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...

Electromagnetic Energy in Food Processing

The use of electromagnetic energy in food processing is considered with respect to food safety, nutritional quality, and organoleptic quality. The results of nonionizing radiation sources such as microwave and radio-frequency energy and ionizing radiate on sources. Nonionizing microwave energy sources are more and more used in home and industrial food processing and are well-accepted by the end users. But, even though new-fangled Food and Drug Administration approval of low and intermediate ionizing radiation dose levels for grains and further plants products. Microwave and radio frequency energy are allotments of the electromagnetic spectrum that can redeem heat to foods selectively and systematically. Explicitly, microwaves interrelate with water in foods to heat preponderant those allotments that are wet. End users are usual with microwave ovens as household appliances used to warm and cook foods, defrost frozen foods, and pop popcorn. On an industrial scale,...

Importance and applications of Industrial Minerals

Industrial resources (minerals) are geological materials that are mined for their industrial worth, that are not fuel (fuel minerals or mineral fuels) and aren’t sources of metals (metallic minerals) but are utilized in the industries based on their physical and/or chemical properties. they’re utilized in their natural state or after beneficiation either as raw materials or as additives in a very wide range of applications. Industrial minerals could also be defined as minerals mined and processed (either from natural sources or synthetically processed) for the value of their non-metallurgical properties, that provides for their use in a particularly wide range of industrial and domestic applications. As a general rule, they’ll also be defined as being non-metallic, non-fuel minerals. Obvious examples of naturally occurring industrial minerals include: clays sand talc limestone gypsum pumice potash Other examples of natural industrial minerals include...
