WEIGHING & BLENDING

Weighing

Weighing is the first step in pharmaceutical manufacturing and it is also one of the most critical. We are experts in handling the many challenges involved:

• Weighing accuracy – ensuring that the correct amount of each ingredient is used in the mixture.
• Avoiding contamination – ensuring that no dust or foreign particles are allowed into the mixture – for which we use clean room technology with laminar air flows.
• Lot control - ensuring the traceability of each ingredient via electronic protocols.
• Moving large amounts of material – both in and out of the facility. We have huge silos for raw materials that are joined to the production facility by an automatic weighing centre that can handle around 3000 tons of material per year.

Blending

Within the blending process, content uniformity is critical: every tablet must contain the same amount of API with as little variation within a batch as possible. Our special blending techniques achieve content uniformity of even the smallest amounts of APIs in batch sizes of up to 1500 kg.
