Tablet production
|
The first room is for mixing tablets. Here, the different ingredients are mixed in accordance with a long list of standard procedures that are thoroughly controlled throughout the entire process. The ready-mixed powder is poured into a mobile container that can be moved to the next machine where the powder is pressed to tablets or filled in hard capsules. Afterwards, the tablets are coated with a protective layer that extends their shelf life and makes them easier to swallow. Certain tablets must even have a special colour, either for the sake of protecting the active ingredients or to make them easy to recognise. |
