For compatible pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, nutraceutical or chemical liquids, with closed or open charging arrangement selected for the process.
Machine overview
H M Pharma Machines manufactures the Processing Tank in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic, food, chemical and allied production applications.
The Processing Tank uses closed or open charging arrangement selected for the process for batch charging and transfer. Its approved process completes when finished batch drains or transfers through a hygienic outlet.
Detailed engineering for the Processing Tank aligns agitator, temperature, level, load and recipe controls according to configuration with the approved application, target output, utility schedule and final line layout before the GA drawing is released.
Why this machine
The Processing Tank is intended for compatible pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, nutraceutical or chemical liquids; performance is assessed against the output and acceptance criteria stated for the approved configuration.
Closed or open charging arrangement selected for the process.
Agitator, temperature, level, load and recipe controls according to configuration.
For the Processing Tank, the materials and cleanability review follows this product-contact requirement: Product-contact metallurgy, finish, weld treatment, pressure rating and cleanability are engineered from product compatibility and URS.
Finished batch drains or transfers through a hygienic outlet.
Operating process
The processing tank uses application-selected agitation and heat-transfer surfaces to dissolve, blend, heat or cool ingredients before the batch moves onward.
Liquids and compatible solids enter through the selected open or closed charging arrangement in the required sequence.
The selected agitator establishes product movement suited to dissolving, blending or suspension duty.
Heating or cooling medium passes through the jacket or coil while mixing distributes the thermal effect through the product.
Once the specified mixing and temperature conditions are met, the batch drains or transfers through the hygienic outlet.
Applications & selection
Pharmaceutical liquid preparation can use a tank fitted with the agitation, heat-transfer and sanitary connections required by the approved batch process.
Cosmetic creams and lotions require the agitator, scraper, jacket and outlet to be selected for product viscosity and the intended transfer method.
Nutraceutical formulations are processed after ingredient order, solids suspension, thermal duty and cleaning requirements are established.
Food and beverage processing requires hygienic product-contact construction plus mixing, heating or cooling suited to the validated recipe.
Compatible chemicals can be handled only after reviewing corrosion, seals, venting, temperature, pressure and operator-safety controls.
For new plants or capacity upgrades, tank volume, supports, utilities, instruments and transfer connections are developed with the surrounding process layout.
