    [ Market analysis of chemical machinery equipment network ] In solid preparations, especially in granules and tablets, granulation is a common process.
    The so-called granulation refers to the processing of materials in the state of powder, molten liquid, and aqueous solution into granular materials of a certain shape and size, which are convenient for packaging and tableting, and convenient for patients to take.

    It is understood that the granulation method can be divided into dry granulation, wet granulation, spray granulation, and one-step granulation.
    Among them, wet granulation is a granulation method that is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry.
    Adding a binder or a wetting agent to the drug powder to make a soft material, sieving to make wet granules, and then granulating the wet granules after drying.
    It has the advantages of good compression formability and beautiful appearance.
    In recent years, with the rapid development of the solid preparation industry, the market demand for wet granulation related equipment has also increased.

    Solid preparation is a kind of dosage form that is widely used in medicine and has many varieties, and it occupies an important share in pharmaceutical preparations.
    With the intensification of aging and the upgrading of residents' consumption levels, the pharmaceutical market demand will continue to expand, and the solid preparation industry will also usher in a broader space for development.

     

    At the same time, as the pharmaceutical reform gradually enters the deep water zone and the industry reshuffle is accelerating, many pharmaceutical companies are also accelerating their deployment in the solid preparation industry to consolidate their own advantages, improve market competitiveness and industry influence.

     

    For example, ST Tiansheng mentioned on the interactive platform in November 2020 that it will continue to expand and strengthen the oral solid preparation and small-volume injection market in the future.
    At the same time, the company will use the Dianjiang oral solid preparation digital factory to be completed and put into production to achieve Increase capital efficiency, improve quality and increase, produce scale effects, and enhance the competitiveness of listed companies.

     

    No *Coincidentally, Hainan Haiyao has invested 700 million yuan in the construction of a preparation production base project.
    After completion, it will achieve an annual output of 3 billion solid preparations, 50 million powder injections, 30 million injections, and 10 million gels.
    Lay a solid foundation for the company to realize the layout of the entire industry chain.

     

    It is foreseeable that with the continuous development and growth of the solid preparation industry, wet granulation technology will be more widely used, and the related equipment involved in the application process, such as the swing granulator in the wet granulation process, high-speed stirring granulation Machines , and heating and drying equipment such as microwave drying or far-infrared drying are also ushering in an increase in demand.

      The future development direction of the industry

      With the advancement of the medical reform, as well as the increase in labor costs and raw material costs, the solid preparation industry is also facing certain pressures.
    Therefore, while the wet granulation equipment industry sees opportunities, it also needs to "solve problems" for solid preparation companies and continuously upgrade equipment.
    ,technology.

     

      Some pharmaceutical industry personnel pointed out that in the next five years or so, the continuous production mode may be a development direction that the solid preparation industry needs to study.
    In this mode, it can start from the production of raw materials to the time when the finished product is made.
    According to the process requirements, each The process is kept continuous, which greatly reduces the cost input of the enterprise and improves the production efficiency.
    "Especially in the context of the normalization of centralized procurement, many pharmaceutical companies are facing capacity challenges, and continuous production is a breakthrough new model.
    " This person said.

     

      The author has learned that, in fact, domestic solid preparation equipment companies represented by large-scale enterprises are also actively improving the continuous production of equipment.
    For example, a solid preparation equipment manufacturing company can provide customers with technologies and services ranging from powder to tablets and capsules, allowing customers to flexibly develop, produce and package their products, so that products can move from mass production to continuous production.
    The company not only provides innovative solutions for the continuous production of solid pharmaceuticals, but also paves the way for more efficient pharmaceutical production.

     

      There are also equipment companies assisting companies to promote the intelligent solid preparation equipment project of traditional Chinese medicine.
    It is reported that the project is used for the production of five major dosage forms such as tablets, of which the goal of annual production of 3.
    3 billion Chinese medicine tablets can be achieved.
    At the same time, all links such as the storage and transportation of raw and auxiliary materials, packaging materials, preparation production, and finished product warehousing will achieve process-oriented, continuous, automated, and standardized operations.

     

      In addition, with the upgrading of user needs, many equipment manufacturers have gradually transformed and upgraded from a single equipment supplier to a solid preparation equipment overall solution supplier.

     

      Concluding remarks
     
    Concluding remarks
      In general, the continuous production of solid preparations will be a new direction for the development of the industry.
    In this context, the preparation equipment industry needs to keep pace with the times, provide pharmaceutical companies with more equipment, technology, and solution support, help companies achieve continuous production, reduce cost input, and ensure product quality, price, and supply.
    stable.
