Structural Composition


Pharmaceutical gel production equipment usually includes the following core components:

 

Raw material Pretreatment System: responsible for measuring, mixing, and preheating raw materials such as polymers, solvents, and active ingredients to ensure that the raw materials reach the required production state.


Mixing and Homogenization Unit: High speed mixer, homogenizer or static mixer are used to ensure that the raw materials are fully mixed and reach the required degree of dispersion and uniformity, which is crucial to the texture of gel products.


Defoaming System: removes bubbles from the mixed liquid through vacuum suction or centrifugation to prevent the appearance of pores in the finished product, which affects product quality and appearance.


Cooling/Solidification Device: depending on the gel formula, rapid cooling or solidification process at set temperature may be required to promote the formation of gel and control its final form.


Filling and Sealing System: automatically complete the quantitative filling of gel products, and seal the bottle cap or tube packaging to ensure aseptic operation and extend the product shelf life.


CIP/SIP System (on-site cleaning/disinfection system): used for automatic cleaning and disinfection inside equipment, ensuring a sterile environment in the production process and meeting GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) requirements.



Operating Principle


The working principle of gel production equipment and mixing machine pharmaceutical use revolves around the physical changes and chemical reactions of materials:


Material Mixing and Dissolution: By precisely controlling the temperature and stirring speed, the solid raw materials are completely dissolved in the solvent, forming a uniform solution.


Gel Formation: by cooling PH value adjustment, cross-linking agent addition and other means promote the solution to change into gel state. This process needs to strictly control the conditions to ensure the stability and consistency of gel network structure.


Aseptic Treatment: The entire production process is carried out in a closed environment, in conjunction with the CIP/SIP system, effectively avoiding microbial contamination.


Automation Control: Utilizing PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and HMI (Human Machine Interface) to achieve precise control and full process monitoring of production parameters, improving production efficiency and product quality.


The gel production equipment independently developed by Jinzong Enterprise has the following performance characteristics:


Highly Automated and Precise Control: ensuring the repeatability and stability of the production process, reducing human error, and improving consistency between product batches.


Flexibility and Adjustability: the equipment design should be able to adapt to different types of gel formulations and production scale, and achieve rapid conversion through modular design.


Sterility Assurance: From design to operation, strictly adhere to sterile production standards, effectively reducing the risk of cross contamination.


Easy to Clean and Maintain: The integration of CIP/SIP systems simplifies cleaning and disinfection procedures, shortens production conversion time, and reduces maintenance costs.


Efficient and Energy-saving: Adopting energy-saving design, such as high-efficiency mixers and intelligent temperature control systems, to reduce energy consumption and meet the requirements of sustainable development.


To sum up, the gel production equipment for pharmaceutical use is not only the technical support for the production of gel products, but also the key to achieving high-quality and high standard drug manufacturing. With the continuous progress of technology, the future gel production equipment will be more intelligent and customized to meet the growing market demand and strict regulatory requirements.
