STEP – II (DRY MIXING):
- Transfer sifted Sodium Starch Glycolate IP, Talcum IP, Starch IP and Aerosil IP in Octagonal Blender (capacity: 60 liter) and mix for 10 minutes.
- Mixing Time: 10 minutes (clockwise direction)
- Mixing Speed: 15 RPM
- Add sifted Deflazacort in the material of Step-II (a) and mix for 10 minutes.
- Mixing Time: 10 minutes (clockwise direction)
- Mixing Speed: 15 RPM
- Unload the material of Step-II (b) from Octagonal blender in one Polybag (capacity: 20 kg).
STEP – III (PRE-LUBRICATION):
Load the mixed material of Step –II(c) in Double Cone Blender (capacity: 200 liter) from Polybag and add sifted MCCP PH 112 IP in Double cone blender and mix properly till uniform mixing.
- Mixing Time: 30 minutes (15 minutes clockwise direction and 15 minutes anti-clockwise direction)
- Mixing Speed: 10 RPM
STEP – IV (LUBRICATION):
Add the sifted Magnesium Stearate IP in Pre Lubricated Materials of Step-III in Double Cone Blender and mix properly till uniform mixing of materials with Magnesium Stearate IP.
- Mixing Time: 05 minutes.
- Mixing Speed: 10 RPM.
STEP- V (BLEND SAMPLE ANALYSIS):
After completion of lubrication, collect the composite blend sample (Qty. 10 gm) and send to QC for analysis according to the table below:
| Test | Specification |
| Appearance of blend
Blend Uniformity Blend Assay LOD Bulk Density Tapped Density Compressibility Index Hausner Ratio |
White color free flowing granular powder
90 % to 110 % 98 % to 103 % 1.0 % to 1.5 % (To be established in next batch) To be established in next batch To be established in next batch To be established in next batch To be established in next batch |
STEP – VI:
- Take Tare Weight of two Poly-lined HDPE Containers (capacity: 30 liter each), record the Tare Weight in BMR and unload the above blended material from Double Cone Blender in Poly-lined HDPE Containers (capacity: 30 liter each) and weigh the material with containers and record the Gross Weight of the material and calculate the Net Weight of the material as per given formula:
- Net Weight = Gross Weight – Tare weight
- Affix the status label with following details – Product Name, Batch No., Batch Size, Mfg. Date, Exp. Date, Tare Weight, Gross Weight and Net Weight on the Poly-lined HDPE Container.
- Batch Yield of Lubricated granules:
- Theoretical Batch Yield: 55.000 kg (100 %)

STEP – VII:
- Clean all equipments used in the granulation as per respective equipment cleaning SOP.
- COMPRESSION:
STEP – I:
- After receiving of QC approval for the blend, verify the Net Weight of the received blend as per status label in Granules Day Store.
- After confirmation continue the compression with 35 stations (D-Tooling) Compression Machine of the blend as per the following parameters and In Process checks under controlled environmental condition.
