capsule represents one of the most common and effective forms of drug administration in the pharmaceutical market. Working at Philanto Wellness Company, which has obtained WHO-GMP certification, we treat the manufacture of pharmaceutical capsules that correspond to international trends and standards. Here we wish to explore all the stages in the Capsule Manufacturing process, starting from the sourcing of raw materials, up to the packaging of the final product.
Step 1: Raw Material Selection
The first step in capsule manufacturing is selecting the appropriate raw materials, primarily APIs and excipients. The API is the active ingredient responsible for therapeutic effect and the excipients are included for the purpose of processing the capsule and improving its stability, bioavailability, or even apparitional aspects. At Philanto Wellness, suitable measures are taken so that all such raw materials procured are the best in quality and comply with both domestic and international rules.
Step 2: Mixing and Blending
Once the raw materials are procured, the next step concerns mixing and blending the API with the excipients. The goal is to create a homogenous mixture to ensure that every capsule is prepared with the right amount of active ingredients. Such activities may involve, dry blending or wet granulation depending on the capsule type being produced. Philanto Wellness uses digital precision machines in a process design for blending to enhance the accuracy and uniformity of blending of the granules Lastly, with medicines preparation comes the use of a lot of machineries. Quality control checks are done in this course.
Step 3: Encapsulation
Capsule filling varieties include filling the mass into the capsule shells. Capsule shells are generally made of gelatin or a vegetable-based prop, hydroxypropyl methyl Cellulose. Broadly, there are two categories of capsules:
- Hard Gelatin Capsules: This consists of two cups where one is filled with powdered or granular drug.
- Soft Gelatin Capsules: These are some semi-solid or liquid drugs that are packed in a soft shell.
At Philanto Wellness, the filling machines are all fully automated filers and therefore the processes are efficient and limit wastage and errors. Procedures are also strictly followed so that the weight and contents of the capsules do not vary at all.
Step 4: Capsule Sealing
Some certifications warrant the capsules to have seals to avoid manipulation as well as escape. Hard gelatin capsules in a normal situation do not require sealing while soft gelatin capsules seem to always go through this step. The company uses modern technology for hermetic seal soft capsules to assure the customer that the integrity of the soft capsules will be preserved until such time they are consumed.
Step 5: Drying
After the encapsulation process, moisture is removed from the soft gelatin capsules to increase their state and enhance stability. The drying step is very critical because if this step is not performed as it should be then there is a chance for the active ingredients to spoil. Dried capsules are made under humidity-free and monitored temperature fully satisfied conditions to ensure the quality is to the maximum.
Step 6: Polishing and Sorting
Once the capsules are dried, they are polished to remove any excess powder or irregularities. This step enhances the appearance and ensures that the capsules are clean before packaging. Capsules are also sorted to remove any defective units, ensuring that only those meeting the highest quality standards proceed to the next phase.
Step 7: Quality Control and Testing
Quality control is an integral part of the capsule manufacturing process at Philanto Wellness. At multiple stages, capsules are tested for:
- Weight uniformity: Ensuring that each capsule contains the correct amount of medication.
- Disintegration and dissolution: Checking that the capsules release their contents as intended once ingested.
- Content uniformity: Verifying that the active ingredient is evenly distributed within the batch.
- Stability: Testing the capsules under various environmental conditions to ensure shelf life.
Our in-house laboratories are equipped with cutting-edge technology to perform these tests, ensuring that our capsules meet both regulatory and customer expectations.
Step 8: Packaging
The final step in the capsule manufacturing process is packaging. Capsules are packed into blister packs, bottles, or other containers, depending on client requirements. At Philanto Wellness, we use tamper-evident packaging to guarantee product safety and authenticity.
In addition to protecting the product from environmental factors such as light, moisture, and air, packaging also provides essential information, including dosage instructions and batch numbers for traceability.
