1. Blender an efficient and versatile blending machine for mixing and lubrication process

of dry granules equally.

2. Capsule filler is the mechanical device that fills the powders (active ingredients and the
mixtures of active ingredients with combinations of different excipients) into hard or soft
gelatin capsules .
3. Coating pan used for sugar and film coating of tablets, pallets and granules.
4. Controlled room- air conditioned
5. Crimper are designed for the connection of electrical and metal components by cutting,
stripping, bending, and deforming.
6. Drying oven It is mainly used for the sterilization of glasswares such as pestle and motar,
petridishes, flasks, pipettes, bottles, test tubes etc.
7. Filling apparatus fill ointment/cream in cylindrical aluminium collapsible/ lami/
coextruded plastic tubes and close it absolutely safely and symmetrically.
8. Filter assembly They are constructed of randomly oriented fibers or particles (e.g.,
diatomaceous earth, porcelain, asbestos) that have been pressed, wound, or otherwise
bonded together to form a tortuous pathway for flow.
9. Funnel is used to channel liquid or fine-grained substances into containers with a small
opening
10. Glassware - refers to a variety of equipment, traditionally made of glass, used for scientific
experiments and other work in science, especially in chemistry and biology laboratories.
11.

Granulator used to improve the flow of powder mixtures and mechanical properties of
tablets.

12.Mixer instruments that help to form a homogenous mixture from more than
one ingredient.
13.Mixing bowl bowl used for mixing of ingredients
14.Mixing conatainer container used for mixing of ingredients
15.Mortar and pestle used to prepare ingredients or substances by crushing and
grinding them into a fine paste or powder
16.Ointment slab are either ground glass plates or porcelain and provide a hard,
nonabsorbable surface for mixing.
17.Pill tile used in conjunction with a small spatula to mix, roll, or divide small
quantities of pills.

18.Sieves device for separating wanted elements from unwanted material or for
characterizing the particle size distribution of a sample, typically using a woven
screen such as a mesh or net or metal.
19.Sterilizer/Autoclave used in medical applications to perform sterilization and
in the chemical industry to cure coatings and vulcanize rubber and for
hydrothermal synthesis.
