RAW MATERIAL AND FINISHED GOODS SECTION

RAW MATERIALS
Araw material, also known as afeedstock or most correctlyunprocessed material, is a basic material
that is used to produce goods, finished products, energy, or intermediate materials which are
feedstock for future finished products. As feedstock, the term connotes these materials
are bottleneck assets and are highly important with regards to producing other
products. Pharmaceutical raw materials comprise substrates or elements that are used for
manufacturing different types of drugs e.g. endocrine disorder drugs, musculoskeletal system
drugs, anti-infective drugs [Link], penicillin, ampicillin, cephradine, etc. Pharmaceutical
excipients and ingredients or raw materials used to manufacture drugs are extracted from
different types of sources. These sources could be natural or synthetic.
Pharmaceutical raw materials are essential to producing pharmaceutical drugs and include active
pharmaceutical ingredients (API), also known as bulk active, are pharmaceutically active ,and
have the desired pharmacological effects on the body e.g. alvimopan, sparfloxacin,
sapropterindihydrochloride, lanreotideacetate, nicotinic acid, etc. In contrast
pharmaceuticalexcipients are the pharmaceutically inert substances which help in delivering the
activeingredient, e.g. antiadherents, binders, coatings, disintegrants, fillers, etc

 Raw material is dispensed from dispensing booth under LAF to the production area.

FINISHED GOODS
Finished goods are goods that have completed the manufacturing process but have not yet been
sold or distributed to the end user. A good purchased as a "raw material" goes into the
manufacture of a product. A good only partially completed during the manufacturing process is

11
called "work in process". When the good is completed as to manufacturing but not yet sold or
distributed to the end-user, it is called a "finished good". This is the last stage for the processing
of goods. The goods are ready to be consumed or distributed. There is no processing required in
term of the goods after this stage by the seller.

 Lubricant: Stearic acid, Magnesium stearate, Calcium stearate and Talk.
 Disintegrates: Starches and most common disintegrantse.
 Colous: D&C and FD&C Dyes and lacquers.

GRANULATION
There are three methods of preparing Tablets. These are:
 Wet granulation
 Dry granulation (also called slugging)
 Direct compression
Each of these methods has its advantages and disadvantages. The first two step of millingand
mixing of the formulation are identical, but thereafter the processes differ, Eachindividual
operations of the process is known as unit operation.
STEP IN DIFFERENT METHODS OF MANUFACTURE

WET GRANULATION
 Mixing of drugs and excipients
 Mixing of milled powder
 Preperation of Binder solution
 Mixing of binder solution with powder mixture to form wet mass
 Coarse Screening of wet mass using 6-12 mesh
 Drying moist granules
 Screening dry granules with lubricant and disintegrants
 Mixing screened granules with lubricant and disintegrants
 Tablet compression

DRY GRANULATION
 Milling of drugs and excipients

14
  Mixing of milled powders
 Compression into large, hard tablets called slugs
 Screening of slugs
 Mixing with lubricants and disintegrating agents
 Tablet compression

DIRECT COMPRESSION
 Milling of drugs and excipients
 Mixing of ingredients
 Mixing of ingredients

EQUIPMENTS
 Rapid Mixing Granulator (RMG)
 Steam Kettle
 Fluid Bed Dryer (FBD)
 Vibro Sifter with Loader
 Tippler and Co-Mill
 RimekCommuniting Mill
 Conta Blender
 Compressor

RAPID MIXING GRANULATOR (RMG)

RMG was developed for pharmaceutical and chemical industry. With the help of MRGwet
sifting is generally no longer necessary. After the mixing of dry components, wet
granulationoccurs (without transfer of dry mixture) producing loose granules in RMG. RMG is
specificallydesigned to meet the GMP requirements of the pharmaceutical industries.

FLUID BED DRYER (FBD)

In FBD, the fluidized air steam is introduced by a fan or a blower mounted at the top ofthe
apparatus. The air is heated to a required temperature in the air heater and flows upwardsthrough
the wet materials, which remains in a drying chamber fitted with a wire mesh supported at the

15
bottom. By this process, the material is suspended and agitated in a warm air steam whilethe
granulation is maintained in motion.

PACKAGING AND LABELLING

Packing is the technology of enclosing or protecting product for distribution, storage, sale,and
use. Packaging is also refers to the process of designing, evaluating, and producing packages.
Packaging can be described as a coordinated system of preparing goods
for transport,warehousing, logistics, sale, and end use. It is sometimes convenient to categorize
packages bylayer or functions.
 Primary Packaging
 Secondary Packaging
 Tertiary Packaging

PRIMARY PACKAGING:
Primary packaging is the material that first envelope the product andholds it. This usually is the
smallest unit of distribution or use and is the package which is indirect contact with the content.

SECONDARY PACKAGING:
Secondary packaging is outside the primary packing, and may beused to prevent pilferage or to
group primary packages together.

TERTIARY PACKING:
These are used for bulk handling, warehouse storage and transport shipping. The most common
form of palletized unit load that packs tightly into containers.

TYPES OF PACKAGING

[Link] Packing

Thisis usefulfor packagingofunitdose ofpharmaceuticals. This packing mode has been used exten
sively good reasons. It is a packagingconfiguration capable of providing excellent environmental
protection, coupled with an aesthetically pleasing and efficacious appearance. It also provides

16
user functionally in terms of convenience, child resistance and now temperature resistance. The
blister package is formed by heat softening a sheet of thermoplastic resin and vacuum drawing
the softened sheets of plastic into a contoured mould. After coming, the sheet is released from
the mould and proceeds to the filling station of the packaging machine. The semi-rigid blister
previously formed, is filled with the product and
liddedwithaheatsealable backing material. The backing material can be either a push through or p
eelable [Link] a push through type of blister, the backing material is usually heat seal coated
aluminum foil.

[Link] Packing

The strip packing is done by aluminum foil or glassine poly paper. A strip package is formed by
feeding two webs of a heat sealable flexible film through either a heated crimping roller or a
heated reciprocating platen. The product is dropped into the pocket formed prior to forming the
final set of seals. continuous set of packets is formed, generally several packets wide depending
on the packaging machine’s limitations. The strip of packets is cut to the desired number of
packets in length. The strips formed are usually collected and packed into a folding carton.
Theproductsealed between the two sheets of film usually has a seal around each tablet, with perf
orations usually separating adjacent packets.
