This document provides an overview of the design and operations of a pharmaceutical pilot plant for tablet development. It discusses key considerations for scaling up processes like blending, granulation, milling, compression, and coating from small laboratory batches to production-sized equipment. The primary goal of the pilot plant is to ensure new tablet formulations can be efficiently, economically and consistently reproduced at full production scale. Features like air handling, equipment selection, and process parameters must be optimized during this scale-up to prevent issues like contamination, segregation, non-uniformity and other problems.
