Nutraceutical Packaging

When it comes to vegan alternative plant-based sources, we always think about replacing meat and dairy. But have you ever thought of replacing food additives such as gelatine, an animal-derived ingredient? Agar-agar is emerging as a seaweed-based alternative. The appeal of agar-agar is that it doesn't need to be refrigerated and can stay at room temperature; it is insoluble in cold water and dissolves well in liquids at over 90° Celsius. You find it in powder format for most industrial applications. But agar-agar processing also delivers flakes or threads for food production.

Agar-agar

Calcium carbonate makes up almost one-twentieth of the earth’s crust. But the abundant mineral is found in many living things, including the human body. However, processing calcium carbonate extracts the multi-purpose material from inorganic sediments, namely limestone, chalk, and marble.

Calcium carbonate

Gummies make everything more colorful. The squishy droplets make a tasty and practical carrier of special ingredients such as CBD oil. Chewing the gum increases the bioavailability of the substance as opposed to vaping. But before the cannabidiol can take effect, it must first be processed through a line of CBD gummy equipment.

CBD gummies

While still forbidden in many countries, there's plenty of room for the use of cannabidiol, or CBD. It’s the second most present active ingredient of the cannabis plant and, no, it won’t get anybody high. What it does, really, once it’s out of the CBD oil processing equipment, is to provide many well-being and health benefits. They go from treating depression and anxiety to relieving pain and unmanageable diseases' symptoms.

CBD oil

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

Around a third of your natural protein composition is collagen. But the human body still finds good use for more of it, whether to reinforce joints or aid digestion. Collagen powder processing breaks the chains of amino acids into smaller units, allowing them to be consumed at higher concentrations without changing your diet.

Collagen powder

Echinacea, also known as coneflowers, are brightly hued flowers with distinguished, cone-shaped flower heads. Over 200 medicines in the world are derived from coneflower extracts. Echinacea processing was introduced by Native Americans who were interested in the plant's medicinal qualities.

Echinacea extract

Elderberry falls squarely in the category of superfoods. Every part of the plant (flowers, berries, and bark) is loaded with vitamins, antioxidants, bioflavonoids, and other compounds. However, cyanide in the plant could be lethal if consumed raw, making elderberry extraction processing complex.

Elderberry extract

What’s the only living connection between our present world and the age of dinosaurs? The ginkgo biloba plant. Also known as the maidenhair tree, it is regarded as a living fossil and has been around for more than 200 million years. Ancient civilizations in China were already mastering ginkgo processing centuries ago and the tradition soon flourished around the world.

Ginkgo extract

Panax ginseng is a medicinal plant with a long history steeped in myth. The term “panax” itself is derived from a Greek word for “panacea” or “cure all”. As ginseng processing technology continues to develop, this famous traditional extract keeps finding new applications.

Ginseng extract

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

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.

HPMC capsules

Hyaluronic acid is a natural lubricant found in all mammals. An effective humectant, its molecules can hold a thousand times their weight in water. However, hyaluronic acid extraction is a complex biotechnological process that requires a specialized manufacturing technique.

Hyaluronic acid

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

Fish oil was a folk remedy long before scientists identified the nutritional value of essential fatty acids. But Omega 3 processing has come a long way since the days of raw fish parts fermenting in a barrel. In fact, new supplement formulations of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) may not use fish at all.

Omega 3 oil

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

It took the scientific community almost 70 years to agree on the name ‘protein’ and discard the popular alternative, proteid. But protein powder processing still needed another five decades to be commercialized in the 1950s. Once extraction and purification could be industrialized, protein powder soon became a basic staple supplement.

Protein powder

The cannabis industry is one of the fastest growing in the world with a revenue of $20.47 billion in 2020 which is expected to soar up to $197.74 billion in 2028. The famous cannabis substance that causes marijuana's psychological effects is THC and it was first isolated in 1964. There are two methods of extracting THC from cannabis: solvent-based and non-solvent extraction. Each technique requires different THC oil extraction equipment.

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient, but the human species lost the ability to produce it biologically during the course of evolution. Instead, we source the substance either from whole foods or vitamin C manufacturing. The chemical characteristics of the natural nutrient and processed compound are the same, but supplements offer higher concentrations, especially to persons with nutrient deficiencies.

Vitamin C

Chewy, sweet, and nutritious. Vitamin gummies were a couple’s attempt to get their child to take their essential micronutrients. The idea quickly caught on, and manufacturing vitamin gummies soon grew into a whole new industry.

Choosing a dessert is one of the great dilemmas. The decadent creations that satisfy our sweet tooth come in all tastes and consistencies. Fruit-based or dairy-based, baked or frozen, the possibilities are endless. Thankfully, dessert making equipment is less baffling. Ingredients are mixed, heated, formed, cooled, and packaged. But the process is carefully configured according to the parameters of each product.

Dessert

Basically, to make milk powder, you need to remove the water content from the liquid milk and turn it into powder. How to do it? After pasteurizing and homogenizing the milk, milk’s water content is removed through filtration, evaporation, and drying. You have then to cool and sieve it before filling the containers. Here's how you get milk powder.

Milk powder

Do you know that the famous classical music composer and pianist Ludwig van Beethoven insisted on drinking a cup of coffee made from exactly 60 pieces of coffee beans? Currently, around 50% of the world’s green coffee beans undergo processing through instant coffee manufacturing equipment to produce instant coffee. The process requires roasting, grinding, brewing, and heating to obtain the extract; the coffee extract will either go through a spray drying process or a freeze-drying process.

Instant coffee

Jelly gets its name from its primary ingredient – gelatin. Substances such as pectin and agar-agar offer vegan alternatives to the original animal extract. But there’s more to making jelly products than a semi-rigid, flexible ingredient. Jelly powders blend sugar, starch, and thickening agents to give body to the dessert. Last but not least, food colorants and flavorings bring the otherwise bland mass to life.

Jelly

Sugar is the fuel that drives photosynthesis in plants. The leafy organisms constantly convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose. But it takes manufacturers specialized sugar processing technology to extract the sweet crystals from them. Today, most sugar products are derived either from sugarcane or sugar beet.

Sugar

Instant soup is quite popular due to its ease of use and quick preparation. Products like cup noodles and vegetable soup mixes are some of the examples commonly used by consumers. The instant soup processing equipment is used to dehydrate or dry components of the soup mixture to prolong shelf life and preserve the taste of the vegetables and other components.

Our food chain starts in the soil, growing crops and livestock. But between the fields and the stores, there is a line of industrial food processing equipment. Processes may be as minimalistic as cleaning fruit and as complex as homogenizing milk alternatives made from pressed legumes. In each case, processing technology is an important link in the food production chain.

Eating is more than just nutrition, but we have found ways to increase the nourishing power of our foods. Nutraceuticals manufacturing, from vitamin C powder and probiotics to omega 3 oil, is a concentration of natural ingredients and health supplements that complement our diets. While dietary supplements are not quite haute cuisine, the process of extraction and purification is no less a blend of science and art.

Nutraceuticals

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

The building blocks of matter have driven the imagination of philosophers, scientists, and artists for millennia. But, for manufacturers, these elements have a more concrete existence as powders. Powder processing technology conditions these primary materials to create a vast range of products, from chemicals and foods to pharmaceuticals and ceramics.

Cartoning involves erecting a folded carton, filling it with the product, closing the flaps, or applying a lid and sealing with glue or adhesive tape. Choosing a cartoning solution involves, considering the type of primary packaging, the production volume, the size and count of the product in a carton, and the desired level of automation.

A pre-filled syringe or PFS is a single-dose disposable syringe that is supplied loaded with the substance to be injected. By using a pre-filled syringe filling machine, you can have excellent dosage accuracy due to the exact filling of medications. During administration, safety from potential contaminants is also ensured as they are directly injected after opening. To further minimize the risk of contamination, pre-filled syringes are often filled and sealed in a sterile environment using stainless steel equipment.

Pre-filled Syringes

Suppositories consist of active pharmaceutical ingredients encased in a non-active base material. The sustained release of medication makes suppositories a preferred option for the long-term treatment of chronic conditions like diabetes, anemia, and AIDS.

Suppositories

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

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

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

A dishwasher tablet is an essential detergent. It consists of a pressed mixture of sodium and potassium salts, surfactant, fragrance, and other filler agents, mixed with the help of tablet making machines. The products’ use in America and Europe is high, unlike in the Asian continent, where the price limits its usage. Its global market size will reach $990 million in 2026 from $475.6million in 2019, according to Grand View Research forecasts.

Dishwasher 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

The wave of liquid soaps and detergents in the 1950s revolutionized home and personal care. Cheap and convenient, these off-the-shelf products fit perfectly into the lifestyle of the time. A few decades later, though, plastic waste put the sustainability of hygiene products into question. Refill tablet production technology answers that by eliminating single-use plastic. Instead of picking up a new bottle every time, end-users complete the formulation process in a multi-use container and with a simple instruction: just add water.

Refill tablets

It is strange how two tablets can belong to the same but at the same time to a different category depending on how the tablet itself is classified. For example, chewable tablets and effervescent tablets have two different routes of administration but both belong to the category of uncoated tablets. Uncoated tablets are prepared by compression of granules in which no coating is added after compression. They may be single-layer or multi-layer tablets.

Uncoated tablets

There are slight differences between human and animal pharmaceuticals, but that dissimilarity is enough to create new production challenges. Veterinary tablets formulation reflects the diversity of enzymes that different species use to break down substances. Although the methods involved are comparable to human drug manufacturing, equipment and processes need to adapt to a wider dosage variability in veterinary tablets.

The two halves of a capsule shell are separately filled with your selected material before they are then pressed against one another and closed. Automatic capsule fillers orientate the shells in the precise position, fill them with your specified formula a join the ends. Capsules are then de-dusted and polished by micro brushes before they are ready for packaging.

Capsule fillers

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 19th century. However, capsules are changing to increase delivery efficiency and reduce the dependency on gelatin.

Process

Batch

Filling lines are used extensively in all industries, such as food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and cosmetics, to accurately package different products into a container suitable for that product. Although the filling process is at the very end of the production line, it is no less important than the earlier steps. Last but not least, the idiom that dates back to 1382 when John Wyclif wrote the firste the laste, and the laste the firste, indicates just that the last things on a list are just as valuable as the previous ones. In this case, this idiom fits perfectly.

Filling

Formulation technologies are an integral process in many industries such as pharma and food. Chemical mixtures require strict handling to combine the separate ingredients into the homogenized recipe that makes your final product. Formulation technology stores, mixes and subjects the elements to a range processing parameters according to your specifications to develop the base material. The resulting formulas are then weighed, formed, packaged, or sent for further formulation.

The humble chamomile flower holds a rich blend of compounds that soothe body and mind. A natural antidepressant and anti-inflammatory, chamomile oil found its way into the earliest pharmacopeia. As more of its properties were discovered, the oil became an elemental ingredient for a vast range of pharmaceutical and cosmetic recipes. Chamomile oil processing equipment developed at the same speed, offering manufacturers multiple production techniques to extract the liquid from the precious flower.

The rapeseed flower evolved high concentrations of substances that are anti-nutritive at best and toxic at worst. But new varieties developed in the 1970s lowered the content of glucosinolates and erucic acids. From then, the use of oilseed rape spread to several applications, from edible oil to biofuel to animal feed. Rapeseed oil processing technology has thus become foundational to industries spanning food production, energy, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

The ancient Greeks believed feeding sea buckthorn to their horses would give them a lustrous hide. Indeed, full of lipids and carotenoids, the fruit did contribute to glowing, reddish coats. However, the thorny plant also has benefits for humans. Sea buckthorn processing equipment extracts this unique vegetable oil full of fatty acids. The liquid is a prominent component in various food, cosmetic, and pharmacological preparations.

Chemical

Due to their potential hazardous nature, chemicals are classified for proper identification and safety during production. Chemical classification depends on their properties, structures and functions. In the chemical industry, you can regard them as basic chemicals such as acids, chemical products to produce plastic materials and finished chemicals for use in cosmetology. As a manufacturer or engineer, you want to know their reactivity when using chemical processing equipment.

In the pharmaceutical world, encapsulation refers to various techniques to enclose and protect the drug ingredients by forming the capsule shell. Encapsulation equipment changes depending on whether the manufacturer needs to produce a soft or hard gel capsule. For instance, encapsulation systems and machines for softgels control the entire process from start to finish because their shells are filled at the same time they are produced. On the other hand, the filling of hard gel capsules comes by separating the body from the cap, and after the filling operations, the two parts are sealed together again, forming the shell.

Mayonnaise is created by blending oil with eggs, and then flavoring with vinegar, mustard, herbs, and spices. The eggs are a natural emulsifier that creates a uniform mixture. Ingredients are pumped into mayonnaise manufacturing equipment. First, a dynamic mixer maintains the desired level of emulsification of the mixture, which then moves on to packaging and bottling once reaching a satisfactory consistency.
