9. 2) MANUFACTURING SECTION
!
Pharmaceutical manufacturing is the process of industrial scale synthesis of
pharmaceutical drug by pharmaceutical companies.The process can be broken
down into a series of unit operations such as milling, drying, compression, and
coating.
!
The primary goals of manufacturing section includes :-
i. To formulate tablets that are strong and hard to withstand mechanical shock
encountered during manufacturing, packing, shipping, dispensing and use.
ii. To formulate tablets that are uniform in weight and in drug content.
iii. To formulate tablets that are bioavailable according to indication requirements.
iv. To formulate tablets that are chemically and physically stable over a long
period of time.
v. To formulate tablets that have elegant product identity which is free from any
tablet defects.
The manufacturing section have different sub division and these are as described
below :
a.Granulation Section
b.Blending Section
c.Compression Section
d.Coating Section
!
a. Granulation Section
Granulation is a process of collecting particles together by creating bonds between
them and these bonds are formed by compression or by using a binding agent.A
process whereby small particles gathered into large, permanent masses in which
the original particles can still be identified.
Granulation process will improve flow and compression, characteristics, reduce
segregation, improve content uniformity, and eliminate excessive amounts of fine
particles. The results will be improved yields, reduced tablet defects, increased
productivity, and reduced down time.
The equipments used in the process of Granulation are :-
i) Mass Mixer
3

10. ii) Tray Dryer
iii) FBD (Fluidized Bed Drier)
iv) Multi-mill
v) Roll Compactor
!
i) Mass Mixer
Mass Mixer is designed to perform smooth operations for thorough mixing
equipped with safety transparent dust cover & specially designed self-adjusting
sealing arrangement, which ensures the restriction of black particles enter the
mixing drum. Mass Mixer is Ideal for dry & wet uniform mixing of materials.
Mass Mixer is available in sizes ranging from 5 Kg to 300 Kg as per GMP &
cGMP models.

Fig 5:- Mass Mixer
ii) Tray Dryer
A dryer used for drying of the wet products like crude drugs, chemicals, powders
or the granules, etc. is known as Tray dryer.
The material which we want to dry is dispersed on the tiers of the trays. The tray,
which is used in this process must have perforated, solid or wire mesh bottoms. For
the circulation of the air across the drying materials, we lined the screen trays with
paper. A limited amount of heat is provided to every shelf at that time when the
4

11. wind passes over it to provide the latent heat of vaporization. This kind of dryers
provides proper control of humidity and temperature.
!
Fig 6:-Tray Dryer
iii) FBD (Fluidized Bed Dryer)
Fluidized (fluid) bed dryers are used extensively in the pharmaceutical industries to
reduce moisture content of pharmaceutical powder and granules. They have also
found use in the drying of suspension, slurries, solutions, dilute paste or sludges.
!
A typical fluidized bed dryer consists of the following components.
• Air preparatory unit.
• Product container.
• Exhaust filter.
• Exhaust blower.
• Control panel.
• Air distribution plate.
• Spray nozzle.
• Solution deliver.
!
In fluidized bed dryer, hot air is passed at high pressure through a perforated
bottom of the container containing the wet solids. The wet solids are lifted from the
5

12. bottom and suspended in a stream of air (fluidized state). The hot air then
surrounds every granules. Heat transfer is accomplished by direct contact between
the wet solid and hot gases. The vaporized liquid is carried away by the drying
gasses.
Fig 7:- Fluidized Bed Dryer
iv) Multi-mill
Multi Mill is used in different functions involving wet & dry granulation ,
pulvenisation etc. of Pharmaceutical, Chemical, Bulk drug, Cosmetic, Colors.Food
products etc. The Industrial Multi Mill consists of stainless steel hopper, processing
chamber with beater assembly, Motor, DOL stater, three speed pulley, screen and
study body.
Fig 8:- Multi-mill

13. v) Roll Compactor
Roller Compactors are used to force fine powders between two counter rotating
rolls and presses the raw materials into a solid compact (flakes, sheets, strips). Roll
Compacters are also called dry granulators.
!
Principle:-
A roller compactor generally consists of three major units.
1) A feeding system, which converts the powder to the compaction area between
the rolls.
2) A compaction unit, where powder is compacted between two counter rotating
rolls to a ribbon by applying a force.
3) A size reduction unit, for milling the ribbons to the desired particle size.
!
The most important parameter in the dry granulation process is the force applied on
the powder compacted between two rolls. The applied force is expressed in kN/cm,
being the force per cm roll width.
Fig 9:- Roll Compactor
b. Blending Section
Blending is a process which mixes the API and excipients to ensure there is a
homogeneous mixture of the all ingredients for each manufacturing process.
Blending is a process that can be carried out numerous times within a
manufacturing process when new excipients need to be added.
!
Blending is carried out by the help of Blender.
!
!

c. Compression Section
Tablet compression machine makes the tablets by pressing the granules in die with
lower and upper punch.
Different innovations to tablet compression machines are being done to improve
the production rates and now it is possible to produce more than 500,000 tablets
per hour. A tablet formation takes place by the combined pressing action of two
punches and a die.

15. The basic principle behind the tablet compression machine is hydraulic pressure.
This pressure is transmitted unreduced through the static fluid. Any externally
applied pressure is transmitted via static fluid to all the directions in the same
proportion. It also makes it possible to multiply the force as needed.
The tablet compression procedure that is used in different pharmaceutical
companies is divided into four distinct stages.These are:-
i) Filling
ii) Metering
iii) Compression
iv) Ejection
d. Coating Section
Coating is a process by which an essentially dry, outer layer of coating material is
applied to the surface of a dosage form in order to confer specific benefits over
uncoated variety.
!
Coating may be applied to a wide range of oral solid dosage form, such as
particles, powders, granules, crystals, pellets and tablets. When coating
composition is applied to a batch of tablets in a coating pan, the tablet surfaces
become covered with a tacky polymeric film.

Tablets should be subjected to a number of tests before they are deemed fit for
marketing and consumption.
The tests that are performed during manufacturing process are as follows:-
a. Shape and Size of Tablets
b. Weight Variation Test
c. Friability Test
d. Hardness Test
e. Disintegration Test
f. Dissolution Test
!
a. Shape and Size of Tablets
It can be dimensionally described monitoring and checked visually the tablet shape
is Round, Elongated, Triangular, Oval, etc
Tablet diameter and thickness can be measured by Vernier Calipers.
Tablet thickness should be controlled within a range of ± 5%.
b. Weight Variation Test
Weigh individually 20 units selected at random and calculate the average weight.
Not more than two of the individual weights deviates from the average weight by
more than the percentage given in the pharmacopeia and none deviates by more
than twice that percentage.
!
Table 1:- Weight Variation Limit according to IP, BP & USP
IP/BP Limit USP
80 mg or less ± 10% 130mg or less
More than 80mg or
Less than 250mg
± 7.5% 130mg to 324mg
250mg or more ± 5% More than
324mg
13

20. c. Friability Test
Friability testing is a method, which is employed to determine physical strength of
uncoated tablets upon exposure to mechanical shock and attrition.
In this test 20 tablets are used, the rotation is 25 RPM per minutes and is done for 4
minutes.
The tablets fall down from 6 inches height.The % weight loss should not be more
than 1%.
Percentage Friability = W1 – W2/W1 × 100
Where, W1 = weight of tablets before testing
W2 = weight of tablets after testing.
Fig 16:- Friability Test Apparatus
d. Hardness Test
Tablet hardness testing is a kind of laboratory technique, which is employed to test
breaking point of a tablet. For pharmaceutical units this process is an important
part of medicine production that ensures tablets must be hard enough to withstand
mechanical stress during various conditions such as storage and packaging,
transportation and handling by the consumer etc.
There are two types of Hardness Tester:-
i) Monsanto Hardness Tester
ii) Pfizer Hardness Tester

23. 5) GMP REQUIREMENTS
Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is a system for ensuring that products are
consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards.
It is designed to minimize the risks involved in any pharmaceutical production that
cannot be eliminated through testing the final product.
A product that conforms to GMP guidelines is considered to be of high quality and
will pose no risk to consumers or the general public.
!
a. PRODUCTION
Principle
Production operations must follow clearly defined procedures; they must comply
with the principles of Good Manufacturing Practice in order to obtain products of
the requisite quality and be in accordance with the relevant manufacturing and
marketing authorizations.
General
1) Production should be performed and supervised by competent people.
2) All handling of materials and products, such as receipt and quarantine,
sampling, storage, labeling, dispensing, processing, packaging and distribution
should be done in accordance with written procedures or instructions and
should be recorded.
3) All incoming materials should be checked to ensure that the consignment
corresponds to the order. Containers should be cleaned where necessary and
labelled with the prescribed data.
4) Damage to containers and any other problem which might adversely affect the
quality
5) Incoming materials and finished products should be physically or
administratively quarantined immediately after receipt or processing, until they
have been released for use or distribution.
!
b. QUALITY CONTROL
Principle
Quality Control is concerned with sampling, specifications and testing as well as
the organization, documentation and release procedures which ensure that the
necessary and relevant tests are carried out, and that materials are not released for
17

24. use, nor products released for sale or supply, until their quality has been judged
satisfactory. Quality Control is not confined to laboratory operations, but must be
involved in all decisions which may concern the quality of the product. The
independence of Quality Control from Production is considered fundamental to the
satisfactory operation of Quality Control.
General
1) Each holder of a manufacturing authorization should have a Quality Control
Department. This department should be independent from other departments,
and under the authority of a person with appropriate qualifications and
experience, who has one or several control laboratories at his disposal.
2) The Quality Control Department as a whole will also have other duties, such as
to establish, validate and implement all quality control procedures.
3) Finished product assessment should embrace all relevant factors, including
production conditions, results of in-process testing, a review of manufacturing
(including packaging) documentation, compliance with Finished Product
Specification and examination of the final finished pack.
4) Quality Control personnel should have access to production areas for sampling
and investigation as appropriate
5) Control Laboratory premises and equipment should meet the general and
specific requirements for Quality Control areas.
6) The personnel, premises, and equipment in the laboratories should be
appropriate to the tasks imposed by the nature and the scale of the
manufacturing operations. The use of outside laboratories, in conformity with
the principles detailed under Contract Analysis, can be accepted for particular
reasons, but this should be stated in the Quality Control records.
!
c. PACKAGING INSTRUCTIONS
There should be formally authorized Packaging Instructions for each product for
pack size and type. These should normally include, or have a reference to, the
following:
1) Name of the product.
2) Description of its pharmaceutical form, and strength where applicable.
3) The pack size expressed in terms of the number, weight or volume of the
product in the final container.
18

25. 4) A complete list of all the packaging materials required for a standard batch size,
including quantities, sizes and types, with the code or reference number relating
to the specifications of each packaging material.
5) Where appropriate, an example or reproduction of the relevant printed
packaging materials, and specimens indicating where to apply batch number
references, and shelf-life of the product.
6) Special precautions to be observed, including a careful examination of the area
and equipment in order to ascertain the line clearance before operations begin.
7) A description of the packaging operation, including any significant subsidiary
operations, and equipment to be used.
8) Details of in-process controls with instructions for sampling and acceptance
limits.
!
d. STERILE PHARMACEUTICAL MANUFACTURING
Maintenance of sterile area is a critical task because of air, as well as the personnel
working in the sterile classified area, are the main source of the contamination.
Following are some good manufacturing practice points those shall help in the
maintenance of sterile area.
1) Precautions to minimize contamination should be taken during all processing
stages, including the stages of sterilization.
2) Preparations containing live microorganisms should not be made or containers
filled in areas used for the processing of other pharmaceutical products;
however, vaccines consisting of dead organisms or of bacterial extracts may be
dispensed into containers, after validated inactivation and validated cleaning
procedures, in the same premises as other sterile pharmaceutical products.
3) The validation of aseptic processing should include simulating the process
using a nutrient medium. The form of the nutrient medium used should
generally be equivalent to the dosage form of the product. The process-
simulation test should imitate as closely as possible the routine aseptic
manufacturing process and include all the critical subsequent manufacturing
steps.
4) Care should be taken to ensure that any validation does not compromise the
processes.
19

26. 5) Activities in clean areas, especially when aseptic operations are in progress,
should be kept to a minimum, and the movement of personnel should be
controlled and methodical, so as to avoid excessive shedding of particles and
organisms due to over-vigorous activity. The ambient temperature and
humidity should not be uncomfortably high because of the nature of the
garments worn.
6) The presence of containers and materials liable to generate fibers should be
minimized in clean areas and avoided completely when aseptic work is in
progress.

32. 7) BATCH MANUFACTURING RECORD (BMR)
Batch manufacturing record is a written document of the batch, prepared during
pharmaceutical manufacturing process. It contains actual data and step by step
process for manufacturing each batch.
This ensures that proper ingredients are added and each processing step is
completed according to the SOP and also ensures uniformity in finished product in
each batch.
A good batch manufacturing record format should include following parts:-
a.Batch records
Batch records include master production and control records (MPCR) and batch
production and control records (BPCR). MPCR includes name of the product,
name and codes of API, batch formula, batch or code no., identification of
equipment, line and location used, start and finishing date with processing and
packaging.
!
b. Bill of Material
Complete list of raw materials needed for manufacturing the finished product with
required quantity and weight.
!
c. General instruction for manufacturing
Clear instructions related to safety and health of operators, should be followed
during the manufacturing process.
!
d. Equipment cleaning record
Checklist for the cleaning of all equipments used in the manufacturing of the batch
with the previous product, batch and date of cleaning.
!
e. Yield
Yield of the batch should be calculated at the end of every stage to calculate the
process loss. Final yield should be calculated at the end of the manufacturing that
should not be less than 99.00%.
!
f. Abbreviations
List of the abbreviations used in the batch manufacturing records (BMR) should
be made to understand easily.

40. 8) ANALYSIS RECORD
!
• ASSAY OF PARACETAMOL TABLETS
Paracetamol is a para-aminophenol derivative with analgesic and antipyretic
properties.It is widely used in several formulations and pharmaceutical
presentations that are intended to optimize the use of the medication by good
absorption and reduction of secondary effects.
The test formulation allows a more rapid dissolution of the active principal
ingredient (paracetamol), which is intended to lead to a more rapid absorption.
• Procedure:-
1) Weigh and powder 20 tablets.
2) Take a quantity of the powder equivalent to 0.15 g of paracetamol 20 tablets *
0.5g paracetamol wt 0.15 g paracetamol X
3) Place in a volumetric flask (200ml)
4) Add 50 ml 0.1 M NaOH(using a burette)
5) Dilute with 100 ml of water, shake for 15 minutes, and add sufficient water to
produce 200 ml. Mix, and filter
6) Dilute 10 ml of the filtrate to 100 ml with water (in a volumetric flask 100ml).
7) Add 10ml of the resulting solution to 10 ml of 0.1 M NaOH, dilute to 100 ml
with water (in a volumetric flask 100ml)
8) Measure the absorbance of the resulting solution at max = 257 nm taking 0.715
as the value of E1%
Blank:
Take 20 ml of 0.1 M NaOH and complete to 100 ml with water
Limit:
Content: 95-105% of the prescribed (labeled) amount.

41. 9) CONCLUSION
During Industrial training period, a lot of experience, knowledge and exposure that
I have handy . All disclosures were awaken myself in a boost of self- confidence to
face life more challenging now. Practical is a complement to the science or theory
learned. This is clearly the concept of science and charity, where they have learned
without practice will be lost and will not give anything.
!
During my industrial training, there are many changes from the point of learning
environments and discussion among colleagues. It can directly increase the
dedication and rational attitude toward myself.
!
However, there are still some weaknesses that can be improved in the future.
Therefore I conclude that the industrial training program has provided many
benefits to students even if there are minor flaws that are somewhat disfiguring
condition , so that this weakness can be rectified in the future.
!
I can conclude that this industry is through training I received a lot of exposure in
the Pharmacy world. I would like to thank all student for find their own experience
with having Industrial Training like this.
