pellets can be defined as multi particulate system or multiunit system
They are spherical particulates manufactured by agglomeration of the powder granules containing drug substance and excipients.
Pellets can be prepared by a special technique called Pelletization.
This technique is referred to an agglomeration process that convert fine powder or granules of bulk drug or excipient in to small , free flowing , spherical or semi spherical pellets .
Multi particular drug delivery system especially suitable for achieving controlled delay released oral formulation with low risk of dose dumping, flexibility of blending to attain different release patterns as well as reproducible and short gastric residence time.
Multi particulate drug delivery system are mainly oral dosage form consisting of a multiplicity of small discrete units each exhibiting some desire characteristics.
In the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, encapsulation refers to a range of dosage forms—techniques used to enclose medicines—in a relatively stable shell known as a capsule, allowing them to, for example, be taken orally or be used as suppositories. The two main types of capsules are:
Hard-shelled capsules, which contain dry, powdered ingredients or miniature pellets made by e.g. processes of extrusion or spheronization. These are made in two halves: a smaller-diameter “body” that is filled and then sealed using a larger-diameter “cap”.
Soft-shelled capsules, primarily used for oils and for active ingredients that are dissolved or suspended in oil.

This presentation deals with the coating of tablets including the coating equipments and the types of coatings along with their advantages and disadvantages.
Filtration is any of various mechanical, physical or biological operations that separate solids from fluids by adding a medium through which only the fluid can pass. The fluid that passes through is called the filtrate.
explained about
Factors Affecting Filtration
Rate of filteration
Filter media
Classification of filter media
Industrial filters
A- Gravity filters. B- Vacuum filters
C- Pressure filters. D- Centrifugal filters.
Pharmaceutical film coating is considered a key part in the production of solid pharmaceutical dosage forms since it gives superior organoleptic properties products. In addition, it can improve the physical and chemical stability of dosage forms, and modify the release characteristics of the drug. Several troubleshooting problems such as twinning mottling, chipping, etc., may arise during or after or even during the shelf life of the film coated dosage forms. These troubleshooting problems may be due to tablet core faults, coating formulation faults and/or coating process faults. These problems must be overcome to avoid unnecessary product problems. Film coating as well as other parts of the pharmaceutical technology is subjecting to continuous innovation. The innovation may be at different levels including pharmaceutical excipients, processes, software, guidelines and equipment. In fact, of particular note is the growing interest in process analytical technology, quality by design, continuous coating processing and the inclusion of new ready for use coating formulations. In this review, we tried to explore and discuss the status of pharmaceutical film coating, the challenges that face this manufacturing process and the latest technological advances in this important manufacturing process.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. DEFINATION OF PELLETIZATION
• Pelletization is an agglomeration process that converts fine powders
or granules of bulk drug and excipients into small, free flowing,
spherical or semi-spherical units, referred to as pellets.
• Pellets range in size, typically between 0.5-1.5mm
3
5. ADVANTAGES
• Pellets disperse freely in the gastrointestinal tract, they
invariably maximize drug absorption, reduce peak plasma
fluctuation and minimize potential side effects without
appreciably lowering drug bioavailability
• Pellets also reduce variation in gastric emptying rate and overall
transit time
• Intra and inter subject variability of plasma prophile which are
common with single unit regimen are minimized
• High oral concentration of bio-active agent which are
inherently be irritative or anesthetic can be avoided.
• pellets are less susceptible to dose dumping than the reservoir
type single unit formulation
5
6. USES
• To deliver the bioactive agents at a specific sites within the
gastrointestinal tract
• Sustain the action of drug over an extended period of time
6
7. MECHANISM OF PELLET FORMATION
A] Bonding mechanism
1] Attraction between solid particles
Attractive forces are short range forces that causes
solid particle adhere together only if they are
brought close enough together
These forces diminishes as the size of particle or
inter-particle distance increases
Attractive forces may be molecular ( valence & van
der waals ), electrostatic or magnetic in nature
7
8. 2 ] interfacial forces and capillary pressure in movable liquid
surface
In wet agglomeration the liquid phase in system initially
generate the cohesive forces between the particles
When liquid is added part of void space in randomly packed
material is filled with liquid to form discrete lens like ring
forming agglomerate, this known as pendular state
Capillary state is reached when all void space within the
agglomerate is completely filled with liquid
In between pendular and capillary state there exist a
funicular state in which liquid bridge containing gas & pores
filled with liquid are present
In droplet state liquid completely envelopes the
agglomerate. The primary particles are held together by
surface tension of droplet.
8
10. 3 ] Adhesional & cohesional forces in bonding
bridges that are not freely movable
viscous binder & thin adsorption layer provide bonds that are based
on immobile liquid bridges.
Highly viscous binder adhere to surface of solid particle to generate
strong bond.
10
11. 4 ] solid bridges
It largely determines the strength of final cured or dried product.
Different mechanisms are as below
a) Crystallization of dissolved substances
b) Hardening binders
c) Kelting
d) Sintering & chemical reaction
This indicates that solid bridges formed at high pressure &
temperature.
11
12. 5 ] Mechanical interlocking
It may occurs during agitation & compression
of fibrous, flat shaped and bulky particles
It is minor contributor to pellet strength
12
13. ELEMETARY GROWTH MECHANISMS
A. Nucleation :-in this primary particles are drawn together
to form three phase air-water-solid nuclei. The particles
are held together by liquid bridges.
B. Coalescence :- the formation of large size particles
following random collision of well formed nuclei
C. Layering :- it is an successive addition of material on
already formed nuclei. Material added may be dry or
moister
D. Abrasion transfer :- it involves the transfer of material
from one particle to another without any preference in
either direction
E. Size reduction :- well formed particle may undergo size
reduction due to attrition, breakage and shatter
13
14. PELLET FORMATION & GROWTH
1 ] balling
This mechanism occurs mainly in rotating drum, Pan
or disc
a) nucleation
b) Transition
c) ball growth
14
15. 2 ] drug layering
Pelletization by layering involves the deposition of
successive layers of drug entities from solution,
suspension or dry powder on preformed nuclei which
may be crystals, granules or starter seeds.
Solution / suspension layering
Powder layering
15
16. 3 ] compaction
It is a form of pressure agglomeration in which drug particles or
granules are formed together with or without formulation aids by a
mechanical forces to generate pellets of well defined shape or size.
It can be subdivided into compression & extrusion.
16
17. 4 ] globulation
It is a process where hot melts, solutions or suspensions are atomized
to generate spherical particles or pellets.
In globulation, atomization produces solid particles directly from the
liquid phase through evaporation or cooling & subsequent solidification
of hot melts , solutions or suspensions.
This occurs by spray drying & spray congeling.
17
19. COATING PANS
1 ] CONVENTIONAL COATING PANS
Advantages
Less expensive
Versatile in that both drug layering & pellet coating are possible
Disadvantages
Higher labor cost, longer processing time & lower yields
Lack of process control
19
20. Rotating pans
Pear, hexagonal, angular,
spherical, elliptical & do-nut
shaped pans are available with
size ranging from 6-90 inches in
diameter
Pellet movement is best
described as cascading with
maximum turbulence in the
center of load. Dead spots can
form at the back & front of the
pan & it is not uncommon to
see large particle riding along
the perimeter of the pan.
20
21. Air supply system
Equipped with both drying & exhaust air lines.
Hot air is used to facilitate solvent evaporation, to dry the
pellets between spray interval.
Supply air duct should be positioned close to the bottom of
cascading bed.
The exhaust dust should be situated in upper third of pan.
Exhaust flow rate should be maintained at a fixed level such as
450-650 CFM. The flow rate shall be at least twice the drying
airflow rate.
Air exchange in a conventional pan can be improved by use of
strunck immersion tube or glatt immersion sword process
21
22. Spray system
Solution or suspension may be sprayed into the pan
either by pneumatic (air spray) or hydraulic (airless
spray).
Pneumatic system.
Hydraulic system.
Variety of spray pattern is possible depending upon
design of the spray gun nozzle. The gun should be
positioned so that spray is applied perpendicular to
moving bed. The distance of 9-12 inches from the bed
is optimum.
22
23. Powder delivery system
Accurate feeding of active & or dusting powder is a vital part
of many Pelletization process
Two major types are feeders used in conjunction with
coating pans, volumetric & weight feeder.
Volumetric feeders are designed to deliver a precise volume
of powder per unit of time
Weight feeders or loss-in-weight feeders have a counter
balanced scale under the base of feeder that measures the
weight loss during powder delivery.
Regardless of the type of delivery, it may be necessary to
add the glidant such as silicon dioxide to the powder to
prevent rat-holding or bridging in the feeder.
23
24. Operational capabilities
Conventional pans are used for one or more of the
following step in Pelletization
Addition of drug as a dry powder onto an inert
substrate
Formation of pellets starting from dry drug
granules or crystals
Addition of drug into a form of solution or
suspension onto an inert substrate
Addition of an outer controlled release layer to
drugs – layered pellets
24
25. Modified pans
Modified pans are much more efficient than conventional
pans due to improved air flow &superior bed mixing.
Modified pans can be used successfully for pellet coating.
Special features such as reversible airflow system, self
contained cleaning & air handling system and automated
product discharge system are available in many units
Explosion proof pneumatic control panel, microprocessor
system & complete spray system are standard features in
most of the modified pans.
25
26. Modified Conventional Coating Pans
Pellegrini coating pan
It features an angular pan that is rotated
on a horizontal axis.
Two types of air handling system are
available
In GC system hot, filtered air is blown
from back of the pan through bed & is
exhausted by means of two immersion
swords.
In PLC system drying air is partially blown
over the surface of bed & partially inside
the bed through a tube.
26
27. ACCELA-COTA.
It differ from pellegrini pan in that he
periphery of the pan is completely
perforated.
The drying air enter from above & is
exhausted through a stationary
plenum that almost covers the entire
bed.
The pans are equipped with two to
six baffles depending upon the size.
27
28. HI-COATER
• It is based on a design that has four
perforated segments each located at
90° to one another in the cylindrical
region of the pan.
• Each of these perforated sections acts
as the opening to an exhaust air.
• The 2mm perforations can be covered
by screens to allow for pellet coating .
28
29. DRIACOATER
• Driacoater introduces drying air
through hollow perforated ribs
located on the inside periphery of
the drum.
• As the coating pan rotates, the ribs
into the bed, and drying air passes
up through the fluidizes the bed.
• Exhaust is from the back of the pan.
29
30. GLATT PAN-COATING EQUIPMENT
It is similar to accela-
cota .
Angular pan has
perforations completely
around the periphery.
4 mm perforations can
be covered by screen to
allow for pellet coating
operation
30
31. DUMOULIN COATER
These are latest modified pans.
They have perforation drum like
accela-cota.
Drying air can be introduced
from the top & or bottom & is
exhausted out the top.
31
32. FLUID BED EQUIPMENT
The introduction of expansion space between the product container
& the filter chamber & the inclusion of a liquid spray nozzle in that
space give rise to fluid bed agglomeration.
32
34. Air handling system
Air handling unit can be designed to provide control over the temperature &
humidity of the process airstream result in improved reproducibility.
The most generally accepted mean for producing airflow in fluidized bed
machine is suction.
34
35. Conditioning of process air
a) Simplest air handler:-includes prefilters & simple heat
exchanger with modulating steam value to control heating
medium
b) Face & bypass system:- this employs a set of dampers that
permit mixing of the airstream passing over the heat
exchanger with a bypass air stream
c) Dehumidification:- humidity of the system adjusted to
maximum desired level.
d) Humidification:- when combined with dehumidifier absolute
control is attained over the dew point of the process
airstream.
e) Bypass loop:- it allows the process air to bypass the product
until it reaches preset temperature & humidity parameters.
35
36. Product processing components
1 ] fluid bed dryers
Consists of product container to hold the unfluidized product , an
expansion zone into which product may be fluidized & filter section to
separate entrained particles of product from exiting process air stream.
As product dries more & more fine particle will be trapped in the
exhaust air filters and so the expansion space should be high enough to
minimize the no. of filter cleaning cycle during batch.
36
38. 2 ] fluid bed granulator
Expansion space is increased over the 50% of the height of dryer
expansion chamber.
Most significant difference is addition of liquid spray nozzle in expansion
area. Binding liquid is sprayed in a controlled rate to convert fluidized
powder into pellets
Product container should be deeper & narrower than FBD.
A product temperature sensing device is important in granulating
processes.
38
40. 3 ] fluid bed top spray coater
It is a method for applying liquid material in a
counter-current manner to the fluidized particles or
pellets.
Spray nozzle is located lower in the expansion
chamber so that liquid is applied to the when a
particle are moving at a high velocity. It inhibit surface
wetting & particle agglomeration.
Major difference with FBD is filter & its clearing
mechanism.
In coating operation it is prepherable not to interrupt
fluidization. So coaters are normally equipped with
multiple filters.
40
42. 4 ] fluid bed bottom spray ( wurster ) coaters
The wurster coating chamber is cylindrical in shape &
contains an inner cylindrical partition normally one half
the diameter of outer chamber.
The liquid spray nozzle is located in center of orifice plate
& the partition is positioned above the plate to allow
movement of material from outside the partition to the
higher velocity airstream located inside the partition.
This design creates a very organized flow of product with
upward motion through the partition into the expansion
area & a downbed of particle in a near weightless
suspension outside the partition.
There are three types of design as type1,2 &3.
42
44. Exhaust air systems
1 ] outlet air filters
Selection of filter should be such that, maximum
retention of product & sufficient permeability to
permit adequate airflow.
2 ] exhaust fan or turbines
Usually turbines are fixed external to the building to
prevent inside noise & asses for maintenance & in
controlling discharge of turbines.
In case of particulates fluid dust collector may be
required.
44
45. Liquid spray nozzles
1 ] hydraulic nozzles
Commonly used in film coating especially when volatile organic
solvents are involved.
Droplet size is a function of nozzle orifice size, spray rate &
liquid line pressure.
2 ] ultrasonic nozzles
liquid is supplied at low pressure & droplet are formed by
ultrasonic frequency at the discharge tip of the nozzle. This
frequency is a function of nozzle design & power source
3 ] air atomizing nozzles
it uses air pressure & volume to produce droplets from liquid
that is supplied at low pressure.
The advantage is ability to control droplet size independently
of flow rate.
45
46. Product discharge system
1 ] movable product container
the most traditional method of charging & discharging of product in
dryer, granulator or top spray coater employs the use of movable
product container.
2 ] vacuum discharge
3 ] bottom dumping
The container stays in the machine & bottom plates open to allow the
material to fall out of the container.
46
47. Solvent recovery system
1 ] Solvent scrubbing- eliminates the solvent
a) Absorption
b) Adsorption
c) Combustion
2 ] solvent recovery-collect the solvent for disposal or reuse
a) Once-through system
b) Closed loop system
47
48. CENTRIFUGAL EQUIPMENT
It is the newest & most advance means of producing pellets.
Advantages:-
Lower manufacturing cost
Flexibility in operation
Ease of automation
Disadvantages :-
Higher capital & installation cost
48
49. General equipment description
• It consists of many of the
same system components
that of fluid bed unit such as
air handling system, product
chamber, expansion
chamber, filtration device,
spray system as well as
safety& control systems.
• The uniqueness of centrifugal
processing equipment lies
mainly in use of rotating disc.
49
50. • Three forces centrifugal, gravitational & fluidization air act
upon the product from different direction.
• The rotating disc provide a centrifugal force which forces the
pellets toward the wall of the processing chamber at the
periphery of the rotor.
• Fluidized air provides via a slit, a vertical force that punches the
particle upward. As the airflow above the slit relaxes with
distance, particle cascade down towards the bottom of the disc
by gravitational force.
• The centrifugal force is a function of the rotational speed of the
disc. While the vertical distance the particle traverse depends
on air velocity & volume.
• The combined action of the three forces generate a spiral rope
like material motion & a rapid turnover rate that is responsible
for high efficiency of centrifugal equipment.
50
51. • Another distinct feature is its spray method
• The spray guns are generally immersed in the product & liquid is sprayed
tangentially to the rotating pellet bed. That is liquid is applied
concurrently in the direction of pellet movement.
• This design partially account for reproducibility & efficiency of process.
• These machine also provides the direct application of powder to product
bed.
