Veterinary products are characterised by an extremely wide product range. Because of the many different ingredients, their production requires precise knowledge of recipes and processes as well as exact production sequences.
Special production requirements
The production of veterinary products is subject to the strictest requirements – especially for preparations given to food-producing animals. In addition, they can contain biological substances and certain active ingredients.
They therefore require much 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 production 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 recipes
- 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: Producing veterinary products
Which veterinary products are made with homogenising mixers?
Among others ointments, creams and gels, oral suspensions and solutions, udder care products, pour-on preparations, pastes and injection solutions.
Which requirements apply to veterinary medicines?
Production is subject to GMP. Especially strict requirements apply to preparations for food-producing animals, e.g. regarding residues and documentation.
Why is deagglomeration of active substances important?
Finely and evenly distributed actives ensure dosing accuracy, efficacy and stability, particularly in suspensions and pastes.
Which plant suits such a broad product range?
Flexible vacuum homogenising mixers with variable speed, scraper agitator, powder induction and CIP/SIP cover liquid to pasty products in one plant.
Does SEEFRIED support veterinary product manufacturers?
Yes, with planning, qualification and inspected used homogenising mixers.
