Pharmaceutical Extrusion Technology – ALU–ALU and ALU–PVC: What’s the Difference?
In the pharmaceutical industry, a tablet must not only be formulated correctly — it must also be properly protected. Blister packaging plays a vital role in shielding active ingredients from moisture, oxygen, and light, ensuring product stability throughout its shelf life.
📌 Today, the two most common blister packaging technologies are:
✅ ALU–ALU (Cold Forming)
– Formed by cold pressing aluminum with a mold, without using heat
– Consists of two tightly pressed aluminum layers, creating a completely sealed blister
– Ideal for sensitive drugs such as biologics, specialty medicines, and antibiotics
✅ ALU–PVC/PPC (Thermoforming)
– Uses heat to shape plastic (PVC or PPC), then seals with an aluminum layer
– High production speed, cost-effective
– Suitable for general pharmaceuticals, supplements, and common tablets

In the pharmaceutical industry, equipment must not only be modern — it must be validated to ensure safety, consistency, and GMP compliance.
In the pharmaceutical industry, investing in machinery is not just about cost—it is also about quality, GMP compliance, and production optimization. That’s why DQ - Design Qualification is a mandatory step to ensure that equipment meets the right requirements from the beginning!
In the pharmaceutical industry, choosing machinery is not just about price or technology—it must also meet strict quality standards. This is where URS (User Requirement Specification) plays a crucial role!
Choosing the right pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment is one of the critical factors determining the success of an investment project. However, not everyone understands and implements it correctly. Below are some guidelines to help you select pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment properly.
Choosing an unreliable supplier for pharmaceutical machinery can expose your business to serious risks
Quality and Reliability of Equipment
Ensure that machinery meets international certifications like CE and Atex, complies with GMP standards, and operates stably and durably. Quality management should follow ISO 9001.
In modern pharmaceutical manufacturing, Tangential Spray technology in the Fluid Bed has brought a groundbreaking advancement. This advanced method involves spraying liquid materials (solutions or suspensions) at a tangential angle to the fluidized particles or pellets. The result? A swirling motion that ensures precise, uniform coating or granulation in a very short time.
The wall from ceiling down to the floor level, making the line fully visible from the operator side with no air ducts on the front side.
Ensuring operational safety in the pharmaceutical industry is critical to maintain product quality, protect employees, protect environment and comply with regulatory standards. Here are some key requirements for ensuring process machine operational safety in the pharmaceutical industry:

The wet granulation process in two separate steps is the most widely used technology and it is suitable for traditional drug mixing equipment such as Mixer & Granulator and Fluid-bed Dryer & Granulator.
The one-step granulation process helps to create granules directly, by granulating acid and alkali granules together. Usually, water is used as a granulation solution, so the effervescent reaction must be controlled during the granulation process. Ethanol or propanol can also be used as a granulation solution, but then additional binders are needed to achieve the necessary cohesion. There are 2 types of equipment used to prepare effervescent tablets according to this technology
Effervescent tablets have the main advantage of being easy to use, especially effective for patients who are children. However, their production is more complicated than traditional tablets, especially the selection of technology and equipment.
The effects of the new variant are difficult to announce accurately because unlike previous variants, Omicron mainly attacks young people who have better resistance.
