Quick Answer: Tablet friability testing measures a tablet’s resistance to mechanical stress. Pharmaceutical standards often set a strict limit of not more than 1.0% weight loss. Canaan’s tableting machines deliver ±1.5% weight accuracy using 0.01 mm servo-driven precision. This solid dosage equipment can help manufacturers meet these strict regulatory standards. What Is Friability of Tablets? […]

Quick Answer: Tablet excipients are inactive substances that help maintain precise drug delivery and consistent formulation flow. Proper selections must meet USP and FDA guidelines for solid oral dosage forms. CANAAN manufacturing equipment helps processors meet these precise regulatory standards. Our machines feature CE certification and deliver a weight deviation of under one percent. What […]

Quick Answer: A tablet lubricant prevents powder sticking and reduces friction during compression, typically used at concentrations of 0.25% to 1.5%. Improper mixing or concentration can decrease tablet hardness and prolong disintegration time. Canaan ensures its pharmaceutical equipment meets these strict hygienic processing standards. The company has FDA and GMP certified components and serves over […]

A tablet-making machine compresses powder or granules into tablets with controlled weight, hardness, and shape. This guide explains how it works, what affects output, and how buyers can judge fit for OSD production. If you work in engineering, production, or sourcing, the main goal is simple: stable tablets at the required speed. To reach that […]

Humidity control matters because it changes how powders behave, how tablets form, and how stable the finished product stays.  In this guide, you’ll learn the recommended RH ranges, what goes wrong when air is too dry or too wet, how to monitor moisture, and which fixes work in real production. Done well, pharmaceutical humidity control […]

Tablets are one of the most common supplement formats because they are stable, portable, and easy to dose. To make them at scale, a tablet press machine is the core tool. It turns blended powders into consistent tablets while supporting key goals like uniform weight, controlled hardness, and efficient production.  This guide explains how tablets […]

The key difference in OTC vs. prescription drugs is not how they are sold. In manufacturing, the real difference is the process risk level. Risk level affects API handling, dust control, containment, validation, and tablet press design. In general, OTC drugs involve lower-risk APIs, while prescription drugs may involve higher-risk or more potent APIs. This […]

Oral solid dose manufacturing produces tablets, capsules, and other medicines taken by mouth. These products dissolve in the digestive system and release active ingredients into the bloodstream. Many people take medicines in solid form every day. Tablets and capsules are simple to store, transport, and use. Because of these advantages, they remain the most common […]

Tablet hardness problems happen when tablets become too soft, too hard, or inconsistent. These issues affect product quality, drug release, and packaging stability. The solution involves controlling formulation, compression parameters, and environmental conditions during production. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, tablets must remain strong during packaging and transport. At the same time, they must dissolve correctly inside […]

A tablet in a pharmacy is a solid medicine made by compressing active drug ingredients with other supporting substances. It is one of the most common dosage forms used in modern medicine. Tablets are easy to carry, simple to take, and allow accurate dosing for patients. This guide introduces the purpose of tablets and how […]

Pills come in many forms. Each one is designed to help people take medicine safely and comfortably. The most common types are tablets and capsules. There are also other special forms made to meet different health needs. These options exist because medicines behave differently inside the body. People also have different challenges and preferences when […]

Manufacturing consistency means producing the same pharmaceutical product with the same quality, every single time. Automation improves this by controlling mechanical actions, stabilizing process parameters, and ensuring batch-to-batch reproducibility. In this article, you will learn how equipment precision, closed-loop control, and data validation work together to reduce variability and increase process robustness. In pharmaceutical production, […]
