Pharmaceutical / Nutraceutical Processing Applications: Pharmaceutical Dispensing Applications

From K-Tron Process Group
 

 
Automated dispensing systems are utilized throughout the pharmaceutical industry for the loading of excipients, active pharmaceutical ingredients (API's), and lubricants into Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC's) and other large vessel devices. In most pharmaceutical plants, separate broaching areas are established in which the raw materials or excipients may be brought in from outside suppliers or other plant locations. These broaching areas usually include the unloading of pallets containing drums or boxes, or the unloading of supersacks. The contents of each container are transferred via either gravity flow or pneumatic transfer to the dispensary area for the loading of IBC's.
