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

Pet food is a specialty food mostly based on formulated ingredients for various nutritional and dietary requirements. Pet food formulas are becoming more diverse and complex, considering the special health conditions and needs of young and aging pets that live in cities. The production of pet food is similar to processing food in general when it comes to fresh feedstock and flesh products.

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.

Biopharmaceuticals

Pharmaceutical powders provide longer shelf life and better stability than liquid dosage forms. But the processing of pharmaceutical powders is crucial for growing segments besides pharmacy. Functional foods and cosmetics formulated with active ingredients and excipients depend on powdered forms to fulfill their promises.

Pharmaceutical powder

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.

Tablets

Although not all women use makeup every day, almost all of them own at least one makeup product, be it lipstick or face powder. Most makeup products share the same basic ingredients of waxes, oils, and fillers with pigments like iron oxide used for colors and shades. Makeup manufacturing equipment includes pulverizers, mixers, and mechanical press machines to produce cosmetic products in different forms such as powder, liquid, or mousse.

Makeup

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

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

<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

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.

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.

Laboratory scale soft gelatin capsule machine

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.

Encapsulation

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Fluidised bed drying (FBD) is a common process in the pharmaceutical industry for drying compounds to achieve the required moisture content, as well as applying coatings or binders before further processing prior to tablet formulation.

Industrial dryer technology exploits the modes of heat transfer (convection, conduction, radiation, evaporative cooling) to control the moisture content.

Drying

Industrial filtration equipment separates solid matter from liquid by using a filter medium. The filter allows only the fluid to pass through but retains the solid matter. The choice of filtration equipment depends on the particle size, the consistency of the mixture, and the nature of your product.

Filtration

Industrial separation equipment encapsulates the separation process which is to separate components of a liquid mixture, for recovering dissolved solids from liquids. The choice of a suitable technology depends on the identification of the key physical or chemical property, such as size, mass, density, or boiling point, which sets the product of interest apart from the rest of the components. Separation technology is widely used in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries for the isolation of active ingredients and high-purity chemicals. As well as in waste management and recycling industries.

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.

Pelleting equipment transforms powdered, mashed, or grounded material into a denser cylindrical shape. Pellet processing compresses the fine material against a perforated die, where it will be shaped and cut. Although granulating and extrusion also produce pellet-like products, manufacturing pellets is a distinct process.

Pelleting

In the herbal medicine industry, an ultrasonic extractor is a valid alternative to conventional extraction methods that have a long extraction time. Ultrasounds are able to reduce production time by breaking cell walls to get the active ingredient. With the use of ultrasound only physical properties are needed and there’s no need to add chemicals to achieve extraction. This leads to a purer extraction. Although it’s a pilot machine in line with experimental research needs, it can also be used by small-scale manufacturers who wish to scale up their industrial production process.


<h2>Ultrasonic machine for extracting active ingredients in herbal medicine</h2>
The Prosonic1000 is a complete ultrasonic liquid treatment equipment that can be applied to the chemical and pharmaceutical (nanomaterial preparation), electronics (graphene preparation), food (sauces, mayonnaise, dietary supplements) and cosmetics (creams, ointments, lotions) industry. The machine designed by Cheersonic is a bridge between laboratory and small-scale production with the purpose to reduce the gap between experimental research and industrial production. The extraction process of natural products in the herbal medicine field is one of the most used applications for the Prosonic1000, but this ultrasonic equipment is also used for other procedures such as emulsification, homogenization, dispersion and lysis and cell disruption.

The operating principle of the Prosonic1000 is based on cavitation. During operation, a liquid is inserted into the tank through an open pump. The tank consists of two layers: internal and external layer. The internal layer stores the liquid, in which the ultrasonic horn transmits ultrasound waves. When high-power ultrasound waves touch the liquid, cycles of high-and low-pressure are generated. In the low-pressure stage, small vapour bubbles are formed before they collapse. This phenomenon of bubble formation, growth and implosion is called acoustic cavitation. By breaking intermolecular bonds, the penetration of an active ingredient into a solvent is easier, and it allows speeding up the extraction time. The ultrasonic horn can be customized according to customer needs in regard to the process. Moreover, the ultrasonic system has the ability to combine different operation modes, such as cyclic and static experimental methods.

Pilot ultrasonic extractor

Industrial extraction equipment unlocks the valuable compounds hidden away in natural materials. Automated extraction equipment is applied in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries to extract active compounds from medicinal plants or herbs. For example, extracting cannabinoids from cannabis plants. But the process is also fundamental to the food industry, recovering various components like aromas, oleoresins, and proteins.  Considerations for selecting suitable extraction technology include the type of plant material to be processed, the extract's heat sensitivity, and the production volume.

During the coating process, tablets pass many stages that can make them wet and sticky or crack and split around the edges. These damages can be caused by under or over-heating during spraying or poor spreading of spray droplets associated with inaccurate spray atomization. The high technology tablet coater allows an automatic adjustment control of the flow, avoiding the damp in drum, saving coating, and optimizing the processing time.
<h2>Coating tablets using a perforated, rotating coating drum</h2>
The  Tablet Coater from Romaco Tecpharm is a film coating machine based in perforated coating pan technology. Uncoated tablets (or pellets) can be fed to the rotating drum of the machine, in which flow-directing panels gently mix the tablets. A central nozzle arm sprays the coating film on the tablets and a flow of heated air evaporates the solvent.

Using sonar technology, the product load in the drum is detected (without any manual operation) and all the parameters for the coating process are automatically adjusted, such as distance and position of the spray guns, inlet and exhaust airflow and temperature, path and flow of the air, etc. The capacity of the machine ranges from 0,5 Kg to 600 Kg. Adding an automatic cleaning system is optional.

Granulation is a common technique in production of pharmaceutical solid dosage forms. Due to high quality requirements of the formed granules in terms of content uniformity and its physicochemical properties, it is important to choose the right process. The wet granulations process will ensure that a fine-powder heterogeneous mixture will turn into a uniform granulation, with increased particle size and higher density.
<h2>Complete turnkey solution for granulation of tablets</h2>
The Granulation Line from Romaco Tecpharm is a single frame solution which carries out all options for wet granulation process. It integrates the High Shear Granulator for mixing and granulation, the Fluidized Bed Dryer for drying, granulation and coating, and the Conical and Cylindrical Calibrators for calibration. It thus helps in reducing the space required in the clean-room and minimizing the risks of cross-contamination while giving maximum flexibility to process development and scalability studies.

The Granulation Line for pharmaceutical solid dosage forms is available in capacities ranging from 25 L to 1.400 L and can carry out two different processes. The first being, wet granulation where an agglutinative solution is added to form granules. The equipment combines one or more dust particles and forms a granule within the required limits.

The second being, the drying process by fluidization which is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry to reduce the moisture content of powder and granules. Hot air is passed at a given pressure and flow rate through a perforated bed of moist solid particles. The wet solids are lifted from the bottom and suspended in a stream of air. Heat is transferred by direct contact between the wet solid and hot gases. The vaporized liquid is then carried away by the drying gasses.

Granulation line for pharmaceutical solid dosage forms

It is rather difficult to successfully produce a pharmaceutical solid dosage forms with the desired properties such as size, morphology, hardness and friability. You need a solution that can transform fine heterogeneous powders into homogeneous blend of granules with bigger size and higher density in a short time and with repeatability. Wet granulation is carried out to convert fine and cohesive active ingredient and excipients, into more uniform, free-flowing granules that are optimised for downstream processing.
<h2>Achieve uniform particle size distribution for wet granulation</h2>
The High Shear Mixer Granulator from Romaco Tecpharm is configured to optimize the wet granulation process. It is used to turn a fine-powder heterogeneous mixture into a uniform granulation, with increased particle size and higher density.

The equipment offers you proper flow and compactness while having a shorter operational time. It can handle capacities ranging from 25 L to 1,400 L.The bottom impeller and the side chopper enables the intensive mixing in a short period of time. In addition, the equipment uses a synchronized system to avoid extrusion effect.

The high-shear granulator for drug formation processes the solid material down to the desired particle size, and the mixture is then pumped to the fluid bed dryer where the moisture is removed, leaving behind the granular product. During the process of wet granulation, the constituents of the oral solid dosage form blend are combined, along with agglutinative solution, to form granules with a homogenous composition.

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.

Dispersing systems are used to produce emulsions of two immiscible liquids or dispersions of solid particles in a liquid medium. The mixers generally operate on the rotor/stator principle and apply a high shear force on the suspended particles to break them down. The choice of a dispersion mixer depends on the physical state of the material being dispersed, the continuous or batch nature of the process, desired particle size, and the viscosity of the mixture. Dispersion mixers are widely used in the food industry for the dispersion of solid ingredients in oil or water and in the coatings industry for the dispersion of pigments.

Dispersing

An emulsifier is used to mix two immiscible liquids. Heating or cooling requirements during emulsification, overpressure or vacuum requirements, the need for wall scrapers, design of the mixing head, the viscosity of the liquids, and the desired droplet size are all important considerations when selecting an emulsifying system. Emulsifiers are typically used in the food industry for the production of batters, creams, and sauces, in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry for the production of creams and lotions, and in the chemical industry for the production of paint and other emulsions.

Emulsifying

The fermentation process stimulates enzymatic activity in organic substrates to transform their chemical composition. Fermentation is aided by storying the biomaterials in anaerobic environments, allowing the microorganisms to decompose their nutrient structures. The process is integral to some of the most popular products throughout time such as wine, beer, cheese, and kimchi. But besides the food sector, fermentation is also an important stage in the industrial manufacturing of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and biofuels.

Fermentation

Purification is the removal of contaminating substances and by-products to increase the level of purity of the desired substance. Considerations for choosing a suitable purification system in the industry, include the physical state of the mixture, the desired product, required level of purity, the type of mixture, heat sensitivity of the product, number of purification steps needed, and the production volume. Industrial purification systems are used for the production of pure water in the food pharmaceutical and biotech industries.
