Dosing systems are a line of hoppers, feeders, filling machines, and checkweighers that operate in sync to dispense materials accurately. Dosing is an essential feature of the packaging process, whether you’re filling shampoo bottles or tea bags. But dosing equipment is critical for formulations, too, particularly in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Imprecise dosing may cause quality degradation in the best-case scenario. In the worst scenario, it creates serious health risks.

Dosing

The billions of microbes living in our gut have a significant impact on gastrointestinal health, mood, and behavior. Every individual develops their microbiome community. Probiotic processing technology makes sure that harmful bacteria never outnumber good citizens.

Probiotics

Powdered products are handled every day in the pharmaceutical and bioprocess industries and an efficient means of filling drums while maintaining containment is needed to ensure safe and profitable production processes. Experienced biopharmaceutical manufacturers know that equipment designed for general industry use often falls short and rigid containment and transfer solutions for the biotech industry are often awkward and inefficient.  Producers that embrace flexible solutions designed specifically for the challenges of our industry will find an advantage over competitors.


<h2>A disposable drum liner  for continuous production of powders</h2>
ILC Dover is an industry leader in contained material handling solutions for high-tech manufacturers and end users including NASA. For powder discharge into drums, the company has developed the Dover Pac system. The Dover Pac Continuous Liner is typically used to offload powders from vessels into drums for the pharmaceutical and bioprocess industries. The liners interface directly with existing process equipment including down-flow booths and isolators. The liners are continuous which both eliminates cross-contamination of powders, and enhances operation efficiency by eliminating the need for the operator to constantly place new liners over a discharge nozzle as with traditional drum liners. The liners are shipped in pack lengths of 15 M to 45 M with each standard drum using about 1.5 M of liner material. Drums are continuously filled until the liner pack is spent. Spent packs are easily replaced by an operator without breaking the containment of the powder. The continuous liners are available for use with 580mm, 355mm, or 200mm canisters with adapters available for interfaces to smaller canisters if required.

Juice production lines require multiple ingredients to be typically mixed with water. The incorporation of ingredients like juice powder, aroma and stabilizers can sometimes have an uneven mixture. It can also happen when mixing pulp, fruit pieces or suspended particles. To obtain even mixing and homogeneity of the finished syrup or juices, they need to be accurately processed and dosed.


<h2>Mixing and dosing powder and liquid ingredients in batch</h2>
The EASY.Core by A Due is a compact dosing system that consists of a double set of mixers and tanks. They can simultaneously or sequentially transfer each ingredient and mixing it to prepare for the finished syrup or finished drink. It can prepare several recipes at the same time and is able to dissolve powders or empty the liquid concentrates. This system provides total and accurate control of dosing and mixing of the ingredients through mass flow measuring instruments.

Chewable tablets are suitable for patients who have difficulty swallowing. Chewable tablet formulation masks the natural flavors of pharma drugs and alters their aftertaste. But besides the taste, chewable tablets favor the bioavailability of pharmaceutical ingredients.

Chewable tablets

The fizz of effervescent tablets is commonly associated with a vitamin C boost. But the soluble pill is an excellent drug delivery method for pediatric and geriatric patients. Sometimes referred to as carbon tablets, manufacturing effervescent tablets binds biocarbonate and citric acid that produce the smooth hiss as they dissolve in liquid.

Effervescent tablets

When taking a tablet, it is usually the job of our stomach to break down the medication to make it ready to be absorbed into the bloodstream. However, some drugs are not meant to be dissolved in the stomach because the acidic pH of the stomach can disintegrate the drug, making it no longer effective. Using tablet coating equipment that applies a polymer barrier to the tablet makes it possible to protect it from stomach acidity.

Enteric Coated Tablets

Microtablets range between 1 and 4 millimeters, making the dosage form an excellent delivery system in polypharmacy. The size of the products makes them easier pills to swallow, but microtablets production brings a unique set of complexities.

Microtablets

Multilayer tablets are a popular fixed-dose combination (FDC) offering a range of release profiles for effective drug delivery. Multilayer tablet technology solves challenges to API consistency, allowing manufacturers to develop formulations from incompatible ingredients while optimizing the release profile for immediate release and controlled release.

Multi-layer tablets

The two-piece capsule is a visual shorthand for all types of medical remedies. Advances in technology have made the production of hard-gelatin capsules a convenient delivery method for drugs and other ingested substances. But the simple solution requires micrometric precision to be manufactured to the proper pharmaceutical standards.

Hard gelatin capsules

Softgel capsules fast-track the delivery of medication to the bloodstream. Unlike solid pills, they do not need to be broken down by the body before the drugs can be absorbed. Moreover, they are optimal vehicles for oils and fat-soluble formulations that cannot be compressed into tablets.

Softgel capsules

The nonproprietary name for HPMC – hydroxypropyl methylcellulose – is such a mouthful that it has two abbreviations. Hypromellose is the other one. The non-ionized material offers a safe alternative to gelatin capsules, especially as most common API and excipients are suitable HPMC capsule ingredients.

What's new in pharmaceutical packaging?



During <a href="https://www.pharmapackeurope.com/en/home.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pharmapack</a>, we met Chantal Younes, Key Account Manager at <a href="https://www.csptechnologies.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aptar CSP Technology</a>, who introduced us to the world of active packaging.

The pharmaceutical industry is subject to strict regulations, so that's why manufacturers are very meticulous when formulating their products but especially about their packaging, which must keep their products safe. Due to the formulation or active ingredient, pharmaceutical products can present significant stability issues if they come in contact with moisture or oxygen.

This is where Aptar CSP Technology comes in. Aptar CSP Technology has developed several active packaging solutions to protect pharmaceutical products and ensure extended shelf life.

The company has developed a new class of highly engineered polymer compounds that protect drug products, probiotics, and drug delivery systems from impurities, oxygen, and moisture. The polymer can be extruded into a film, injection molded, or blow molded.

The most important part of a capsule is its contents. But if the shell is not carefully made, the dosage ingredients inside lose effectiveness. From molding to sizing, capsule manufacturing equipment forms perfectly-matching husks ready for filling. The simplicity of encapsulation revolutionized pharmaceuticals since it was introduced in the 19<sup>th</sup> century. However, capsules are changing to increase delivery efficiency and reduce the dependency on gelatin.

Capsules

Parenteral preparations refer to drugs using non-oral means of administration. Injectables, such as needles and syringes, are used to deliver a drug into the systemic circulation directly in the veins, muscles, under the skin, or in the tissue.

These parenteral formulations are pharmaceutical dosage forms that have strict regulations on being sterile, pyrogen-free, and free from visible particulate matter including reconstituted sterile powders. Solutions, suspensions, emulsions, and gels with APIs intended for administration by injection are usually supplied in vials, ampoules, pre-filled syringes, or pens to facilitate ease of use.

Injectables

<p class="filterable-grid__description">Liquid dosage forms are designed for easy absorption. The body quickly carries the active ingredients through the system and triggers the required response. But the greatest advantage of this medicinal type is its flexibility in formulation and dispensation. From lotions and syrups to drops and sprays, liquid solutions can be adapted to different administration routes including parenteral, topical, and oral. The fundamental liquid dosage manufacturing process involves dissolving or suspending solutes in a fluid. But that is not enough. A precise blend of excipients is needed to make the medicine go down.</p>

Liquid dosage forms

Pharmaceutical developments walk side by side with health advances to provide new medicines, treatments, and therapies that have increased life quality and extended life expectancy by years. Pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment helps deliver products to a great deal of the population, but there’s a significant share that doesn’t benefit from them yet. Over 2 billion people cannot get the medicines they need, according to the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, and local production might be a way to provide for these people.

Pharmaceuticals

Among all dosage forms in use today, tablets constitute the most common one. They are pharmaceutical solid dosage forms containing active ingredients and excipients such as diluents, binders, glidants, and lubricants. Using tablet making equipment, these solid dosage forms are made by compression of granules or powder blends and then shaped by molding.
