Pharmaceutical Machinery — Tablet Press, Capsule Filler, Blister & Liquid Filling Lines

About Pharmaceutical Machinery — Tablet Press, Capsule Filler, Blister & Liquid Filling Lines

Pharmaceutical machinery covers the equipment used to process and package medicines—from solid dosage (tablets, capsules) to liquids, semi-solids and injectables. Core machines include tablet presses, capsule fillers, granulators, coaters, liquid/ampoule/vial fillers, blister packers, counters and cartoners. These systems must meet GMP, FDA/EMA and hygiene standards, with stainless-steel contact parts, CIP/SIP cleaning and serialization for traceability.

How to Choose

  • Dosage form: select tablet press/capsule filler for solids, liquid/vial/ampoule lines for sterile or oral liquids.
  • GMP & hygiene: prioritise stainless steel, cleanable surfaces, CIP/SIP and contamination controls.
  • Automation & output: match semi/full-auto and speed to batch size and validation needs.
  • Packaging & traceability: include blister, bottling, cartoning and serialization for compliant, trackable product.

FAQ

Q: What machines are used to make tablets and capsules?
A: Tablet presses compress powder into tablets; capsule fillers dose powder, granules or liquid into empty hard capsules.

Q: What is a blister packaging machine?
A: It forms plastic or aluminium cavities, places tablets or capsules inside and seals them with lidding foil to create tamper-evident unit doses.

Q: How is sterility maintained for injectables?
A: Aseptic filling lines use isolators or RABS, sterilising filters and peristaltic or time-pressure fillers under controlled environments.

Q: Why does pharmaceutical equipment follow GMP?
A: GMP ensures consistent quality, hygiene and traceability, reducing contamination and recall risk for patient-safe medicines.
