Manufacturing Process

SIFTING OF RAW MATERIALS

1. Sift Vitamin B2 1.100 kgs through 30 # mesh

2. Sift Niacin amide 10.500 kgs through 30 # mesh

3. Sift Lactose61.000 kgs through 30 # mesh

4. Sift Starch 35.100 kgs through 150 # mesh

5.Sift Di basic calcium phosphate 25.000 kgs through 30 # mesh.


Place the sifted material in the Mixer, Run for 30 minutes.


a) The following Materials are For paste preparation

6. Starch 4.000 kgs

7. Gelatin 0.400 kgs

8. EDTA 0.050 kgs

9. Thiourea 0.100 kgs

10.Citric acid 0.800 kgs

11. Propyl paraben sodium 0.100 kgs

12. Purified water 40 litre.


b) Take 7 liters of purified warm water to make Slurry with Starch.

c) Soak Gelatin in 3litres of boiling water and add to this EDTA, Thiourea, propyl paraben sodium. Add this solution to starch slurry.

e) Add 30 liters of Boiled Water into the slurry and mix well until uniform paste is formed.


Transfer the paste into mixer. Run for 15 minutes, till the uniform granules are formed.
Record excess quantity of water added, if required.

Pass the wet granules through Cadmill/Multimill(through3/8 inch or 9.5mm ss mesh).


Transfer the wet granules into the Tray Drier and dry at 50c for 4-5 hours/Fluid Bed Drier and dry at50 degree c for 10 mts for initial drying.

Sift the semi-dried granules through 20 ss mesh.

Mill the tops remaining on the 20 ss mesh through1/16 inch or1.5 mm ss mesh.

Reload the semidried, size reduced granules into the Tray Drier and dry at 50 degree c for 2-3 hour/Fluid Bed Drier and dry at 50 degree c for 8 minutes for final drying till the moisture content reaches between 1 and 2 %.

Weigh the dried granules

Record the weight of the dried granules in BMR.

Transfer the dried granules into the Mixer/Double cone blender.

The following lubricants are

16.Sift Starch quantity sufficient to135.000 kgs through 150 # mesh.

Place the sifted materials into the Mixer/Double cone blender. Run for 15 minutes.
Record quantity of starch added.

Transfer into polylined containers and label them as lubricated granules
Record the total number of containers in BMR
Record the total quantity of lubricated granules

Transfer to quarantine.
After getting approval from QC transfer to Compression area.

SUGAR COATING PROCEDURE

METHOD OF MANUFACTURING

SUGAR COATING PROCEDURE:

DIVIDE THE TABLETS INTO 2,50,000 x 4 LOTS:-

SEALING:
Sieve the tablets and sealed with 3.328 kgs of shellac in 3.8 litres of Iso propyl alcohol with 0.830 litres of Castor oil. Divide the shellac solution into 4 lots. Coat the shellac solution over the tablet and dry the tablets keeping the blower temperature at 60oC.


PREPARATION OF DUSTING POWDER:

Sift of sugar powder 15.584 kg, Calcium carbonate 15.584 kg and Talcum 15.584 kg through 100 or 80# and mix well.

SUB COATING:

Load the sealed tablets into the coating pan. Boil 21.7 liters of purified water in a stainless steel vessel. To this dissolve 0.039 kg of Methyl paraben, 0.008 kg of propyl paraben, 2.170 kg of Gelatin 2.170 kg of Gum Acacia and 34.720 kg of sugar. Stir well and allow it to boil.
