This laboratory serves as a dedicated facility for basic formulation training, providing students with practical exposure to the machinery and techniques used in pharmaceutical manufacturing. The machine room is equipped with a comprehensive range of equipment, enabling hands-on learning in various dosage form preparations.
Key instruments include tablet punching machines (both manual and automatic) for tablet compression, an ointment mill for semi-solid preparation, and a liquid filling machine for precise dispensing of liquid formulations. For parenteral dosage forms, the lab houses ampoule washing machines and ampoule sealing machines, ensuring students understand the fundamentals of sterile product handling.
Additionally, equipment such as the ball mill for size reduction, double cone blender for uniform mixing of powders, capsule filling machine for encapsulation, coating pan for tablet coating, and mechanical sieving machine for particle size separation, provide comprehensive training in pharmaceutical production techniques. The facility also features a mixer-cum-grinder and specialized apparatus to study the flow of fluids and frictional losses, helping students grasp essential concepts in pharmaceutics and process engineering.
By working with these machines, learners develop technical competence, operational skills, and an understanding of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), preparing them for careers in the pharmaceutical industry.
