The Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Processing

Pharmaceutical Processing is the practice of manufacturing drugs. It can be broken into a range of unit operations, which we have highlighted in this article. The pharmaceutical manufacturing process has manufacturing guidelines and precise requirements for quality.

The pharmaceutical process comprises a mixture of specific unit processes selected according to the chemical and physical characteristics of the active pharmaceutical ingredient.

We are a top CDMO Pharmaceutical Company in America with devotion to exceeding regulatory requirements and quality and focusing on our customers. We do this via dedicated, empowered, and motivated employees.

Processes in Pharmaceutical Processing

Below are the processes involved in pharmaceutical processing:

1. Dry Granulation

This involves the compaction of a low-density powder to a granule. This process consists of milling, compaction, and screw feed systems.

 
2. Powder Blending

Here, a wide range of excipients is blended to get a final blend used to produce the solid dosage form. The exceptionality of each drug formulation guarantees that no two blending processes can ever be the same.

3. Wet Granulation

Wet granulation is often used for densification to improve wettability, uniformity, or flowability. It is also used to improve dispensing qualities.

4. Fluid Bed Granulation

Tangential spray, bottom spray, and top spray are usually used in the pharmaceutical and food industries.

5. Drying

Pharmaceutical formulation involves controlling, and understanding the moisture content of powders is crucial to many pharmaceutical processes. Laminar flow drying conditions impact granules and powder’s chemical and physical characteristics.

6. Pharmaceutical Milling

This is the process of using rotating shears to remove constituents from a piece. This is done by feeding in at an angle with the axis of the tool.

7. Compression of Powder into Tablets

This is an efficient process for manufacturing a strong dosage medication.

8. Tablet Coating Equipment

Here, options include off-press continuous coating, batch process coating pan, or continuous processing.

10. Encapsulation

Pharmaceutical fill-finish involves encapsulation. And this involves the containment of a liquid or a solid dose of a drug in a hard pre-formed capsule or a softshell.

11. Micronization

This is the process of reducing the particle size of products. It is done under extremely high pressures, impacts, accelerations, turbulence, and shear to make them clinically effective and more stable.

Pharmaceutical Process Engineer

Pharmaceutical process engineering is present in all stages of a continuous manufacturing process. These engineers are responsible for designing, implementing, controlling, and optimizing pharmaceutical processes.

The processes involved can be biochemical or chemical. Pharmaceutical engineers can be designing innovative equipment and processes for a new facility. They can also be involved in the adjustment and optimization of pharmaceutical processes and equipment already in place.

Their responsibilities may also include providing analysis of the process to assure efficiency, safety, and compliance with relevant regulations.
