In the production of cough syrups, the fast incorporation of heavy solids and of raw materials of different consistencies plays a major role. In this process, active ingredients are mixed with additives such as alcohol solutions and syrups to form a stable product.
Homogenising mixers for cough syrup
Homogenisers and homogenising mixers are ideally suited to manufacturing cough syrup, as they are powerful and flexible. Homogenisers owe their versatility above all to homogenisation in the circulation process.
Homogenising mixers also enable radial and vertical mixing. This ensures optimum heating and cooling times.
Short production and cleaning times
- Fast incorporation of heavy solids through targeted addition of the raw materials
- Short production and cleaning times
- Dead-space-free cleaning via a CIP cleaning system
- Sterilisation via an optional SIP system
FAQ: Manufacturing cough syrup
How is cough syrup manufactured industrially?
Active ingredients are mixed with sugar syrup, alcohol or glycerol solutions, flavourings and preservatives and dissolved or dispersed until a homogeneous, storage-stable product is obtained. It is then tested and filled.
Which machine is suitable for cough syrup production?
Agitating and homogenising mixers with circulation homogenisation, a heatable vessel and radial-vertical mixing. They incorporate solids quickly and shorten heating and cooling times.
How are heavy solids incorporated quickly?
Through targeted addition, ideally by vacuum directly below the liquid level into the homogeniser. This prevents lumps and sediment on the vessel bottom.
How are plants for cough syrup cleaned?
With a CIP system for dead-space-free cleaning and optional SIP for sterilisation with clean steam.
Does SEEFRIED supply plants for cough syrup and syrups?
Yes. SEEFRIED Verfahrenstechnik designs process plants for liquid pharmaceuticals and offers inspected used homogenising mixers.
