INSIGHTS ON SOLID DOSE MANUFACTURING

SOLID DOSE MANUFACTURING SOLUTIONS

  • The pharmaceutical OSD manufacturing sector typically includes the final formulation to produce tablets and capsules, so the need to meet the current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) regulations and quality standards is paramount.

  • Used MG2 continuous motion capsule filler, model Planeta100, nominally rated up to 100,000 capsules/hour, currently set up for microdose capsules, multinet weight control unit less scale system, 460 volt, serial# 4697, built 2014.

  • Mettler XS204 Powder Weighing Enclosure designed to provide personnel protection when working with powdered substances down to a respiratory exposure concentration of less than 1 microgram powder per cubic meter of air (<1 ug/m3). Design accommodates sufficient space for efficient, ergonomic execution of powder weighing operations utilizing the Mettler XS204 Analytical Balance with dimensions (DxHxW) of 17.84” x 12.67” x 10.35” [453mm x 322mm x 263mm].

  • Used Korsch rotary tablet press, model PH106-DMS, 6 station, 40 KN compression pressure, keyed upper punch guides, 15 mm max tablet diameter, 15 mm max depth of fill, force feeder with feed hopper, rated up to 32,400 tablets/hour, with control panel, machine# 1.0062.95.

  • 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.
