  • 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:

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 %)
  • Actual Batch Yield Limit NLT 54.450 kg (NLT 99 %) (To be established in next batch).

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.
