Exceptional Surface FinishThese suppository moulds boast a smooth, easy-demoulding surface, which facilitates the hassle-free release of finished suppositories. The superior finish reduces product wastage and enhances efficiency during production, making them a preferred choice for pharmaceutical professionals.
Durable and Heat-Resistant ConstructionCrafted from corrosion-resistant stainless steel or aluminium, these moulds are built to withstand typical melting and filling temperatures for pharmaceutical bases. Their robust construction ensures a long lifespan, even after repeated cycles, supporting cost-effective operations in demanding environments.
Versatility and CustomizationAvailable in various capacities, with options for custom dimensions and strip formations, these moulds meet a wide range of pharmaceutical requirements. Their easy-to-clean, autoclavable design supports consistent hygiene standards, and box packing ensures practical handling and safe storage for exporters, manufacturers, and suppliers.
FAQs of Suppository Moulds:
Q: How do I clean and sterilize suppository moulds after each use?
A: Suppository moulds can be conveniently cleaned and sterilized using an autoclave, ensuring thorough disinfection and compliance with pharmaceutical hygiene standards. Their smooth surface also allows for manual washing if required.
Q: What pharmaceutical bases can be used with these moulds?
A: These moulds are heat-resistant, accommodating most typical pharmaceutical bases used for suppositories, including cocoa butter, glycerinated gelatin, and polyethylene glycol. Always ensure the bases melting point falls within recommended parameters.
Q: When should custom size moulds be requested?
A: Custom size moulds should be requested when your application demands specific cavity dimensions, capacity, or strip size beyond standard offerings. Contact the manufacturer or supplier with your requirements for tailored solutions.
Q: Where are these suppository moulds primarily used?
A: They are extensively used in pharmacies, research laboratories, and pharmaceutical manufacturing units for the safe and consistent formation of rectal or vaginal suppositories.
Q: What is the process for forming suppositories using these moulds?
A: The process involves manually filling the cavities with a melted pharmaceutical base, allowing the contents to cool and solidify. The smooth surface finish enables easy demoulding once the suppositories are formed.
Q: What are the benefits of using these moulds in pharmaceutical production?
A: The primary benefits include multiple-use durability, resistance to corrosion, easy cleaning via autoclaving, efficient demoulding, and versatile capacity options, resulting in improved productivity and product quality.
