HOW THIS GUIDE WILL HELP YOU

Why Materials Handling Matters

For OSD producers it is vital that the end product is consistently accurate with an exact amount of active ingredients per tablet/capsule to deliver the highest quality results.

Careful consideration must be given to the methods in which powders, granules, capsules and tablets will be moved within a facility. Along with zoning areas and whether your factory needs to be a single floor with mezzanine level, or double floor.

Considerations must be to the way in which powders based materials, granules and tablets are handled and moved from one processing stage of the production process to another.

Knowing and reviewing these processes and volumes is key to designing a more efficient system to suit your needs.

In this guide we explain the top three methods commonly used in the industry:

  • Continuous processing
  • Manual handling
  • IBC modular systems

Realising the most efficient material handling equipment and processes ought to be the determining factor when designing a new pharmaceutical Oral Solid Dosage facility.
