Applications of Vacuum Emulsifying mixer and tube filling and sealing machines

If you use creams, toothpastes, and other cosmetics, you would be wondering how the product is inserted into the tubes, right? Well, there are special kind of tube filling and sealing machine, which serve these purposes. With these machines, products like cream, ointment, gel, sauce, grease, shampoos, toothpastes, etc. can be filled and sealed. So, products having varying features of viscosity and flow can be packed with the help of tube filling machines.

Depending upon the type of product and tube, there are different kinds of tube filling and sealing machines available. The machines follow GMP norms, and have compatible designs. These are most suitable for filling and sealing lami and Aluminium tubes.

What is the use of Vacuum Emulsifying mixer?

In the Vacuum Emulsifying mixer, the materials go through a high speed of emulsifier or homogenizer. There is a narrow space, which forms a strong circulation inside the vessel. The mixer performs a greater impact, shearing and dispersion inside the vessel, which helps in blending, mixing, emulsifying and homogenizing the product inside the vessel. This will increase the smoothness, stability and the lustre of cream products.

Main uses and applications of emulsifying mixer

It is mainly used in the following sectors:

• Cosmetics Industry: In making creams, lipstick, lotion, and shampoos
• Food Industry: For packing Jam, butter, sauce, mayonnaise, cheese, margarine, etc.
• Pharmaceutical Industry: Syrups, ointments, injections
• Chemical Industry: In creating synthetic fibre, polyester
• Painting Industry: For packing paints, water colours, synthetic resin paints
• Miscellaneous: Shoe creams, wax, colours, and coating liquids.

How does the emulsifying mixer work?

• Oil and water is mixed with the materials in a high speed so that a perfect emulsion product is created.
• The machine consists of a vessel, which is vacuum-resistant, along with a jacket for cooling and heating. It is equipped with a high speed homogenizer, vacuum pump, scraping agitator, hydraulic pumps for lifting, cooling and heating.
• There is also a vacuum pump, which takes out the air bubbles from the mixed product, and extends the storage time.
• Depending upon the products, you can use the appropriate mixing heads. Some of the mixing heads include high viscosity types, high shearing types, low viscosity type and disperser type.
• The machines also have safety devices, like the vacuum safety valve, over-loaded protection for motors, jacket safety valve, etc.
• With the help of the heating and cooling the system, the processing becomes quite simplified. The heating, melting, emulsifying and the air bubble reduction, saves a lot of time and labour for the production.
• Automatic control of the raw materials measurement, temperature recording for heating, emulsifying, melting, cooling and changes in mixing speeds etc., is possible.
These were some of the uses and applications of vacuum emulsifying mixer.

Check out the range of tablet counting machines and tablet coating machine

With everything getting automated, how can the coating and counting of tablets be left behind? Well, there is a special tablet counting machine, which is especially suitable for capsules, tablets and soft gelatine capsules. These machines range from the small bench and the tablet top to the fully automatic counters. These are aimed at the cosmetics industry, pharmacies, healthcare, druggists, and confectionary industries.

Depending upon the size and scale of the pharmaceutical sector, there are different kinds of tablet counting machines available. So, if your requirement is to produce more than 1000 tablets in a minute, you can go for the fully automated counting machine. These are mainly used in the hospital pharmacies.

How does the counting machine work?

The tablets, which are to be counted, are place on the hopper. There, these are vibrated around the glass disc or the plastic scroll. These are then dropped into the container, through the infra-red beams. These beams count the tablets, while dropping them individually. The counter can be set, and the number of batches can also be set, so that these can be displayed with the help of digital display. The operation is quite simple, and there is also a dust extraction point, which makes it suitable for capsule and pill counting.

The counting machine makes the work so much easier. One need not worry about the accuracy and clerical errors while counting. The machine saves the time, energy and manpower of the companies, and also improves accuracy and reliability.

What is the use of Tablet coating machine?

While the counting machine takes care of the counting of the tablets, there is a special tablet coating machine, which coats the tablet’s outer surface with coating materials. This coating is specifically useful for the following purposes:

• For masking the odour, taste and colour of the drugs.
• For protecting the chemical and physical properties of the drug
• For controlling the release of drugs from the tablets.
• For protecting the drugs from the gastric environment.
• For improving the look of the tablets.

It is not easy for anybody to have the tablets in the raw form. So, the coating process is one of the most significant processes, which removes the raw taste of the powder from the tablets. The coating is evenly distributed on the tablet, through vertical or perpendicular movement.

The parameters, which need to be considered while coating the tablets include:

• Surface area of tablets
• Air Capacity
• Efficiency of equipment
• Composition of the coating, or the ingredients, which are to be applied on the surface of the tablets.

Coating is usually the last stage in the production cycle of tablet. There are mainly 2 types of coating, which can be considered, the film coating and the sugar coating.

The significance of Tablet Press and Tablet Deduster

If you are wondering how a tablet is made in such a perfect manner, then, there are some mechanical devices, which give them the perfect shape. The tablet press is one such device, which compresses the powder into the tablets, which are of uniform weight and size. This press can be useful in manufacturing the tablets with wide range of materials, such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, etc.

So, how does a tablet press work?

To give a shape to the tablet, a metering of granulated material is done. This is passed through a cavity, which has punches and die. The punches are pressed together forcefully, so that the materials get fused together. So, with the pressing action of the punches and the die, the tablet gets formed. So, when the granulated material is passed to the punches, the bottom punch gets lowered inside the die, so that a cavity gets created and the granulated material is fed. The excess material is removed from the die, and the upper punch is punched over the powder. The force is so high and the compression is so strong that it fuses the granulated material, and converts it into a harder tablet. Once the compression is done, the tablet is ejected out.

Types of Tablet Press:

There are basically 2 types of presses available for tablets. There is the single punch machine and the rotary tablet pressing machine. The high speed pressing takes the form of rotating turrets, which can hold many punches. The dies and the punches are custom made, and are made in various shapes, sizes, and can also be customized with the manufacturer codes, along with scoring lines, so that they can be easily broken.Depending upon the size, material and shape of tablets, there are machines, which can produce tablets in the range of 250,000 to about 1000,000 tablets in an hour.

Now that we have learn about the pressing of the tablets, we are forgetting one important aspect. What happens to the dust, which gets left off during the process of tablet creation? Well, to take care of that, there is the Tablet Deduster machine, which is used for removing the dust from the newly pressed tablets. This is done with the help of air pressure and vibration. This machine is used immediately after the tablet is pressed.


Features of Tablet Deduster:

• It removes the excess dust from the pressed tablets. Through vibrations, the cleaning of tablets is done.
• It does not require any tools for cleaning, assembly and breakdown.
• Cleaning up and maintenance is quite easy.
• There is a window, which is useful for doing visual inspection, and opens up for sampling of tablets.
• A vacuum connection is there for collecting the dust.
