In cough syrup production, the fast incorporation of heavy solids and of raw materials with different consistencies plays a major role. Active ingredients are mixed with additives such as alcohol solutions and syrups to obtain a stable product.
Homogenising mixers for cough syrup
Homogenisers and homogenising mixers are ideally suited to cough syrup production, because they are powerful and flexible. Homogenisers owe their versatility above all to homogenisation in the recirculation process.
Homogenising mixers also enable radial and vertical mixing. This ensures optimal heating and cooling times.
Short production and cleaning times
- fast incorporation of heavy solids through targeted addition of raw materials
- short production and cleaning times
- dead-space-free cleaning via a CIP cleaning system
- sterilisation via an optional SIP system
FAQ: Producing cough syrup
How is cough syrup produced industrially?
Active ingredients are mixed with sugar syrup, alcohol or glycerol solutions, flavours and preservatives and dissolved or dispersed until a homogeneous, storage-stable product is obtained, which is then tested and filled.
Which machine is suitable for cough syrup production?
Agitator and homogenising mixers with recirculation homogenisation, a jacketed vessel and radial-vertical mixing incorporate solids quickly and shorten heating and cooling times.
How are heavy solids incorporated quickly?
By controlled addition, ideally by vacuum induction directly below the liquid level into the homogeniser, which prevents lumps and sediment at the vessel bottom.
How are cough syrup plants cleaned?
With a CIP system for dead-space-free cleaning and optionally SIP for sterilisation with clean steam.
Does SEEFRIED supply plants for cough syrups?
Yes. SEEFRIED Verfahrenstechnik plans process plants for liquid pharmaceuticals and offers inspected used homogenising mixers.
