The Machine Room provides students with a practical insight into the actual pharmaceutical industrysetup. It is designed to familiarize students with the sophisticated machinery and equipment usedintheformulation and development of pharmaceuticals, including tablets, capsules, ointments, andotherdosage forms.Science. Computers have become integral to all aspects of education, research, and professional practice, and we emphasize strong computer training for our students.
Key Equipment and Their Functions:
Tablet Punching Machine – Used for compressing powders into tablets of uniformsize andshape.
Capsule Filling Machine – Automates the process of filling capsules with precise quantities of drugpowder.
Ointment Filling Machine – Used to fill ointments, creams, and gels into tubes or containersaccurately.
Autoclave – Sterilizes equipment, glassware, and solutions using high-pressure steam.
Dissolution Test Apparatus – Measures the rate at which a drug dissolves (release out) inaparticularsolvent, critical for quality control.
Muffle Furnace – Provides high-temperature heating for ashing and thermal testing of pharmaceuticalsubstances.
Bulk Density Apparatus – Measures the density of powders and granules, important for formulationconsistency.
Clarity Test Apparatus – Evaluates the transparency and clarity of liquid pharmaceutical preparations.
Coating Pan – Used to coat tablets with sugar, film, or enteric coatings for controlled releaseor tastemasking
Tray Dryer / Dryers – Removes moisture from powders, granules, or other rawmaterials.
Disintegration Test Apparatus – Tests how quickly tablets and capsules break down under specifiedconditions.
Ampoule Sealing Machine – Seals sterile liquid medications in glass ampoules for safe storage.
Bottle Washing Machine – Cleans and sterilizes bottles before filling pharmaceutical liquids.
Friabilator – Evaluates the tendency of tablets to crumble or break under mechanical stress.
Liquid Filling Machine – Precisely fills liquid formulations into bottles or vials.
Collapsible Tube Crimping Machine – Seals ointments, creams, and gels in collapsible tubes.
Double Cone Blender – Mixes powders and granules homogeneously for uniformdrug formulation.
The Machine Room allows students to observe and handle industry-standard pharmaceutical machinery, bridging the gap between classroom theory and real-world pharmaceutical manufacturing. Thispractical exposure equips students with hands-on skills and technical competence necessaryfor careersinthe pharmaceutical industry.
