PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tablet transportation guide and method therefor that efficiently remove fine powder sticking to tablets while accurately guiding them in the regular direction during their transportation process.SOLUTION: The transportation guide method is principally characterized by the operation to suck and remove fine powder sticking to tablets while guiding them, so as to promote their fast feeding, in their transportation process. Main characteristics to the transportation guide are that the transportation guide is provided with a guide roller circumferentially having many suction holes on its longitudinal surface at least in part, and a suction case installed in the way that all these suction holes can mutually communicate with others, that at least the guide rollers suction holes come into contact with the tablets being transported and that the guide roller is used in the state of rotating in the tablet transportation direction.COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT【課題】搬送の過程において錠剤を順方向へ確実にガイドしながら当該錠剤に付着している微粉を効率的に除去する錠剤の搬送ガイド方法及び搬送ガイドを提供すること。【解決手段】搬送ガイド方法は、錠剤を搬送する過程において、錠剤を早送り状にガイドしながら錠剤に付着している微紛を吸引除去することを最も主要な特徴とする。搬送ガイドは、少なくとも長さ方向の一部へ周方向に沿って多数の吸引孔が形成されたガイドローラと、当該ガイドローラの吸引孔が連通する状態に設けられた吸引ケースとを備え、少なくとも前記ガイドローラの吸引孔形成部分が搬送中の錠剤へ接触し、かつ当該ガイドローラが前記錠剤の搬送方向に沿って回転する状態で使用されることを最も主要な特徴とする。【選択図】 図1
