Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals is expanding rapidly to accommodate the continued growth of our customers. Through the use of innovative manufacturing techniques and supported by analytical verification we ensure the integrity of every product manufactured for our customers.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals offers an in-house Research and Development Lab, which is dedicated to working with our customers to help create formulations that meet or exceed their product specifications. Our R&D Lab allows us to develop formulations using laboratory size equipment and then scale up to production size batches formulating on a lab and pilot scale prior to processing a production batch. This ensures that production runs will be successful and minimizes loss of material during the development stage. We can offer our customers help in both developing new products and formulations as well as solving existing problems. Assisting customers in developing exacting specifications that can be reproduced in a manufacturing environment is of primary importance to our R&D effort.

GRANULATION

Granulation - Fluid Bed

Our large capacity fluid bed dryers are used to produce a wide range of granulated materials. Liquids are introduced into the chamber with a spray system while the product is being moved by heated air to create the granulation. When the product has been dried to the required moisture level it is milled and screened to collect the desired mesh size. What are fluid bed dryers? Fluid bed dryers are designed to dry powder particles, where the residual moisture content is higher than what is wanted in the final powder. Hot drying air is distributed through specially designed perforated plates, on which the powder particles/agglomerates are resting.

Granulation - Fluid Chilsonation

The velocity of the drying air makes the powder ‘fluidize’, i.e. the particles get airborne; however, to the extent that only the finest/smallest particles leave the fluid bed with the air, while the bigger particles/agglomerates are conveyed/transported with the upward and forward directed flow of air (due to the perforation technique of the plate) into the subsequent section. Here cold and/or dehumidified air is introduced to cool the powder to the wanted temperature. Fluid bed drying is suited for powders, granules, agglomerates and pellets with an average particle size between 50 microns and 5 mm.

Hi-Tech offers Chilsonation systems that are used to create granulated products when no liquid can be added to the raw material. Raw material is passed between high-pressure rollers to form a sheet of material that is processed through a Fitzpatrick Mill that grinds the product into a granular form. The ground material is then screened to collect the desired mesh size.

Dry Granulation Capabilities

Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals has 2 processing rooms for dry granulation, both of which are dedicated to food and nutritional products. Each independent room has its own air, water, ventilation, and dust collection system to reduce the possibilities of cross contamination. Hi-Tech has one Fitzpatrick L-89 chilsonator and one L-83 chilsonator. All equipment has stainless steel contact parts. We have extensive experience dry granulating various sports supplements,weight loss ingredients,antioxidants, specialty chemicals, herbal extracts, calcium/magnesium carbonate, and hydroscopic or low-melting point ingredients.

Why Dry Granulation?

To create a desired particle size. Through dry granulation, you can take a powder, increase the particle size, and control the distribution of the particle size.

For blending similar products. Often times, our customers need to blend different materials that vary in particle size. By matching particle sizes, they can achieve a uniform blend.

To improve product flow. Powders tend to tunnel and cake. A granular product allows your product to flow freely through your production process.

To increase/decrease bulk density. By controlling the bulk density, you can control the flow and metering ability of a product.

To control particle hardness. Particle hardness can affect the dissolution and dispersion rates of a product. Also, the hardness of a particle helps to limit the disintegration of the product. By varying the pressure of the rolls in the chilsonator, we can improve the performance of a product.

To reduce dust. A dusty work environment is not only a nuisance but can pose a serious health and explosion risk. A granular product significantly reduces dusting.

Cost. Dry granulation is a much cheaper process than wet granulation.

MIXING

Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals has several style mixers to accommodate custom blending requirements. The variety of mixers available allow Hi-Tech the flexibility to process high and low capacity batch sizes. All material is passed through a screen as it is loaded into the blender to ensure that no foreign material or objects are introduced to the mixture. All weighing is verified in accordance with our quality control procedure to ensure that the proper amount of each raw material is added to the blend. Hi-Tech ultilizes a novel auger/screw blender, which reduces your standard deviation to within a fraction of a percent. As a result, you can expect the most uniformed and thorough blending throughout Hi-Tech's wide range of capacities and features.

Regardless of whether you wish to slowly tumble a delicate product or rapid-mix a viscous one, our engineers will choose the right solution that best fits your specific formula and production requirements. Our blenders are all USDA/FDA Approved and have Capacities of 50-Pounds to 5,000-Pounds. Hi-Tech employs several agitation options: Paddle, Ribbon, or Auger Screw to best suit your needs!Hi-Tech has extensive experience with agglomeration and blending. We offer large scale blending, particle sizing, instantizing, agglomerating and fluid bed drying of nearly any type of food ingredient. We also offer pH modification, fat incorporation, and wet ingredient blending with dry powders.We operate a rigorous HACCP program and take great care with sanitation and storage procedures.

*Hi-tech has multiple sets of change parts for 00,0,1,2,3,and size 4 capsules. This enables Hi-tech to knock most jobs out in less than a week. Each encapsulor also has its own capsule polisher so the capsules come out real shiny. Most manufacturers do not bother to polish the capsules after they run them, which leaves them dusty and will ultimately cause the bottle to show dust as the capsule rub against the bottle. We also have 2 Mocon Vericap 2500 capsule check weighers we just got out of Pfizer Brooklyn that allows us to set our tolerances for example +/- 3% and if the capsule did not meet the correct fill weight it will eject the capsule at 2500 capsules per minute. Very few nutritional companies buys these machines as they are really expensive, but for GMP compliance- Hi-Tech felt we needed exact precision on capsules as they fluctuate more than tablets during a run.
