INSIGHTS ON SOLID DOSE MANUFACTURING

SOLID DOSE MANUFACTURING SOLUTIONS

  • Used GlobePharma Single Station Tablet Press.

  • When AST came to the table on the design for our new fill-finish isolator, one of the first areas AST engineers wanted to address was the usability and accessibility of the isolator and corresponding operations. With our customers’ point of view in mind, we wanted to address specific points of friction routinely encountered by operators and closely examine whether those friction points were necessary.

    Does an isolator need to be ergonomically unfriendly to clean?

    Should simple mechanisms like isolator doors be challenging to engage? (As much as one can appreciate exercise, no one wants to do “arm day” in cleanroom coveralls).

    Does routine maintenance have to be time-consuming and laborious?

    Many of these factors are accepted as par for the course in aseptic fill-finish manufacturing. Our question was, why?

  • Forming part of 3P innovation’s Discover Range, this early-stage development unit uses two sets of die punches to compress pellets and seal them within a blister strip. Used predominantly for dry powder inhalers (DPIs), the ultra-compact filler fits on your lab benchtop.

  • Understanding the fine details of powder properties is crucial in the pharmaceutical industry, where the behavior of particulate matter can affect manufacturability and the efficacy of the final product.

  • IMA Precisa 18 High Speed Tablet/Capsule Checkweigher, serial# PA1114.
