Pharmaceuticals machines, step by step

The machines are in the order they work in the process. Ask us about any of them: we check feasibility and the import rules before we quote.

Dispensing

Each raw material is weighed exactly for the batch in a clean, controlled area.

Precision balance
A sensitive scale with a glass draft shield that weighs each ingredient exactly for the batch record.

Dispensing booth
A booth with filtered air flowing downwards, so powders can be weighed without dust reaching the operator or the room.

Powders are mixed and bound into small granules, which are dried so they flow and press evenly.

High-shear mixer granulator
A bowl with a fast impeller and a chopper that mixes powders with a binder liquid into even, dense granules.

Fluid bed dryer
Blows warm air up through wet granules so they float and dry quickly and evenly, with filters to keep the powder in.

Dried granules are blended with the remaining ingredients until every part of the batch is the same.

Bin blender
Turns a closed bin end over end, so the granules and other ingredients mix evenly without being opened to the room.

The blend is pressed into tablets or filled into hard capsules, with weight checks along the way.

Tablet press
A turning table of punches and dies presses measured doses of granules into tablets, one after another.

Capsule filling machine
Opens empty hard capsules, fills them with a measured dose of powder or pellets, and closes them again.

Many tablets get a thin coating that protects them, masks the taste or controls how they release.

Tablet coating machine
A perforated drum tumbles the tablets while a spray gun coats them evenly and warm air dries the coat.

Tablets and capsules are sealed into blister strips, which go into printed cartons with the leaflet.

Blister packing machine
Forms pockets in plastic film, drops a tablet or capsule into each, and seals them with foil into strips.

Cartoning machine
Opens flat cartons, puts in the strips and a leaflet, prints the batch details and closes each carton.

Samples from every batch are tested in the lab before the batch is released.

Dissolution tester
Stirs tablets in vessels of warm liquid and samples it over time, to show how fast each tablet dissolves.

Liquid chromatography (HPLC) system
Pumps a dissolved sample through a packed column and a detector to measure how much of each substance it contains.
