Pharmaceutical Powder Bagging Equipment

API making equipment must observe rigorous quality control standards across the entire manufacturing process. The pharmacodynamic properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients API make them highly sensitive to their environment, making API manufacturing and production a tightly regulated field.

Active pharmaceutical ingredients (API)

The click and puff of inhalers is a universal signal for respiratory conditions. Inhalers quickly grew into preferred drug delivery systems for asthma and COPD. Dry inhaler powder formulation produces a more stable drug than liquid dosage forms. Moreover, inhaler ingredients are more resistant to bacterial growth.

Dry inhaler powder

Used in the pharmaceutical industry to produce tablets and capsules, among others, pharmaceutical granules are made to enhance the uniformity and flow of powder, increase the density of the blend and reduce dust and, therefore, toxic exposure. The choice of the granulation process, whether it is wet, dry, or direct compression, as well as the selection of appropriate pharmaceutical granulation equipment, depends on the specific drug being formulated.

Bagging is the process of packaging measured portions of a product into bags that protect it from spoilage, enable easy and safe transportation, and secure the product against tampering and pilferage. The choice of bagging equipment depends on the desired mass or volume per bag, the flow characteristics of the product, and bag construction and design. Bags vary in size from small sachets to bulk flexible containers. Bagging systems are often the last processing step that is generally integrated into a production line.

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.

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.

The nearly 5,000 known minerals on earth share some characteristics to be classified as minerals – they are inorganic, solid, naturally occurring elements and have a particular chemical formula and an ordered internal geometric structure. However, minerals are not all the same. One way to divide them is based on their physical characteristics such as hardness, luster, color, and shape. For example, the diamonds we use to make jewelry are very hard minerals while talc is a soft mineral; gold is a shiny mineral while others are less so.

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

Long was the time when you could only make dragée chocolate – or, to simplify it, to cover chocolate with a layer of chocolate or sugar and then polish it or not. Now, you can use a chocolate panning machine to offer different types of dragée items. Mind that the process of panning may slightly differ according to the product you are making.

Dragee products

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

In 1682, Denis Papin found a method to remove collagen from animal bones, discovering gelatin. But it was the inventor Peter Cooper who developed gelatin powder processing. In 1845 he secured his invention with US patent 4084 for a dessert of gelatin powder called “portable gelatin”.

Gelatin powder

Everything tastes like porridge, the saying goes. That may be an exaggeration, but in theory, reaction flavors could make everything taste the same. Thankfully, flavorists and chemists in the flavor industry are more inventive than that, and colorful process flavors treat our taste buds to a broad palette of sensations, flavors and aromas.

Looking beautiful is hard work. Queen Elizabeth I knows this well. Just think she used so many cosmetics and makeup containing toxic materials, especially lead-based face powder, that she even died from them. Today fortunately, you no longer need lead to make face powder. Simply mix pigments, fillers, dry and wet binders, and compress the mixture using a powder compacting press. Then the face powder is ready to be applied using a powder puff.

Aseptic filling equipment is crucial for sensitive products, as they need to be filled into their primary packaging in an environment free from contamination caused by harmful bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms. Choosing an aseptic filling solution requires consideration of the physical form of the product, the type of primary packaging, the volume to be dosed per package, and the production speed. Aseptic fillers are widely used for cleaning, filling, and sealing pre-sterilized vials, cartridges, ampoules, and syringes in the pharmaceutical industry. Aseptic filling is also used in the food industry to process for example, dairy products that need harmful bacteria's minimized, or ensure shelf-stable products that do not require refrigeration. In these industries, aseptic equipment is integrated into the production line for maximum isolation and sterilization. And, can either be configured as an automated or manual process, depending on standards that the products require.

Aseptic filling equipment

Bag filling equipment is a crucial component in many industries where products need to be packaged efficiently and quickly. Whether you're filling bags with powder, granules, or other materials, automated bag fillers can streamline the process and save time and labor costs. Bag fillers often come with additional features, such as stickers or other labeling equipment, to add branding or product information to the bags. This can save time and money by eliminating the need for separate labeling equipment.

Bag Filling

Bulk Bag Solutions

A flexible intermediate bulk container is an industrial container designed for the transportation and storage of dry, flowable products in bulk packages. Selection of big bag filling equipment requires consideration of the type of particles to be packaged, type of bag to be used, filling weight/volume per bag, and production volume. Big bag filling equipment is used in the food industry for packaging seeds, spices, salt, and starch. In the pharmaceutical industry it is used for packaging of active ingredients; in the chemical industry for the filling of bulk chemicals, fertilizers, pigments, and plastic granules.

Flexible intermediate bulk containers

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

A flexible containment solution prevents product loss and ensures that personnel is not exposed to harmful substances by locking in the product as it is transferred from one container to another. The choice of a containment system depends on the physical state of the product, the type of container from which the product is being transferred, and the type of container to which it is being moved. Flexible containment solutions are widely used in the pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries to comply with health and safety regulations.

Flexible containment solutions

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.

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.

Contained transfer systems are designed to safely transfer the product or waste items in or out of contained or sterile areas. Valves are used to regulate the flow in contained transfer systems. The choice of a suitable containment system depends on the form of source and target containers, the physical state of the product and the volume of the product to be transferred. These systems find applications in transferring pharmaceutical powders from drums to the process equipment, filling bulk chemicals in transportation bags or safely discharging them into mixing tanks.

Contained transfer systems

Single-use technologies are increasingly being used in the biotech industry due to lower costs, lower risk of cross-contamination, flexibility, and convenience. A single-use bioreactor uses disposable bags instead of a culture vessel to carry out the bioprocess. Using disposable bags, instead of reusable bioreactors, can help reduce the setup time and the time between production cycles. It also reduces sterilization demands for vessel reuse, leading to significant cost savings. In addition to single-use bags, single-use sensors are also employed for efficient and low-cost bioprocessing. Single-use applications are especially suitable for the production of biopharmaceutical products.

Single use systems

Biopharmaceuticals are drugs in which the active substance is manufactured or extracted from biological origin materials. They are usually produced in bioreactors by plant cells, microbial cells, yeast cultures, or mammalian cells. Also known as biomanufacturing, they are used to either treat or diagnose and prevent a patient’s medical condition or disease. Biopharmaceuticals are typically complex macromolecules administered by injection or infusions, and examples include vaccines, serums, and insulin.

R&amp;D

Biotech equipment is used for cellular and biomolecular processing to develop products that improve our lives and the planet. With the help of specialized lab equipment, the active substance is manufactured or extracted from biological origin materials and typically produced in bioreactors by plant cells, microbial cells, yeast cultures, or mammalian cells. Cell isolation, cultivation, cell banking, and culture expansion are called upstream processes. After harvest, the production process moves into a downstream process to meet purity and quality requirements which is divided into cell disruption, purification, and polishing. Biotechnology equipment makes use of various laboratory machinery such as bioreactors, centrifuges and incubators.

The essential objectives of containment systems are personnel protection and preventing the release of toxic or infectious material into the environment. Containment is also used to prevent a product or sample from contamination by the external environment. In the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, containment solutions are used to protect the personnel from the leaking of airborne particles of hazardous substances, as powders or liquids are handled or transferred during processing.

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

Ketchup processing begins with tons of tomato paste that is mixed and heated together with sugar, vinegar, and spices in a cooking kettle. After cooking, any remaining fibers and particles are filtered out. Once it reaches the right viscosity, your tomato ketchup production process is finished and ready for packaging and transport.

Ketchup

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.

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.

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

Ancient civilizations were using yeast as it naturally occurred in bread-making and brewing. But yeast processing equipment wasn't developed and fully commercialized until the end of the 18th century. Today, this industrialized micro-organism is critical in producing biofuels and other products beyond food and drinks.
