Is there anything needed to add to powder tablets?

Tablet supplement manufacturing and processing is a commissioned tablet production business provided by professional food, special diet and health food OEM manufacturers to sales companies or individual industrial and commercial households with corresponding product needs and certain qualifications. Depending on the scope of the OEM manufacturer's production license, its products can cover multiple categories such as tablet candies, solid drinks, special meals, and health brands. So, what should be added to different types of powdered tablets such as traditional Chinese medicine, probiotics, fruit and vegetable enzymes, etc.?

Powder tableting can be divided into two processes: wet method and dry method. Wet tableting will granulate the raw materials, while dry tableting will directly mix the main ingredients and excipients for direct production. The purpose of granulating the raw materials or adding excipients is to increase the fluidity and compressibility of the raw materials and ensure that the tablet products have the appropriate hardness, friability and uniform tablet weight. The choice of dry or wet tableting process is mainly based on the characteristics of the main raw materials. Not all raw materials are suitable for direct compression of powder.

What excipients should be added to powder tablets?

1. Magnesium stearate: a hydrophobic lubricant commonly used in tableting, which can effectively solve the sticking phenomenon.

2. Micronized silica gel: It has strong hydrophilic properties, which can accelerate the disintegration of tablets and improve the dissolution of the main ingredients.

3. Calcium hydrogen phosphate: It has good fluidity and stability and can increase the hardness of powder tableting products.

4. Sodium hydroxymethyl starch: It has good compressibility and can help the mixed powder raw materials to be pressed and formed.

5. Lactose: It is a good filler for direct tableting of powder. It has good fluidity and viscosity, and can make the surface of the formed tablets smooth.

6. Pregelatinized starch: It has lubrication and reduces brittleness.

7. Microcrystalline cellulose: It has very good compressibility, fluidity and disintegration. It is an excellent filler and effective dry binder for tablets. It has good hardness after being pressed into tablets and does not affect the quality of tablets. disintegrate.

What are the items of powder tableting for tablet supplement manufacturing and processing?

1. Tablet compression candy processing: the products can be divided into three types: chewable tablets, blubber tablets, and swallowable tablets. Swallowable tablets can be selectively processed by film coating technology according to the characteristics of the raw materials. Masks undesirable taste and smell of mixed ingredients. Tablet specifications range from 0.15-4g/tablet, and the shape can be customized.

2. Tablet solid beverage manufacturing and processing: Effervescent tablets are a typical representative of tablet solid beverages. The product contains a large amount of effervescent disintegrant. The acid-base reaction raw materials are used to release a large amount of effervescent disintegrants when encountering water. carbon dioxide gas. Currently, vitamin C, taurine and minerals are the main products on the market. Because it contains a large amount of effervescent disintegrant ingredients, the tablet weight is relatively large, usually 2-4 grams per tablet. The effervescence time limit can be controlled by the amount of excipients added.

3. Tablet type special diet and health food OEM projects: these two categories are not ordinary foods, and have specific suitable and unsuitable groups. The products have strict requirements on various indicators such as ingredient content and uniformity. And there are far more items that need to be tested than the previous tablet candies and solid drinks.

Powder tableting requires the selective use of binders, lubricants or fillers according to the characteristics of the raw materials to ensure that the finished product meets the requirements for participation in the processing and production of tableted candies, solid beverages, special meals and blue hat health food. Professional tablet processing manufacturers will provide one-stop OEM services by combining raw materials and packaging.
