material and Safety
All parts that touch raw powder are made of 304 stainless steel. Workers can take them apart and clean them completely. Different kinds of medicine will not mix and pollute each other during production.
Pill Sizes
The machine comes with a standard 5mm roller. You can also buy extra rollers of 3mm, 4mm, 6mm, 7mm or 8mm. You may pick different sizes to fit your production or medical use.
Production Data
It makes 5 to 15 kilograms of pills every hour. Total power is 1.5 kW. Working voltage is 220V, frequency is 50Hz, and rated power is 0.65kW. The whole machine weighs 75kg. Its outer size is 550 × 450 × 570 mm.
Simple Operation
One worker can control several machines at the same time, so you spend less money on workers.

Operation Steps
- Pour well-mixed herbal powder into the feeding bucket.
- Turn on the machine. It pushes powder into long strips and rolls the strips into pills automatically.
- Turn the frequency control knob to match the speed of pushing powder and rolling pills.
- Finished pills fall out automatically.
- After work, take apart all powder-touching parts and clean them fully.
Tips for Herbal Powder
- Sticky powder: Add warm water to mix.
- Dry powder with no stickiness: Add boiled corn starch or tapioca starch.
- Good powder state: It sticks into a ball when you squeeze lightly, and breaks apart easily when you press hard.
- Pills cannot form well if powder is too sticky, too dry, or mixed with too much or too little water.

Structure Features and Working Principles
Structure Features
- This Mini Automatic Pill Making Machine finishes strip-pressing and pill-rolling in one unit. The strip-pressing part sits on the top left of rolling rollers. The whole structure is simple, easy to clean and fix
- A gear reduction motor pushes powder out smoothly. The rolling parts are placed inside a box gearbox with well-oiled shafts. Separate motors drive the powder-pushing and pill-rolling parts.
- A screw pushes raw materials, and a rotating pressing plate presses powder into solid strips. A pair of rotating, moving cutting knives with half-round grooves cut strips into round pills.
- You can turn a control knob to change the knife speed from 0 to 50 RPM to fit the speed of powder pushing.
- Knife surfaces are covered with Teflon coating, and small brushes are set next to knives to stop powder from sticking. Key parts including screws, pressing plates, molds, cutting knives and brushes can be taken apart and cleaned quickly.
- The machine has a compact body, makes low noise, works fast and needs only a few workers.
Detailed Working Principle
Full Working Flow
- Put well-mixed medicine powder into the feeding bucket. The machine automatically squeezes powder into even strips and sends strips straight to rolling cutters. Pills form right away. You do not need workers to carry strips or lift materials with extra machines.
- This machine uses a bionic rolling method. Rolling cutters copy the way people roll pills by hand. Multi-directional force shapes materials into smooth, round pills of equal size with nice looks. No broken or wasted pills are made in the whole process.
Variable Frequency Speed Control System
- The frequency control system lets workers adjust rolling speed accurately to match the powder-pushing speed. The two speeds work together perfectly. Even if the water content of powder changes a little, pills still keep stable good shapes.


Test Video
Before we send every batch of machines to buyers, we record full installation and function test videos following standard demo rules. We simulate real factory working situations, including stripping work and the full material separating process. We test core performance data such as position accuracy, stable running state and material protection effect with real measurements. These strict tests make sure every delivered machine meets quality standards and works well for buyers.
