Tablet Manufacturing

We support conventional, effervescent and chewable tablet projects from formulation feasibility through compression and packaging. We can assess the tablet type suited to your product’s intended use and technical requirements.

Annual Tablet Capacity

1 billion tablets per year is the combined capacity for conventional and effervescent tablets, based on three-shift operations. Within this total, effervescent tablet capacity is 35 million tablets per year. No separate annual capacity is stated for chewable tablets.

Conventional Tablets

Tablet design, granulation where required, compression, coating and packaging.

Formulation Feasibility

Ingredient properties, dose, particle characteristics, blend flow and compression performance are considered.

Roller compactor (dry granulation) machine

Controlled Weighing

All raw materials are weighed in dedicated booths with controlled temperature, relative humidity and airflow. Every weighing operation is independently verified by a second authorized employee.

Tablet Compression

Appropriate blending, granulation when required and tablet compression are performed under defined process parameters.

Blend properties, flow, compression force, hardness, friability and other relevant process parameters are evaluated.

Coating

Tablets can receive colored or clear film coatings and enteric coatings. Coating is a separate operation performed after tablet compression; the appropriate option is determined by product requirements.

In-House Packaging

Suitable bottle, blister and tube formats are evaluated according to product characteristics.

Bottle and suitable blister packaging, including Alu/Alu and PVC/Alu, are available according to project needs.

Traceability

Raw-material lots, production batches and relevant process records are linked through ERP. Explore our quality and traceability approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you check acid resistance and release of enteric-coated tablets using a dissolution apparatus?

Yes. As with enteric-coated softgels, we use a dissolution test apparatus to check acid resistance and release behavior of enteric-coated tablets under conditions representing gastric acidity.

Which tablet formats do you manufacture?

Conventional, effervescent and chewable tablets.

What is a conventional tablet?

A compressed solid dosage form intended for use according to its product instructions.

Can you manufacture our existing formulation?

Yes, following a feasibility assessment.

Minimum order quantity and production timing are assessed for each project according to formulation, packaging and material availability. See Frequently Asked Questions for general information.
