Pharmaceutical Industrial Equipment Containers - Tanks - Pallets - Parrels

Pharmaceutical manufacturing is a highly controlled and regulated environment. Almost every process can be automated; and there is a piece of pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment involved in every step. Below, we have highlighted some common equipment used in solid dose (tablet and capsule) and liquid pharmaceutical manufacturing:

Processing equipment
Agitators: To mix liquids, to promote chemical reactions and to increase heat or cooling transfers.
Blowers: Used in solvent recovery and other evaporation applications.
Boilers: To create steam by applying heat energy to water.
Capsule equipment: Different equipment is available to fill, polish, and sort capsules.
Capsule and tablet printers: For printing information like drug names or dosage on the capsules or tablets.
Centrifuges: Used for separation of liquids of different densities, or for separation of liquids from solids.
Chillers: To quickly lower temperatures.
Coaters: To coat tablets or capsules with films like a sugar film.
Cooling towers: Used for cooling liquids or condensing steam.
Dryers and Granulators: For drying liquid preparations into powders or granules.
Heat exchangers: Used to transfer heat from one medium to another.
High Pressure Homogenizers: The most efficient fluid processing equipment for particle size reduction and cell lysis.
Inspection machines: Allow for visual inspection of the product as it is moved along by rotating rollers.
Metal detectors: For detecting tramp metal (bits of metal like nuts, screws, or broken fragments of machinery) that may have contaminated the product.
Tablet press: For producing tablets.
Tablet deduster: For removing any dust created in the tablet press. Often also polishes the tablet.
Tanks: For holding liquids.
