Veterinary products are characterised by an extremely wide product range. Because of the many different ingredients, their manufacture requires detailed knowledge of recipes and processes as well as precise process sequences.
Special requirements for production
The manufacture of veterinary products is subject to the strictest requirements – especially for preparations for food-producing animals. In addition, biological substances and certain active ingredients may be among their components.
They therefore require significantly longer production cycles and optimised deagglomeration of the active ingredients. Strict safety and quality criteria also apply, so quality controls can take up a large part of the production time. The specific nature of the components makes manufacturing even more difficult.
Requirements for homogenisers and homogenising mixers
To meet these requirements, homogenisers and homogenising mixers must cover all production-relevant aspects, for example:
- Flexible rotor/stator combinations for different formulations
- Efficient incorporation of powders and breaking up of agglomerates
- GMP-compliant design with CIP cleaning and optional sterilisation (SIP)
- Complete documentation of all production steps via the control system
FAQ: Manufacturing veterinary products
Which veterinary products are manufactured with homogenising mixers?
Among others, ointments, creams and gels, oral suspensions and solutions, udder care products, pour-on preparations, pastes and injection solutions.
What requirements apply to veterinary medicines?
Manufacturing is subject to GMP. Particularly strict requirements apply to preparations for food-producing animals, e.g. with regard to residues and documentation.
Why is deagglomeration of the active ingredients important?
Finely and evenly distributed active ingredients ensure dosing accuracy, efficacy and stability, especially in suspensions and pastes.
Which plant is suitable for such a wide variety of products?
Flexible vacuum homogenising mixers with variable speed, scraper agitator, powder induction and CIP/SIP cover liquid to pasty products in a single plant.
Does SEEFRIED support manufacturers of veterinary products?
Yes, with planning, qualification and inspected used homogenising mixers.
