Catalog 12 - Solid Dosage Processing

Product catalog summary
Application Overview
Solid dosage forms, such as tablets and capsules, are prevalent in the pharmaceutical industry. These forms are composed of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) combined with binders, fillers, and other excipients. The processing methods differ based on drug type, dosage form, administration route, and release duration.
Fluid Air, a Division of Spraying Systems
Fluid Air specializes in equipment for processing solid dosage forms, including fluid bed dryers, granulators, and process control software. Their systems are customizable and scalable from research and development (R&D) to production, ensuring batch uniformity and performance.
Fluid Bed Systems
MAGNAFLO and MAGNACOATER are customizable fluid bed systems designed for drying, coating, and granulation. They include features like tapered expansion chambers, agitator rakes, and adjustable shutter plates for precise control, available in R&D, pilot, and production scales.
High-Shear Granulators
PHARMX granulators provide customizable mixing systems for homogeneous mixing and granulation, featuring optimized bowl geometry and hydraulic drive systems, with options for one-pot processing. They are available in R&D, pilot, and production scales.
Size-Reduction Systems
GRANUMILL systems are engineered for precision particle size reduction and de-agglomeration, offering variable speed rotors, quick-release housing, and multiple feed/discharge options, available in R&D, pilot, and production scales.
Tablet Coating Systems
TABCOATER systems enhance existing coating equipment with new components like manifolds and spray nozzles, featuring anti-bearding nozzles and automated process controls for improved performance.

Catalog 12 - Solid Dosage Processing-2

perfec ting the process In the pharmaceutical industry, a solid dose is a dosage form, such as a tablet or capsule or powder which is ingested orally and generally consists of a mixture of active pharmaceutical ingredients (or APIs, the drugs being delivered) along with a combination of binders, fillers and other excipients designed to imbue the finished drug with specific characteristics. Processing methods for individual pharmaceutical drugs can vary widely depending on the type or types of drugs being manufactured, the dosage form (solid dosage vs. liquid) the intended route of administration,...
