Numerous businesses require the use of dryers, including those in the food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical, paper, pollution control, and farming industries, to name a few. Many industries require drying services because of the need to process a wide variety of materials, from chemicals used in research and medicine to construction materials. Before purchasing new pharmaceutical drying equipment, it is crucial to have a firm grasp on operational needs and capacity requirements. Vendors like VJ Instruments that have earned a solid reputation in the industry can be relied upon to provide invaluable insight into the various options for meeting your needs and the technologies that best fit them.

However, blending and mixing have always played a crucial role in the production of pharmaceuticals. Formulating the right pharmaceutical product with the right composition relies heavily on the mixing/blending of content. Blending and mixing are crucial processes in the pharmaceutical industry, and primary mixing equipment like a ball mill or double cone blender are essential for this. We'll discuss the function of the ball mill in the pharmaceutical industry, as well as the importance of other drying and mixing/blending machines, such as the fluid bed dryer and the double cone blender.

 

Dryers.

A dryer is a device that uses evaporation, sublimation, or fluidization to remove liquids or moisture from a solid, powder, part, continuous sheet, or other liquid. The product is heated convectively by coming into direct contact with heated air, gas, or a combusted gas product in a direct dryer like an fluid bed processor.

The fluid bed dryer, or Fbd for short.

The fluid bed dryer has a simple operation. Air from the surrounding environment is sucked in and filtered before being blown across the heating elements and through the perforated plate and into the removable drying container. By being lifted into the air and spread out, the solid particles are kept in discrete groups. Caking and sticking are prevented as a result of this. The fluid bed dryer's air stream removes moisture from the particles before escaping through the cover's filter bag.

The fbd fluid bed dryer is used in QC, sample prep, and R&D and is manufactured by VJ Instruments. With this method, pharmaceutical bulk materials can be dried gently without experiencing any hot spots. Coarse, fine, crystalline, fibrous, and leafy materials are all acceptable. The final product is dried, loosened up, and thoroughly mixed with the help of the fbd fluid bed dryer, all in a relatively short amount of time. The fluidized bed is mixed even more thoroughly with the interval operation. You can continuously regulate the drying time, air volume, and temperature with the help of a PLC and HMI.

 

Ball mill in pharmaceutics

Grinding and mixing materials for use in mineral processing, paints, pyrotechnics, ceramics, and selective laser sintering are both performed in ball mills.

The ball mill has found application in the pharmaceutical industry for both the grinding of crystalline material and the mixing of dry and wet ingredients. The principle of impact and attrition is at work here, with the balls being shrunk by impact as they fall from a high point on the shell. The final grinding of drugs or the milling of suspensions is both tasks that are best accomplished in a small to medium-capacity ball mill used in the pharmaceutical industry. Grinding ores into powder form in high-capacity ball mills is a prerequisite process for making pharmaceutical chemicals.

There are many ways in which a ball mill can improve pharmaceutical production over other methods. It can be operated in either a batch or continuous fashion, and materials of varying hardnesses can be ground successfully. Additionally, the cost of installation and grinding medium is low. VJ Instruments' pharmaceutical ball mill boasts several features, including an emergency stop switch and an auto stop function when the processing time expires.

 

Blending.

When new excipients are added to the blend, the blending process can be repeated multiple times within the manufacturing process. The healthcare, food, chemical, cosmetic, detergent, fertilizer, and plastics industries are just a few that utilize mixing as a standard manufacturing process step. It is possible to make perfectly uniform solid-solid mixtures with the double-cone blender. Powder blending is an important process in the manufacture of pharmaceutical solid dosage forms. Typically, the API is a powder that is combined with other powders (excipients) to create tablets. If you need to combine powders in an even fashion, look no further than the reliable and flexible Double Cone Blender. The optimal homogeneity is achieved with an effective volume of 35%-70% of the gross volume. The conical shape and elongated plane at both ends of the double-cone blender facilitate uniform mixing and simple discharge.
