What exactly is the tube filling machine principle?

An automatic tube filling machine is a device widely used in pharmaceutical industries. It is basically a machine which houses a tank to hold the semi-solid material that is to be filled, a pump to fill each tube that is attached to its mouth with the product and other little parts which help in this function. Usually an operator is required for changing the tubes and pressing the button that will fill it but apart from that, it is mostly automatic. There are a few advanced types available where everything is automatic but those are rare to find. The tube filling machine principle is such that it can fill any tube irrespective of its shape, size and capacity.  These are the areas where tube filling machines are used often: Pharmaceutical industry: Medicinal semi-solid creams and lotions mostly come in tubes. Unlike cosmetic brands, they don’t come in bottles ever, which is why the broadest use of tube filling machines is seen in pharma companies. Tubes are needed often in the pha

The Guide to Buying an Ointment Plant Machine

One of the many machines that a pharmaceutical company uses in its day-to-day operations is the  ointment manufacturing plant . They’re also used in the cosmetic industry. These machines are perfect for the production of homogenizations, ointments, emulsions, toothpastes, creams, lotions, among others. For easy cleaning, efficient use of agitators and ease in maintenance; the horizontal blade and specially designed anchor are placed horizontally to ensure that the mixing is done effectively along with the shearing action of the homogenizer, which becomes very important when one is working with viscous products. The main physical components of an ointment plant machine are as follows: An electric control panel board with all the necessary controls Manufacturing vessel and agitators with flush bottom valve A digital indicator on the panel that monitors the product temperature A water/wax phase vessel with a fast speed stirrer mounted on the side Spray ball on top cover for clea

The Process of Ensuring Sterile Filling Vessels

Cleaning validation is the process where pharmaceutical production equipment is cleaned effectively. This process happens in the pharmaceutical industry to avoid cross contamination and adulteration of drug products. The main purpose of doing this is to ensure that the company is complying with a particular set of standards and rules. This is very important because it helps to identify and rectify issues with the machinery that might have gone unnoticed previously. One cannot compromise on safety, quality or efficacy of drug produce which is why having  sterile vessel  almost becomes a necessity. Special attention should be paid to ‘difficult to reach’ surfaces. Cross contamination in the pharmaceutical industry will multiply several problems that could have been otherwise dealt with. One must usually follow a step-by-step evaluation method to determine the best way of resolution. If they were to be listed down, cleaning validation for sterile filling vessels is necessary because:

What you must know about liquid filling machines

Although not a lot of people talk about packaging one cannot ignore its importance in industries. Liquid filling machine is one such product that is sought after in beverage, food, restaurant, pharmaceutical and other industries. What exactly is a liquid filling machine? Also known as a liquid packaging machine or flow filling machine, it is used to fill products with different liquid viscosities into containers either through quantitative or volumetric filling. They are able to handle various textures, from water like to very thick ones. There is no single type of filler that can handle all kinds of liquids, you have to use a specific one for each. Also, no one filler can be used for multiple purposes. To choose the appropriate liquid filler machine for your manufacturing industry, these are the factors that you must keep in mind: ·        The viscosity of the liquid, characteristics of the foam and size of the particulates present in the product ·        Chemical compa

The story behind how toothpaste is made

In our daily lives, we come across a lot of products that we tend to use regularly, but what rarely crosses our minds is its story and how something that simple and usual is made. There is a different kind of machinery for manufacturing even the littlest thing and it can be fascinating if we pay attention to it. Just like that, a toothpaste is a product that has a proper manufacturing system. Do you want to know the story of the background and the daily manufacture of a toothpaste? The idea to first put toothpaste in tubes was brought up by Sheffield Labs, which was founded by the inventor of toothpaste Dr. Washington Wentworth Sheffield. His son Lucius noticed the collapsible metal tubes used for paints and thought it would be a good idea to adopt it for toothpaste among other pharmaceutical uses. The Colgate-Palmolive company claims to be the first one to manufacture these toothpaste tubes. It was only in 1980 that pumps and stand-up tubes came in place of the collapsible ones

Things you must know before buying a liquid syrup manufacturing plant

Liquid manufacturing plants are the machinery used in the pharmaceutical industry for producing oral liquids. It manages the two critical factors which decide the quality of liquids: the minimum manual handling and the cleanliness standards during manufacturing. It also provides maximum benefits of manpower. It contains the following main physical components: 1. Sugar syrup vessel 2. Manufacturing vessel 3. Storage vessel 4. Control panel 5. Product piping 6. Working platform This is how the working goes about: 1. From the feeding of sugar or water phase to loading the liquid oral manufacturing plant, the system comprises of a closed-circuit manufacturing facility. 2. The sugar and water are loaded either by a vacuum system or a mechanical system or manually. 3. The vessel containing the sugar syrup has a high-speed stirrer and electrical or steam heating facility depending on what the model is. 4. The sugar syrup is heated and prepared at the appropriate

Fluid bed dryer manufacturer on its machinery

Pharmaceutical companies include a lot of heavy machinery that is not found anyone else. Those who’re not acquainted with this industry mostly don’t know about all these and even when they do, it is quite complex to understand. Fluidized bed dryer (also called fluid bed dryer) can be defined as a kind of equipment used extensively within the pharmaceutical industries to scale back the moisture content of pharmaceutical powder and granules. The equipment works on a principle of fluidization of feed materials. In this process, hot air is introduced at high pressure through a perforated bed of moist solid particulate. The wet solids are lifted from the bottom and suspended in a stream of air in fluidized state. Heat transfer can be achieved by direct contact between the hot gases and wet solids. This vaporized liquid is carried away by the drying gasses. Sometimes the exit gas is partially recycled to save energy. The typical components that are always present in the machinery regardl
