Pharmaceutical cream/ointment production equipment is a complete set of equipment. It involves emulsifying mixer, storage tank, metal tube filling sealing machine, etc. All the devices should meet the process requirements of hygiene, emulsification, filling, packaging, etc. The following is a detailed introduction to key equipment and production processes:
Core production equipment
1)Preprocessing equipment
-Raw material storage tank: made of stainless steel (304 or 316L) with stirring and temperature control functions, used for storing oil and water phase raw materials.
-Heating system: Electric heating or steam heating to ensure the melting (such as wax, oil) or dissolution (such as moisturizer) of raw materials.
2)Emulsification system (core equipment)
Vacuum Homogenizer Emulsifying Mixer:
-Main tank: equipped with interlayer heating/cooling, vacuum state to avoid bubbles.
-Homogenization head: high shear emulsification (rotation speed up to 2900rpm), particle size can reach micrometer level.
-Stirring Paddle: Slow stirring to prevent stratification.
Vacuum pump: Vacuum to -0.05~-0.09MPa to reduce oxidation and microbial risks.
Type: Batch production
3)Filling machine
In most cases, many pharmaceutical factories use metal tube/aluminum tube to fill in the ointment/cream. So the metal/aluminum tube filling sealing machine is a need. You can check the following working video to see the tube filling sealing machine work.
