We undertake the production of aseptic mixing vessels based on the ASME BPE guidelines, equipped with aseptic magnetic mixers and advanced instruments as per EHEDG guidelines. Our CIP modules come in a variety of types and are custom-built to clean the vessels. We understand that the cleaning of production equipment is an extremely essential part of the pharmaceutical production process, and thus it holds equal importance to the production process itself, according to FDA guidelines. The cleaning of all equipment must adhere to strict standards of documentation, and the process must be validated based on the standards laid down by the FDA. At Bright Pharma Engineering, we have a state-of-the-art system that delivers WFI of a higher quality standard for storage and distribution, surpassing the standards imposed by pharmacopeias worldwide.
Our unique and advanced homogenizing and emulsifying system is widely applicable across different industries, especially in the production of ointment creams, lotions, and suspensions. We designed our system to cater to the pharmaceutical industry, where the quality precision of the product is of utmost importance. Our focus on the cosmetics industry is driven by the need to deliver quality emulsions and suspensions that meet consumers’ preferences and regulatory compliance.
Understanding Semi-Solid Manufacturing Plant
Semi-solid dosage forms refer to a type of medication that has a consistency that falls somewhere in between a liquid and a solid. They are also known as quasi-solid and are characterized by their high viscosity, which gives them a slightly flexible nature. This category of medication includes various forms such as ointments, pastes, creams, gels, rigid foams, and suppositories. These semi-solid forms can be available in two forms-
- Conventional Semi-Solid Dosage Forms
- Novel Semi-Solid Dosage Forms
Implementation & Benefits
- Topical applications have a lower risk of side effects compared to other types of medication as they are applied directly to the affected area.
- These applications have a specific action site, making it easier to focus treatment where it’s needed.
- Topical treatments can be more convenient for patients who have difficulty taking oral medications.
- Semi-solid dosage forms used in topical treatments avoid hepatic metabolism.
- Topical applications have a higher stability than liquids.
- The goopy nature of semi-solid dosage forms makes them easier to apply to the skin.
- Topical applications can be used for a variety of purposes, including therapeutic, cosmetic, or protective functions.
