Commonly freeze drying machines
are very useful in food processing industry mainly used to increase the life
span of the food for longer. In
pharmaceutical industries, these are also playing a vital role in order to
increase the storage period of drugs. In this industry, consuming the drugs
within the accurate time is so important otherwise it may show its negative
effects rather than curing. If those drugs will go through drying process,
obviously their life span will be increased.
You may have question about the
pharmaceutical freeze drying process. Okay, freeze drying pharmaceuticals use a
process called “lyophilization” which is first lower the temperature of the
product to below freezing and after that a high-pressure vacuum created in
order to depart water from the products. The water collected in vapor form and
collected through a condenser which later turns back to ice and removed. After
this process, a temperature is applied which extracts all the rest water from
the products. Through this process, physical structure will be retained up and
preserves the material for storage or make ready for transport.
The Pros and Cons of Drying
Pharmaceuticals
Pros
The main and huge advantage of
this procedure is, delicate, precarious, or the drugs those have heat
sensitivity nature, they can be dried at low temperature without affecting the
physical structure. The products those are freeze-dried they can be
reconstituted within a little period of time without using any external force.
This is the one of the much needed procedure to preserve much needed emergency
vaccines and antibodies and they need to be administered as soon as possible.
Cons
Maintaining frozen storage is
costlier compared to others and also it takes up a lot of space. Additionally
transportation of the frozen materials can be difficult and need a lot of
money. In case, there is a failure of the freezing equipment, it may risk for
the total loss of the unit for the product.
As
advantages are extensively offering more than disadvantages, you need to use
these drugs which are produce with drying process. The freeze drying machine
also one of the complicated equipment and require proper timing and action to
make the result possibly well. So opt for the machine today and increase the
value of your precious medicines.
