These instruments impart practical training for preparation of various pharmaceutical dosage forms like Tablets, Capsule, Ointments, Parenteral, Liquid orals and novel drug delivery systems.

Mini Press (MODEL :LAB PRESS 1)

In the tablet compression machine main principle is compressing the grains/powder in upper and lower punch in a die hole. The hydraulic pressure plays a key role. This pressure is transmitted unreduced through the static fluid. Any externally applied pressure is transmitted via static fluid to all the direction in same proportion. It also makes it possible to multiply the force as needed. If we increase the hydraulic pressure more compressing force on tablet then it becomes harder.
Lab Press is a High Tech Rotary Tablet Press in table-top design for R&D and small batch production. This Single sided R&D Tablet Press fully conforms to GMP and the safety requirements. All Electrical settings can be performed by Front panel with indicators at the front of the machine. The turret is driven by centre shaft drive mechanism by a motor and Powerful Reduction gear box. The Tablet output depends upon the properties, tablet shape, weight, thickness as well as quality of granules of material to be compress.
This machine is designed for pressing tablets from a variety of materials for Research and Development and for small-scale production of Neutraceuticals,herbals, and other products. It is designed for pressing round tablets from various granular materials.

All Purpose Unit

All-purpose unit comprises of a vertical main drive to which various attachments can be connected to carryout different operations.

Vertical Drive

The Vertical Main Drive type SVMD-AC is the basic machine of the All-purpose equipment. All our Multi-attachments units can be easily and quickly connected and disconnected to the main drive with the help of two quick locking and unlocking hand knurled knobs. The Main motor Drive is equipped with a very efficient and maintenance free gearbox with maximum torque. The speed is variable and can be adjusted infinitely between 10 to 434 RPM working range by an electronic speed control.This is done via an electronic speed controller and the corresponding rpm is displayed digitally. The drive also includes a Digital timer in order to set time-based operation

The Universal Gear

The universal gear is a basic requirement for our different attachment like the coating pan, polishing drum, pelletizer, cube mixer, mini ball mill etc. The universal gear required when the operating angles for the above attachments have to be changed.The unit offers an adjustment of the angle of operation from 0 to 60 degrees.

Coating Pan

The Coating pan is used to produce uniform coating on tablets with the help of Baffles inside of pan. This can be mounting on the universal gearing and as a result different tilting angle can be set up to 45 Degree.It is also permits speed control at any desired RPM. The pan capacity is 9.5 Liters

Polishing Drum

The polishing drum consists of felt lined inside of a metal drum suitable for polishing coated tablets. The bottom of the drum is also lined with felt. The polishing drum fits with the Universal Gearing exactly like the coating pan and the cube mixer. The top cover, which locks quickly into place with closures.The cover is fitted with acrylic sheet, which helps the observation of the polishing process while the machine is running.

Double Cone Mixer

Double Cone Mixer operates on free flow principle. This unit is used for rapid mixing of all types of free flowing powders and granules. The uniform, multidimensional arrangement of the mixer walls ensures good mixing.The vessel is manufactured from stainless steel and secured with threaded knobs. This unit can be attached to the Universal Gearing.

Planetary Mixer

This mixer is designed to be used as a mixing for pastes ointments & creams. It can also be used for wet powders. This mixer is provided with a mixing paddle and Teflon scrapper, which is shaped in such manner so that there is minimum clearance with the mixing kettle. The kettle is also easily removable.

Humidity Chamber

Humidity chambers are popular for stability testing in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and packaging industries. A humidity chamber is used for product testing at different setpoints, including maintaining controlled humidity and temperature conditions for drug storage in the pharmaceutical industry.They provide varying conditions of relative humidity within a modest temperature range. Typically, a humidity chamber (also called a stability chamber) will offer temperatures between 0C and 80C, and relative humidity from 20% to 90%. The humidity control chamber environment to be conditioned is controlled at a targeted dew point temperature and then reheated to a specified air temperature. Maintaining a constant dew point and air temperature will produce a very constant relative humidityRH).Corrosion-resistant interiors and components are particularly important in a humidity test chamber due to extended exposure to damp conditions inside. Energy efficient fans, compressors, and heaters are also very attractive features in stability chambers, since they will be running for extended periods during product testing.

R4 Centrifuge

Centrifugation is a technique of separating substances which involves the application of centrifugal force. The particles are separated from a solution according to their size, shape, density, the viscosity of the medium and rotor speed. The centrifuge works using the sedimentation principle, where the centripetal acceleration causes denser substances and particles to move outward in the radial direction.R-4C Compact model is designed for routine work in medical and industrial laboratories has digital speed indicator and 0-60 minute digital countdown timer.R-4C DX has additional features of dynamic brake for quick deceleration & imbalance detector with cutoff in case of uneven loads.

Dissolution Tester (MODEL: DS 8000 BASIC)

Dissolution testing is an important tool for characterizing the performance of oral solid dosage forms. Its significance is based on the fact that for a drug to be effective, it must first be released from the product and dissolve in the gastrointestinal fluids before absorption into the bloodstream can happen. In other words, the rate and extent of drug absorption are determined by its dissolution from the dosage form. For a commercial product, this test is routinely used for quality-control and quality-assurance purposes, to ensure consistency between production batches, or to justify scale-up and post-approval changes made to the manufacturing process. Dissolution apparatuses that can be used to develop an appropriate dissolution method for oral solid-dosage forms based on the drug product characteristics. The dissolution apparatus can be used to develop an appropriate dissolution method for oral solid-dosage forms based on the drug product characteristics.

Salient Features

The equipment complies with current USP , IP ,BP, & EP and ASTM specifications.
External vibration free Water Circulator for uniform water circulation with audible and low water level alarm.
Mono shaft design with automatic adjustment for 25 mm depth setting with easy changeover between Apparatus I & II eliminates routine height validation as per USP.
Paddles, Baskets and Vessels are laser marked with serial numbers for traceability.
Tablet dispenser (Optional) drops 6 dosage form at single instance.
The conical shape low evaporation recovery lids reduces media loss during long run.
Facility to monitor Vessel temp, with DTS Technology (Digital Temperature Sensor)

TRAY DRYER: (K LAB)

Tray dryer is the device which is used for drying of the wet products of the crude drugs, chemicals, powders or the granules etc It consist of rectangular chamber of sheet metal containing two trucks that support racks. Each rack carries a number of shallow trays, perhaps 750 mm2 and 50 to 150 mm deep, that are loaded with material to be dried. Heated air is circulated at 2 to 5 m/s b/w the trays by fan and motor and passes over heaters. Baffles distribute the air uniformly over the stack of trays. Some moist air is continuously vented through exhaust duct and make up fresh air enters through inlet. The racks are mounted on truck wheel, so that the end of the drying cycle the truck can be pulled out of the chamber and taken to a tray-dumping station. Wet solid is loaded in to the trays and Trays are placed in the chamber. Fresh air is introduced through inlet, which passes through the heaters and gets heated up. The hot air is circulated by means of fans and then water is picked up by the air. These events occur in a single pass of air. The time of contact is short and amount of water picked up in a single pass is small. At the end of the drying trays or trucks are pulled out of the chamber and taken to a tray dumping station.
