GRANULATING DEPARTMENT
Page 12 of 46
Industrial Training Report SEP 2019
FIG-VIBRATOR SIEVER
Wet granulation is a common step in the manufacture of many solid dosage pharmaceuticals.
Wet granulation can be accomplished in a mixer granulator. A mechanical impeller moves the
powder while a liquid binder is applied onto a moving powder bed. Addition of the liquid
binder starts the formation of granules. The granulator also has a chopper.Impeller and
chopper are mainly responsible for wet granulation in the rapid mixer granulator. Rapid
Mixer Granulator is designed to achieve excellent mixing and consistent granules at lower
operating cost along with higher productivity. Better mixing and closed control of granule
size leads to faster tableting speeds with improved quality and least rejections.
Working Principle: The Rapid Mixer Granulator is mixing unit with a bottom entry agitator
ad side mounted chopper for granulation. It is used for dry blending, wet mixing, preparation
Page 13 of 46
Industrial Training Report SEP 2019
of dough and granulation, i.e. cutting of the wet mass into small size granules. It works on the
basic principle of agitation of the contents of the bowl at moderate speed and then running a
specially profiled cutter blade at high speeds into the wet mass.
• Mixing of dry material at high impeller and chopper speeds for a few minutes.
• Addition of liquid binder by pouring it on to the powder, while both the impeller and
chopper are running at a low speed.
• Wet massing with both agitators running at high speed.
Impellers: Impellers are fixed at the bottom of dome shaped stainless steel bowl. It has fully
length and two half-length blades. Impellers are designed such a way that small blade lift the
material and full-length blades push the material to mix well. These impellers break up the
wet mass into small pieces and granules.
Chopper: These are specially designed small blades located at the bottom of the dome. The
primary function of chopper is to cuts the lumps into smaller fragments those are mixed
equally by impeller and aids the bowl or sprayed onto the powder to achieve a more
homogeneous liquid distribution. It rotates at high speed (1440/2880) RPM to give easy and
uniform granulation. The speed of chopper is responsible for the size of granule. Chopper
does not have any significant effect on the granule size when impeller speed is high (above
200 RPM).
Discharge Port: The discharge port is mounted horizontally into the dome with vertical
downward opening. Granules are unloaded in the container through the discharge port.
Opening of discharge port is operated by pneumatic cylinder (compressed air cylinder) that
requires 3-5 kg/cm2 pressure of compress air
DECRIPITION
In a fluid bed dryer, good contact between hot air and particles to be dried so obtained
which causes rapid drying.
Page 14 of 46
Industrial Training Report SEP 2019
Theory: If a gas is allowed to flow up wards through a bed of solids particles at a velocity
greater than the setting velocity of the particles, the particles are partially suspended in the
gas stream.
The resultant mixture of solids and gas behave like a liquid and the solids are said to be
fluidized. The drying gas with the result that the drying takes place in a much shorter period
surrounds each individual solid particle.
Two types of fluidized bed dryers are used in the pharmaceutical industry. There are
PRINCIPLE
In the fluidized bed dryer, hot air or gas is passed at high pressure through a perforated
bottom of the container containing granules to be dried.
The granules are suspended in the stream of air and are lifted from the bottom. This condition
is called fluidized state.
The hot air is surrounded every granules to completely dry them. Thus materials or granules
are uniformly drying.
CONSTRUCTION
Two types of fluidized bed dryers are available in the pharmaceutical industry. There are
vertical fluidized bed dryers and horizontal fluidized bed dryers.
The construction of the vertical fluidized bed dryer is made up of the stain less steel or
plastic. A detachable bowl is placed at the bottom of the dryer, which is used for charging and
discharging of the materials.
The bowl has a perforated bottom with a wire mesh support for placing the
Page 15 of 46
Industrial Training Report SEP 2019
for the charging materials to be dried. A fan is mounted in the upper part for circulating hot
air. Fresh air inlet, prefilter and heat exchanger are connected serially to heat the air to the
required temperatures.
The temperature of the hot air and exit air are monitored. Bag filters are placed above the
drying bowl for the recovery of the fines.
The air flow is adjusted by means of recirculation control and fabric bags are provided to
prevent the passage of the fine particles. This type of the fluidized bed dryer is a batch type
dryer and the drying chamber is removed from the unit and dumping.
The different capacities ranging from 5 kg to 200 kg with an average drying time of about 20
- 40 min of the fluidized bed dryers are available
Horizontal vibrating conveyer fluidized bed dryers are used for continuous drying of a large
volume of the materials.
WORKING
The wet granules to be dried are placed in a detachable bowl. The bowl is pushed in to the
dryer. Fresh air is allowed to pass through a prefilter, which subsequently gets heated by
passing through a heat exchanger.
The hot air flows through the bottom of the bowl. Simultaneously fan is allowed to rotate.
The air velocity is gradually increased. When the velocity of the air is greater than the settling
velocity of granules, the granules remains partially suspended in the gas stream.
After sometimes a point of pressure is reached at which the frictional drag on the particles is
equal to the force of the gravity. The granules rise in the container because of high velocity
gas 1.5 to 7.5 m per min and later fall back in a random boiling motion.
This condition is said to be fluidized state. The gas surrounds every granules to completely
dry them. The air leaves the dryer by passing through the bag filters. The entrained particles
remain adhered to the inside the surface of the bags. Periodically the bags are shaken to
remove the entrained particles.
Page 16 of 46
Industrial Training Report SEP 2019
Intense mixing between the granules and hot gas is provided uniform conditions of the
temperature, composition and particle size distribution. Drying is achieved at constant rate
and falling period is very short. Any attempt to increase the air velocity may result in
entrainment.
The residence time for the drying is about the 40 min. the materials is left for the sometimes
in the dryer for reaching ambient temperature. The bowl is taken out for the discharging. The
end product is free flowing.
PHARMACEUTICAL APPLICATIONS
• It is used for the popularly drying of the granules in the production of the
tablets.
• It is used for the three operation such as mixing, granulation and drying.
Principle
The main body of the blender consists of two cone-shaped sections welded at their bases to a
central cylindrical section. The axis of rotation is perpendicular to the cone axis and passes
through the cylindrical section. The driving motor is located at one of the two lateral supports
Page 17 of 46
Industrial Training Report SEP 2019
holding blender body. The solids are introduced into the blender through the loading aperture.
In this type of blender, mixing takes place axially, as a result of the powder moving through
the different sections. Mixing is thorough but it depends on the rotating speed
Procedure:-
• Make sure that Line clearance is duly checked and signed by QA Personal as per
SOP clean before carry out the process
• Adjust the angle of the blender with the help of a moving wheel to a required position
for convenience in loading the materials.
• Load the materials from the container to the blender as per the sequence specified in
the individual Batch Manufacture Record (BMR)
• Put the safety pin on the lid and fit it properly within its groove. Lock the blender lid
by moving the wheel in clockwise direction.
• Before starting the operation, ensure that the lid and the safety pin lock has been
assembled properly.
• Blend the material as per the time specified in the individual BMR.
Page 18 of 46
Industrial Training Report SEP 2019
• Adjust the position of the blender at the required angle for convenience in unloading
the materials.
• Unlock the safety pin and remove the lid from the blender.
A rotary is one of the most popular type machines. Normally, we use this machine for high
production of tablets
• Punches & dies; they help to compress powder into tablets Cam tracks; they
guide the upper and lower punches.
• Capacity controls; it ensures proper filling of the die cavity
• Compressors; they may include pre-compression and main compression systems. This
compresses the powder into a desired tablet.
• Ejection cam; this helps to remove tablets from the die cavity
• Control system; controls and coordinates most functions of the machine Stage of
rotator tablet machine
That is, place your powder in the hopper from where it will flow to the tooling system of the
machine ready for compression.
Due to the geometrical shape of all hoppers, this powder will flow to the tablet press tooling
system.
Page 19 of 46
Industrial Training Report SEP 2019
Tablet process involves precise filling and compression of powder in the die cavity.
Therefore, the machine should move excess powder that may be the source of any form of
inconsistencies.
At this stage, your rotary tablet press machine should ensure the accurate filling of the die
cavities.
This should include the desired volume and weight of powder that should be compressed into
tablets.
During this process, the lower cam of the turret moves upwards to a predetermined level.
This results in excess powder that is scraped from the die surface.
Page 20 of 46
Industrial Training Report SEP 2019
Normally, the production capacity depends on the size of rotary tablet press machine‟s turret.
In most cases, you may divide turret into the following key sections:
Upper turret; section that holds upper punches Lower turret; part that
holds lower punches Die table; a section that holds dies
With the powder filled in the dies to the right depth, the upper and lower punches begin to
compress the powder.
Normally, the upper and lower punches exert a predetermined amount of pressure that
compresses tablets to the right size and depth.
The pre-compression process removes any traces of air that might be within the powder
particles.
The main compressor exerts significant amount of force that compacts powder to a desired
thickness and hardness. This is due to the pressure that is exerted on the punches by a series
of pressure rolls. Remember, this is a continuous process where the turret moves the in a
rotary manner. Normally, a complete revolution should produce the exact number of tablets
as the number of dies on the turret.
4 Tablet Discharge
At this stage, the upper cams will pull the top punches back to their initial position. On the
other hand, the lower punches are lifted up. As a result, the lower punch pushes the already
processed tablets out of the die cavity. The scraper will then remove the tablet from the
compression machine to the discharge chute. Basically, this will mark the end of one
complete cycle of the tablet compression machine

COATING OF TABLET
Tablet coating can be described as a process of applying an edible paint on the surface of a
pharmaceutical dosage form to achieve specific benefits. This is an additional process in
tableting which causes an increase in the cost of tablet production
Objectives of coating
• To control and sustain the release of the drug from the dosage form.
Page 22 of 46
Industrial Training Report SEP 2019
PROCESS OF COATING
Sugar coating
Tablet coating developed originally from the use of sugar to mask the taste and provide an
attractive appearance to at the core.
Film coating
As the sugar coating process is very time consuming and is dependent on the skills of the
coating operator, this technique has been replaced by film coating technology. The process
involves spraying of a solution of polymer, pigments and plasticizer onto a rotating tablet bed
to form a thin, uniform film on the tablet surface.
The basic requirements for film coating need to be considered independently of the actual
equipment being used. These include the most appropriate means of atomizing the spray
liquid during application, proper mixing and agitation of the tablet bed, and providing enough
drying heat air to evaporation
The tablet to be coated make continuous complicated orbital motion the closed rotating

3. PACKING OF TABLET
Packing is the technology of enclosing or protecting product for distribution, storage, sale,
and use. Packaging is also refers to the process of designing, evaluating, and producing
packages. Packaging can be described as a coordinated system of preparing goods for
transport, warehousing, logistics, sale, and end use. It is sometimes convenient to categorize
packages by layer or functions.

ii. Secondary Packaging
iii. Tertiary Packaging
TYPES OF PACKAGING
Page 24 of 46
Industrial Training Report SEP 2019
Blister Packing:
This is useful for packaging of unit dose of pharmaceuticals. This packing mode has been
used extensively for several good reasons. It is a
packaging configuration capable of providing
excellent environmental protection, coupled with an
aesthetically pleasing and efficacious
appearance. It also provides user functionally in terms
of convenience, child resistance and now
temperature resistance. The blister package is formed
by heat softening a sheet of thermoplastic resin
and vacuum drawing the softened sheets of plastic
into a contoured mould. After coming, the sheet is released from the mould and proceeds to
the filling station of the packaging machine. The semirigid blister previously formed, is filled
with the product and lidded with a heat sealable backing material. The backing material can
be either a push through or peelable type. For a push through type of blister, the backing
material is usually heat seal coated aluminum foil.
Strip Packing:
The strip packing is done by aluminum foil or glassine poly paper. A strip package is formed
by feeding two webs of a heat sealable flexible film through either a heated crimping roller or
a heated reciprocating platen. The product is dropped into the pocket formed prior to forming
the final set of seals. A continuous set of packets is formed, generally several packets wide
depending on the packaging machine’s limitations. The strip of packets is cut to the desired
number of packets in length. The strips formed are usually collected and packed into a
folding carton. The product sealed between the two sheets of film usually has a seal around
each tablet, with perforations usually separating adjacent packets.
Bulk Packing:
The packaging of the final product is done in paper cartons, manually, and is finally sealed
using an automatic sealer. The machine can seal cartons.

The quality in the pharmaceutical industry has become a major concern and there has been a
growing awareness for the significance of the quality of the pharmaceutical products.
The current concept of Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) emphasizes that the quality of
pharmaceutical products must be constructed during the overall process cycle.
Quality Control department plays an important role since it demands the acquisition of
reliable analytical data. Many important decisions are based on the analytical data of quality
control department and it is important to have indication of the quality of these results.
The current Pharmaceutical Industry is facing challenges for the manufacture of Chemical
and Biological drugs for human consumption. Stringent GMPs are being followed for Oral
Drugs (Solid Dosage Form).
This has resulted into improvisation of systematic manufacturing and marketing of safe,
efficacious and qualitative drugs.
Page 26 of 46
Industrial Training Report SEP 2019
With the growth of industry, the legislations from each region have become more and more
complex and created a demand for the need for regulatory professionals to understand and
solve the critical quality control issues in the Pharmaceutical Industries around the globe.
Page 27 of 46
Industrial Training Report SEP 2019
Quality control can be defined as day to day control of quality within the company. They are
responsible for the acceptance or rejection of incoming raw material, packing components
and finished products, for the myriad of in process tests and inspections, to assure that system
are been controlled and monitored for the approval and rejections of complete dosage.

handling in manufacturing, packaging and shipping.
FRIABLITY TEST
Friability (the condition of being Friable) testing is a method, which is employed to determine
physical strength of uncoated tablets upon exposure to mechanical shock and
attrition
Page 33 of 46
Industrial Training Report SEP 2019
DISINTEGRATION TEST
These test is provide to determine whether uncoated or coated tablet disintegrate within a
prescribe time when placed in liquid medium under the prescribed experimental condition
Apparatus
For tablets and capsules of normal size The apparatus consists of a basket-rack assembly, a
1litre beaker, a thermostatic arrangement for heating the fluid and a mechanical device for
raising and lowering the basket in the immersion fluid at a constant frequency rate.
Basket-rack assembly- The basket-rack assembly is rigid and supports six cylindrical glass
tubes, 77.5 ± 2.5 mm long, 21.5 mm in internal diameter and with a wall thickness of about 2
mm (Fig. 2.5.1-1). The tubes are held vertically by two superimposed transparent plastic
plates, 90 ± 2 mm in diameter and 6.75 ± 1.75 mm thick perforated by six holes having the
same diameter as the tubes. The holes are equidistant from the centre of the plate and are
equally spaced from one another. Attached to the underside of the lower plate is a woven
stainless steel wire cloth with a plain square weave with 2.0 ± 0.2 mm mesh apertures and
with a wire diameter of 0.615 ± 0.045 mm. The upper plate is covered with a stainless steel
disc perforated by six holes, each about 24 ± 2 mm in diameter, which fits over the tubes and
holds them between the plastic plates. The holes coincide with those of the upper plastic plate
and the upper open ends of the glass tubes. A suitable means is provided to suspend the
basket-rack assembly from the raising and lowering device using a point on its axis
The plates are held rigidly in position and 77.5 mm apart by vertical metal rods at the
periphery and a metal rod is also fixed to the centre of the upper plate to enable the assembly
to be attached to the device for raising and lowering it smoothly at a constant frequency of
between 28 and 32 cycles per minute through a distance of 50 to 60 mm. The time required
for the upward stroke is equal to the time required for the downward stroke, and the change in
stroke direction should be smooth and not abrupt. There should be no appreciable horizontal
motion or movement of the axis from the vertical. The design of the basket-rack assembly
may be somewhat different provided specifications for the glass tubes and the screen mesh
size are unchanged. Discs A cylindrical disc for each tube, each 20.7 ± 0.15 mm thick in
diameter and 9.5 ± 0.15 mm thick, made of transparent plastic with a relative density of 1.18
to 1.20, and pierced with five holes, each 2 mm in diameter, one in the centre and the other
Page 34 of 46
Industrial Training Report SEP 2019
four spaced equally on a circle of radius 6 mm from the centre of the disc. Four equally
spaced grooves are cut in the lateral surface of the disc in such a way that at the upper surface
of the disc they are 9.5 mm wide and 2.55 mm deep and at the lower surface 1.6 mm.
Medium. The assembly is suspended in the liquid medium in a suitable vessel, preferably a
1litre beaker. The volume of liquid is such that the wire mesh at its highest point is at least 25
mm below the surface of the liquid, and at its lower point is at least 25 mm above the bottom
of the beaker. At no time should the top of the basket rack assembly become submerged.
There is a thermostatic arrangement for heating the liquid and maintaining the temperature at
37º ± 2º.

Component of HPLC :
Pump- The role of the pump is to propel (force) a liquid (the mobile phase) through the
chromatograph at a specific flow rate, expressed in ml/min. flow rates in HPLC are 1-2
ml/min and typical pumps can reach pressures in the range of 2000 – 9000 psi but in
applications covered under UHPLC mode operating pressure can be as high as 15000-18000
psi The normal flow rate stability must be < 1%.
The main types of pumps used in HPLC (or in LC) are the following
Constant Pressure Pumps: Provide consistent continuous flow rate through the column with
the use of pressure from a gas cylinder.
Page 37 of 46
Industrial Training Report SEP 2019
b) Syringe type pumps are suitable for small bore columns. Constant flow rate is delivered to
column by a motorized screw arrangement.
The pump should be inert to solvents, buffer salts and solutes. They are made of stainless
steel, titanium and resistant minerals.
INJECTOR
The sample should be introduced as a plug, without disturbing the column packing. The
injector serves to introduce the liquid sample into the flow stream of the mobile phase.
Typical sample volumes are 5-20 μL. The injector must be able to withstand the high
pressure of the mobile phase. A precolumn, a small removable section of tubing containing
the same packing material as the column, can be used ahead of the analytical column to
protect the latter from contamination. The precolumn also acts as a buffer to prevent
channeling of the packing during injection.
Column
The column is considered the heart of the chromatograph. The success or failure of a
particular analysis depends on the choice of column. The column‟s stationary phase separates
the sample components using various physical and chemical parameters.
• High performance analytical columns [internal diameter (i.d.) 1.0-4.6 mm; lengths 15
–250 mm] - used mainly for qualitative and quantitative analysis
• Preparative columns (i.d.> 4.6 mm; lengths 50 –250 mm) – used mainly for
preparative work
• Capillary columns (i.d. 0.1 -1.0 mm; various lengths)
• Nano columns (i.d.< 0.1 mm)

Columns are packed with small diameter porous particles. Usually the size of the porous
materials used are 1,6 – 5 μm. The column pickings used in liquid/solid chromatography (LC,
HPLC) are silica gel, charcoal and alumina. Most users particles in the column usually have a
chemically bonded phase on their surface which interacts with the sample components to
separate them from one another – for example, C18 is a popular bonded phase. The process
of retention of the sample components is determined by the choice of column packing and the
selection of the mobile phase to push the analytes through the packed column.
INHALER DEPARTMENT
Inhalers: - An inhaler (or puffer) is a medical device used for delivering medication into the
body via the lungs. It is mainly used in the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease.
Metered-dose (MDI):-
Two DPIs of the Turbohaler type, displaying no. of doses remaining (house key for scale)
The most common type of inhaler is the pressurized metered-dose inhaler(MDI). In MDIs,
medication is typically stored in solution in a pressurized canister that contains a propellant,
although it may also be a suspension. The MDI canister is attached to a plastic, hand-operated
actuator. On activation, the metered-dose inhaler releases a fixed dose of medication in
aerosol form. The correct procedure for using an MDI is to first fully exhale, place the

mouth-piece of the device into the mouth, and having just started to inhale at a moderate rate,
depress the canister to release the medicine. The aerosolized medication is drawn into the
lungs by continuing to inhale deeply before holding the breath for 10 seconds to allow the
aerosol to settle onto the walls of the bronchitis and other airways of the lung. Some inhalers
are made to act instantly in case of an asthma attack, and others are made to act later.
Nasal
Nasal inhalers contain decongestant drugs to relieve congestion in the upper respiratory tract.
The active ingredient in most decongestants is either pseudoephedrineor phenylephrine.
Many are solution over the counter without a prescription.
Conductivity meter: conductivity meters and sensors combine high accuracy and precision
with ease of use and low maintenance. Truly the right choice for a wide range of applications
for both in-line and off-line measurements.

Accurate Results
OptiMelt uses a platinum RTD sensor and makes temperature measurements to 400 °C with
0.1°C resolution. It is easily calibrated in the field against certified reference standards and
complies with modern Pharmacopeia protocols. The instrument remembers the date of the
last calibration which is included in all reports.
The OptiMelt system is unique among melting point analyzers. It has a built-in,
highresolution digital camera to capture real-time images of the samples. It then uses digital
image processing to determine phase transitions in the samples.
