Drug-making process should use pharmaceutical equipment. They help speed up different production tasks.
Solid dose and liquid drugs both need special machines. These machines handle each step of making medicine. Next, you will learn about the different machines used to make drugs.
Pharmaceutical processing equipment and their functions
Agitators
Mix liquids, help with reactions, and move heat or cold.
Blowers
Help recover solvents and support evaporation in making medicine.
Boilers
Make steam by heating water for cleaning and heating tasks.
Capsule equipment
Fill, polish, and sort capsules for correct doses.
Capsule and tablet printers
Print drug names and dosages on pills.
Centrifuges
Separate liquids or remove liquids from solids for purity.
Chillers
Quickly cool things down during medicine making.
Coaters
Add coatings to tablets or capsules for taste and look.
Cooling towers
Cool liquids or steam for controlled temperatures.
Dryers and granulators
