目前各中药切制厂常用的切药机为二种:一种是“转盘机”,适用于切块茎、颗粒类的药物;另一种就是“剁刀式切药机”又名“烟丝机”,以前是香烟厂切烟丝所用,后来被药材公司用来切全草、茎叶类或长条状的药物。二者各有所长。一般说来烟丝机切药产量高、片型好,但劳动强度大,碰到有些药物如地力梗、凤尾草、谷精草、桑皮之类软中带滑、纤维性强的药材,往往用尽全身之力也推不动、切不好。为了减轻切制工人的劳动强度,进一步提高切制产量和质量, At present, there are two kinds of cutting machines commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine cutting factories: one is a “rotary table machine”, which is suitable for cutting tubers and granular medicines; the other is “a sickle-type cutting machine” also known as a tobacco cutting machine. “It used to be cut tobacco from cigarette factories. It was later used by herbal companies to cut all kinds of grass, stems and leaves or strips of medicine.” Both have their own strengths.

Some drugs, such as terrestrial stems, phoenix grass, ginseng grass, mulberry, and other soft and slippery, highly fibrous medicinal materials, are encountered. Often the power of the whole body can’t be pushed or cut. In order to reduce the labor intensity of cut-out workers and further increase production and quality,
