Vehicle for automated
material handling system
Automatic Guided Vehicle (AGV)
container constructed of
molded plastic, fiberglass, or
plywood with steel reinforcing and is used for storage and
transportation of goods
Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC)
batch processing technology
compounding and blending in an enclosed system, dust free and automatically
maintains complete batch integrity, instant product change over, limited need for external dust control, and complete protection against the unwanted migration of materials
Parallel Processing
Method of cleaning the interior surfaces of pipes, vessels, equipment and associated fittings, without disassembly
Clean in Place (CIP)
Compliance to standards
Production Facility
entry from ‘E’ to ‘O’ area is restricted by _____
separate gowning procedure
complex multi-stage process
starting materials change their physical characteristics a number of times before the final
dosage form is produced
Manufacture of Solid DDS

inert substance added to increase tablet size to a manageable size
Diluent
substance that “glue” powders together and cause them to form granules
Granulating Agent
an agent that act between surfaces in relative motion to prevent friction and wear
lubricant
a material that improves the flow characteristics of granulations by aiding in the flow of materials through smaller apertures in the tablet press
glidant
an agent that prevents granulations from sticking to the faces of the punches and die walls
anti-adherent
Methods of adding flow activators
Spraying; Bolting
Problems in fluidity
