Manufacturing Methods for Production of Pharmaceutical Tablet

  A tablet is a pharmaceutical dosage form. It contains of a combination of active substances and excipients, generally in powder form, passed are compacted into a solid dose. Excipients: Diluents, binders or granulating agents, glidents and lubricants to ensure efficient tableting; Disintegrates: to promote tablet break up in the digestive tract; Sweeteners or flavours: to enhance the taste; Polymer coating: it is applied to make the tablet smoother and easier to swallow, to control the release rate of the active ingredient, to make it more resistant to the environment. There are three methods by which  tablets  are manufactured; Wet granulation Dry granulation Direct compression Manufacturing process depends on many factors, including the compression properties of the therapeutic agents, the particle size of the therapeutic agent, excipients and the chemical stability of the therapeutic agent throughout the producing method. Wet Granulation It is most commonly used method for the man

Importance of Drying During Production

  At a certain point, each production method encounters the problem of moisture. The causes of moisture will vary widely and therefore the consequences of moisture are usually terribly completely different. However, the answer continually comes all the way down to an equivalent thing: remove the maximum amount moisture as possible. Drying or blow-off solution will prevent a lot of your time, energy and cash. Possible causes of moisture? The causes of moisture formation will vary widely. Our expertise shows that these causes are often divided into 3 broad classes: Cooling –  several product are cooled. Typically because the last step during a sterilization or pasteurization method. Water is usually used for this purpose, leaving water droplets on the product. For example: prepared meals, cans, pet food, other examples are extrusion of plastics or rubbers. Cleaning –  After production, the product are usually cleansed, washed or rinsed. Once again, water droplets remain behind. For examp

Advantages and Common Applications of Vacuum Drying

  Vacuum drying is that the mass transfer operation during which the moisture present in a substance, typically a wet solid, is removed by means of making a vacuum. In chemical process industries like food process, pharmacology, agriculture, and textiles, drying is an important unit operation to get rid of moisture. Vacuum drying is usually used for the drying of substances that are hygroscopic and heat sensitive, and relies on the principle of making a vacuum to decrease the chamber pressure below the pressure level of the water, causing it to boil. With the assistance of vacuum pumps, the pressure is reduced around the substance to be dried. This decreases the boiling point of water within that product and thereby will increase the speed of evaporation considerably. The   vacuum drying   method may be a batch operation performed at reduced pressures and lower relative humidity compared to close pressure, enabling quicker drying. The drying kinetics and drying efficiency of vacuum dry

Different Methods of Grain Drying

  Grain drying is method of drying grain to stop spoilage throughout storage. The   grain drying   represented during this article is that which uses fuel- or electric-powered processes supplementary to natural ones, as well as swathing/windrowing for drying by close air and sunshine. Hundreds of millions of tonnes of wheat, corn, soybean, rice and different grains as sorghum, sunflower seeds, rapeseed/canola, barley, oats, etc., are dried in grain dryers. Within the main agricultural countries, drying contains the reduction of moisture from about 17-30% w/w [clarification needed] to values between eight and 15%w/w, looking on the grain. The ultimate moisture content for drying should be adequate for storage. A lot of oil the grain has, the lower its storage moisture content is (though its initial moisture for drying will be lower).  Drying  is carried out as a requisite for safe storage, so as to inhibit microbic growth. However, low temperatures in storage are extremely suggested to

Drying Methods for Improving the Quality of Dried Herbs

  Herbs are “any plant with leaves, seeds, or flowers used for seasoning, food, medicine, or perfume”. Herbs are considered to be extremely perishable foods thanks to their high moisture content and most herbs are chill-sensitive. They’re thus processed by drying to make shelf-stable product.   Drying preserves   the standard of herbs by reducing the moisture content that inhibits the expansion of microorganisms and chemical alterations throughout dried storage. Within the cooking sense, dried herbs are usually used as “flavouring” agents to feature their characteristic aromas to the foods. Aside from the cooking usages of herbs, their oil may be used as AN antimicrobial agent that’s effective against   microorganism , yeast, and molds. Dried herbs even have several applications in alternative fields, like in medical and toiletry product and in fragrance producing. Herbs are identified to be a superb source of antioxidants. The standard characteristics thought of to be the most necessa

Importance of Granulation Techniques and Technologies

  Granulation, the method of particle enlargement by agglomeration technique, is one among the most vital unit operations in the production of pharmaceutical dosage forms, largely tablets and capsules.   Granulation method   transforms fine powders into free-flowing, dust-free granules that are simple to compress. Nonetheless, granulation poses various challenges because of top quality demand of the formed granules in terms of content uniformity and physicochemical properties like granule size, bulk density, porosity, hardness, moisture, compressibility, etc. beside physical and chemical stability of the drug. Granulation method may be divided into 2 types: wet granulation that utilize a liquid within the method and dry granulation that needs no liquid. The kind of method choice needs thorough information of physicochemical properties of the drug, excipients, and needed flow and release properties, to name some. Among presently available technologies, spray drying, roller compaction, h

Role of Special Purpose Machines in Automobile Industry

  Special Purpose Machines are those who are out of stock on the shelf. These machines got to be tailored as per the necessity of the client since they’re not present within the standard manufacturing programs. These machines are unremarkably referred to as bespoke machines. within the production technique, there’s continuously a requirement and scope to boost the standard of the merchandise and additionally specialise in the opposite factors prefer to minimize the rejection and increase the productivity of every person so as to cater the pressing circumstances during this globalized world economy. The only answer to the present demand is Special Purpose Machines that expeditiously provides high productivity. This sector will become absolutely fledged by activity a full scale automation of the economic method that’s attainable where. The use of the Special Purpose Machines beside the automation has reduced the possibility of errors, has conjointly reduced the human fatigue in closing t

The Impact and Role of the Energy Conservation in Industries

  Energy conservation is that the practice of decreasing the amount of energy used for constant quality and quantity of Output. it should be achieved through economical energy use, in which case energy use is decreased whereas achieving an identical outcome, or by reduced consumption of energy services. Energy conservation leads to increase of economic capital, environmental worth, national security, personal security, and human comfort. People and organizations that are direct shoppers of energy might want to conserve energy so as to reduce energy costs and promote economic security. Industrial and commercial users might want to increase potency and so maximize profit. Energy Management : Energy Conservation Energy Conservation includes any behavior that results in the use of less energy. Focuses on Behavior of People One example is using Daylight through window rather than turning on the Lights. Energy Efficiency Energy Efficiency involves the use of Technology that requires less ene
