Equipment Optimization

  This involves a lot more than turning up the speed.  Increasing productivity isn’t effective if machines get worn out or worse, damaged. Yet, that is what we often see.  We can help evaluate the product, environment, equipment setup and operation to maximize performance reducing downtime and changeover time.

Tablet Coating Musts

When it comes to coating tablets there are musts that really count and then there are the other things.  The ability to coat tablets well is often considered more of an art than a science. Traditional coating uses a sugar solution that is applied one layer at a time through a process called the three D’s; dose, distribute, and dry. Once at the proper temperature the tumbling cores are exposed to an initial dose of solution which is added by the use of a (soup) ladle, pumped, or a controlled spray nozzle. The solution is added in steps and after each addition the cores are continually tumbled to distribute the solution evenly while forced air is blown over the surface of the bed of cores to facilitate the drying process. This process of dose, distribute, and dry is done layer by layer until the required 50–100% weight gain achieves the desired buildup and appearance. Many companies made their own proprietary solution that was kept a closely guarded secret. The art was knowing whe...

The Manufacturing Process — Part 4

Tablet Compression — While an experienced operator can take a marginal granulation and make a good quality tablet, an inexperienced operator (not fully understanding tablet press operation) will be unable to produce a quality tablet. Understanding the machine operation and being able to identify the difference between a machine issue and a granulation issue is important. Operators should be qualified, tested and certified in the operation of a tablet press. While tablet presses are used for many applications, the basis of formula development is the same for each application. The final granulation to be compressed must have three basic characteristics, all of which are critical: Flow, Compress and Eject. A tablet press can be fully automated to the point that it can be operated in a lights out operation. This puts all the emphasis on the cleaning and proper set up of the machine. This is also true of a non automated machine. The emphasis is on cleaning and proper setup. W...
