MANUFACTURING SPECIFICATION:

Average fill of each Bottle is 450 ml.

Volume variation limit allowed in each filled Bottle is 450 ml to 452 ml.

Make up the final volume of the suspension accurately.

Colloid the completely charged batch using Colloidal Mill L-20 by operating it as per its SOP.

Transfer the suspension from charging tank  to storage tank  after complete charging of batch.

Mix the batch, Fill the bottles and also perform the primary packing of bottles at temperature not more than 250 C and Relative Humidity not more than 40.

Yield:

Theoretical Yield is 2222 Bottles.

Expected Practical Yield is 2222 + 2% Bottles.

Packing Details:

 Wash the bottles on Linear Bottle Washing Machine  and operate it as per its SOP.

Transfer the Suspension from storage tank to Linear Bottle Filling and Sealing Machine for filling and then sealing of the bottles as per its SOP.

Fill 450 ml suspension in 485 ml white glass bottle and use 25 mm PP Cap (rubber washer) to seal the bottle mouth.

Inspect each filled and sealed bottle for proper sealing and presence of the foreign particles, if any.

Label every inspected bottle by using the Automatic Bottle Labelling Machine  as per its SOP

Pack 20 filled and sealed bottle in each corrugated box.

Seal each corrugated box with adhesive tape and label it properly by affixing the specified label.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS:

Soak 4.00 kgs of C.M.C Sodium and 1.00 kg of Xanthan Gum in 30 liters of Purified water in Stainless Steel Containers and keep it for 6 hours.

Charge 15 kgs of Sorbitol to charging tank L-09

Addition of Ingredients into the Charging Tank while stirring continuously:       

Dissolve 2.0 kgs of Sodium Citrate in 5 Liters of Purified water and add to the bulk batch.

Dissolve 0.500 kgs of Aspartum 2.0 Ltrs of Purified water and add to the bulk batch.

Slowly transfer 55.00kgs of Aluminium Hydroxide Powder to the bulk batch.

Add 200 Ltrs of Purified Water to the bulk batch.

Slowly transfer 55.00 kgs of Magnesium Hydroxide Powder to the bulk batch.

Add 1.6 kgs of Aerosil to the bulk batch.

Dissolve 0.500 kgs of Bronopol in 2 Ltrs of Purified water and add to the bulk batch.

Slowly transfer 35.00 kgs of Simethicone to the bulk batch.

Dissolve 0.75 kgs of Erythrosine color in 5 Ltrs of Purified water and add to the bulk batch.

Dissolve 0.800 kg of methyl paraben (plain) and 0.200 kg of Propyl paraben (plain) in 4.0kgs.of hot P.G and add to the bulk batch.

Mix the whole batch for 1 hour and then colloid the batch.

Colloid the batch through Colloid Mill  by operating it as per its SOP  and transfer it to the Charging Tank.

Dissolve 0.200 kgs of Menthol in 4.5 liters of Spirit Chloroform and add to the bulk batch

Add 2.0 liters of Raspberry flavor to the bulk batch.

Make up the volume with Purified water to 1600 Ltrs and mix until homogeneous.

Leave the Suspension to settle for overnight or for minimum 8 hours.

Again check the volume and make up with Purified water to 1000 Liters and mix until homogeneous.

Check the self pH of Solution to be in between 8.0 – 9.0

Send the sample to Quality Control Department for bulk testing.

Transfer it to the Storage Tank .

IN-PROCESS CONTROLS:

The following in-process controls should be maintained during the processing:

Check Raw materials used for manufacturing purpose are all approved materials and have ‘Released’ labels fixed on it.

All weighed Raw materials should be counter-checked by Manufacturing Chemist. If any discrepancy is noticed, it should be immediately brought to the notice of Production  and QC/QA Manager.

Physical characteristics of Raw material like colour, odour, and consistency are checked before compounding.

Final volume should be made as per Standard Operating Procedure using correct dipstick in the  Manufacturing Chemist.

pH of the bulk should be checked and it should be with in specified limits.

Bulk sample should be sent for analysis to Quality Control Department before starting the filling and sealing stage.

The  Manufacturing Chemist should check intermittently filled volume at 30 minutes interval and record for the same should be kept in Batch Manufacturing Record.

The net volume should be checked for all the filling nozzles and in no case, net volume should be less than   volume claimed on the label.

Limit for Volume Variation:  Volume claimed on the label + 2ml

Visual inspection of filled and sealed bottles should be done as per SOP and the record of the same should be kept in the Batch Manufacturing Record.

Suspensions should be filled under constant slow speed stirring to maintain uniformity of contents.

The labels and cartons should be checked thoroughly for proper batch coding.

Intimation should be sent to Quality Control Department for finished product sampling and testing.

After the completion of labelling and packaging, the coded labels and cartons should be accounted for and rejected printed material should be destroyed in the presence of QC/QA Manager. Maintain the destruction of the same in the Batch Manufacturing Record.

It will be ensure that filling or packaging equipment has been properly cleaned.

Filling or packaging of next product should not commence until the IPQA has given the ‘Line Clearance’.
