Since it’s unexpected, unplanned, and usually leads to rushed, emergency repairs, It’s often called “fighting fires.” Run to fail maintenance Run to fail maintenance is very similar to reactive maintenance. It involves letting a piece of equipment run until it b ... Read More

Waiting until tablet presses or other pieces of pharmaceutical equipment break down can be a costly mistake. Instead of waiting for malfunctions or unexpected incidents that may halt or decrease production, manufacturing facility managers should implement consistent preventative maintenance procedures. Daily inspections and regular tune-ups can maintain tablet presses in like-new condition and reduce irregular contact wear, noises, and process malfunctions. Regular preventative maintenance also ensures that tablets are produced according to exact physical and chemical param ... Read More

Imagine waiting at the pharmacist’s as your prescription gets filled up. The guy filling your prescription smiles as he counts… One, two, three, four, five… while at the same time trying to maintain eye contact with you. He drops each successive pill inside a small package where he writes ‘3 times a day for 10 days’ on the label.

The beginning of the work process is that the bottle is fed to the labelling machine at a constant speed on the conveyor. The mechanical fixture separates the bottles a fixed distance and pushes the bottle in the direction of the conveyor. The mechanical system of the labeler includes a drive wheel, a labeling wheel, and a reel. The drive wheel intermittently drags the label belt to move, the label tape is pulled out of the spool, and the label wheel is pressed against the bottle by the labeling wheel. An open-loop displacement control is used on the reel to maintain the te ... Read More

Manufacturers and consumers both like to see polished and shiny capsules. Capsules covered in dust from the drug product formulation look unappealing and may have an unpleasant taste. The dust can also cause problems with bottling and blister packaging equipment and require excessive housekeeping in capsule-filling and packaging areas. Capsule polishers can eliminate these problems by cleaning the outside of the capsules as they exit the capsule filler. Pharmaceutical manufacturers originally filled capsules manually and then wiped the capsules with a polishing cloth to phy ... Read More

Capsules are the dosage forms in which the drug formulation in a powder, semisolid, or liquid form is enclosed in a shell.
