Intravenous Fluid or IV Fluid has quickly become one of the most in-demand and important drugs in hospitals for critical care patients. This Parenteral Drug is one of the widely administered fluids globally, whose formulation and production is a significant and critical process. LITCOMachinery with their immense experience and expertise in designing Sterile Manufacturing plants,has established themselves as one of the leading designers and manufacturers of IV Fluid Manufacturing Plant as we make customizedplants.

IV Fluids which are provided directly to patients, means important aspects need to be maintained during the production process. Commonly provided IV Fluids are Saline and Dextrose. From other Pharmaceutical products, parenteral dosage such as IV Fluid need to fulfill various criteria before they can be administered:-

• Product must be complete sterile
• Product must be physically, chemically and micro-biologically stable throughout its life
• Free from any contamination such as pyrogens

Aseptic Conditions during production is of utmost importance as contamination of processing product has to be prevented. Many Pharmaceutical products are highly reactive and volatile hence it is of utmost important to produce them in Aseptic Conditions that will not contaminate the product. LITCO has mastered the best practices in Industry to provide the best sterile, secured and highly productive plant for Aseptic production. Automation is of utmost importance in Sterile Production and LITCO offers the best automotive process and instrumentation with almost no manual handling of the material.

LITCO’s standard IV Fluid Manufacturing Plant consists of the following:

• Sterile Mixing Vessel( Magentic / Mixing Anchor)
• Sterile Storage Vessel
• Powder Feeding System
• In-line Homogenizer
• Membrane Filter
• Cartridge Filter
• Vacuum System for Online Transfer
• Plant Pipeline
• Aseptic Valves
• Automated Control Panel

WORKING PRINCIPLE OF IV FLUID MFG. PLANT

IV Fluid Manufacturing plant requires absolute sterile conditions for processing hence it is designed to produce aseptic environment with automated processes, to ensure minimal contact. The IV Fluid being a Sterile product follows the basic of other Sterile Manufacturing plants. Sterile Mixing Vessels are provided with Mechanical/Magnetic Stirrer. The Magnetic Stirrer is most recommended to ensure least contamination and contact. Depending upon the nature of process, provision for powder feeding system is also provided into the Sterile Mixing Vessels.

The product is then passed through an In-line Homogenizer for further mixing. Then it is made to pass through a series of Filters such as the Membrane or Cartridge Filter depending upon the user’s requirement. The entire transfer is handled by an Online Vacuum Transfer system for the best productivity and ease of use.

Another important aspect in Sterile Mfg. Plants is to ensure no Dead Legs to prevent unwanted microbial growth. Hence Zero Dead Leg Valves with other Aseptic Valves are provided according to the plant design to prevent impurity formation. The produced Sterile solution is finally transferred to the Sterile Storage Vessel which is then carried forward for packaging or other processes. The entire process is undertaken by our smart Automated Control System with an easy-to-use HMI ensuring all the processes are completed on-time, efficiently and hassle-free with no manual handling.
