Drying in Pharmaceutical Industries

Drying plays vital role of life saver to many industrial process then how it cannot be mentioned for the industry which help many living things to save their life and keep them healthy. Yes, you got it right, in this article I will try to jot down the role and importance of drying as process in pharmaceutical industries. All lifesaving drugs processed in the pharmaceutical industries needs to go through multiple drying stages as the any microbial infection, thermal decomposition, contamination or unremoved organic solvent may damage the quality of product, this might result in fatal effect on the life of consumer. This industry is very quality intensive industry hence all the process equipment and dyers required must be of high quality and meet the industry standard.

At Kerone, we are having immense experience in handling such need for such high quality and precise processing industries, with our custom designed and built dryers and process equipment.

Pharmaceutical dryers should be of high standard and sophisticated with varying temperature range and types of either batch or continuous type. Basically there are three subsequent stages in non-liquid drugs 1) Synthesis of intermediate products 2) Final synthesis 3) drug dosage forms and these stages require drying and/or preheating before or after the process.

Substances dried in pharmaceutical industries are classified in three groups: 1) Granular material 2) Pastelike Material 3) Solution and suspensions. Special type of dryer is required for drying of these type of material hence it becomes very critical to identify the type of material first and then the type of dryer required for it. Selecting appropriate dryer is necessary for the success of process, below is the small classification:

Granular Material: Convective dryers of variant tray, ban, fluid bed, flash, or any other custom design dryers. Also, vacuum dryers and paddle dryers are too suitable.
Pastelike Material: Tray dryer, band dryers, spin-flash dryer and spray dryers are suitable.
Solution and suspensions: Freeze-dried

Further selection of dryer is based on following components:

Size of Particle
Thermal Property
Heat sensitivity
Moisture contains
Absorption rate
Sorptive properties and etc.

Different Types of Sterilization Process

Sterilization can be accomplished by an amalgamation of heat, chemicals, irradiation, high pressure and filtration such as steam under pressure, dry heat, ultraviolet radiation, gas vapour sterilants, chlorine dioxide gas etc. Successful sterilization strategies are necessary for working in a lab and negligence of this could lead to severe consequences, it could unexpectedly cost a life. So what are the more frequently utilized methods of sterilization in the laboratory, and how do they work? The Sterilization is conveyed out by the methods according to requirement. The methods are: 1. Moist Heat Sterilization 2. Dry Heat Sterilization 3. Gas Sterilization and Others. Moist Heat Sterilization: Moderate pressure is utilized in steam sterilization. Steam is utilized under pressure as a means of accomplishing an elevated temperature. It is dominant to confirm the accurate quality of steam is utilized in order to keep away the problems which follow, superheating of the steam, f...

Microwave Continuous Vulcanization (CV) Rubber Curing Oven

Vulcanization is process of converting natural rubber or rubber polymers into more durable and mechanically strengthens rubber by the process of mixing sulfur and processing. This process results in changing the cross-linking bonds within the natural rubber and making bonds more strong and non-sticky. Vulcanization curing is achieved by heating the natural rubber or rubber polymer at very high temperature along with sulfur or any other agent, such high level of temperature rise results into changing of bond within the rubber and resulting in non-sticky, maker it lesser deformable when heated, and removes the brittleness this helps rubber to achieve the desired level of elasticity. Continuous Vulcanization curingprocess is most common process used for variety of application. In the process Continuous Vulcanization curing rubber and accelerator is put under high temperature and pressure, this mixture is passed through the continuous heating line during the process, some of C-...

Organic Food and its increasing consumer demand

Organic Food Processing is where organic raw materials are processed into food and drink. The organics standard of food processing is to protect the food constituents so that organic ingredients are used, and encourage the avoidance of unnecessary chemical or physical. Organic labeling offers consumers, the confidence that the eatables they consume are produced under controlled organic standards. Organic food should be of high nutritional and high natural quality. With the growing awareness even the governments of various countries have setup a separate body to monitor the whole Organic Processing System, in India that being National Program for Organic Production (NPOP). India is one of the upcoming leading processors in this sector. Some private standards demand that organic food should fulfill the criteria of wholesome nutrition, where processing methods must be seen as relevant tools. Most processing methods have more or less strong influences on product properties. Heat...
