CIPM 2025 Qingdao Recap | HUANGHAI Highlights in ODF & QC
HUANGHAI at CIPM 2025 (Qingdao Cosmopolitan Exposition)
1) Why CIPM Matters
The China International Pharmaceutical Machinery Exposition (CIPM) is one of the most influential platforms for pharma equipment in China, organized by the China Association for Pharmaceutical Equipment and held twice a year. The Autumn 2025 edition took place on 16–18 October at the Qingdao Cosmopolitan Exposition. With over 150,000 m² of show floor and more than 1,600 exhibitors across thematic halls—formulation equipment, API equipment, packaging, quality testing, cleaning systems, automation, and smart factory—CIPM is a key window for discovering new technologies, regulatory trends, and automation innovations.
2) Our Booth Highlights
At CIPM 2025 (Qingdao), HUANGHAI showcased three core technology tracks that drew strong interest from domestic and international visitors:
2.1 ODF Integrated Solution
We presented a full workflow from solution preparation → precision coating → drying → cutting & packaging → testing, demonstrating configurations that scale from R&D to commercial production. Visitors focused most on film thickness uniformity, drying efficiency, batch record retention, and ease of cleaning. Our engineers also explained how to mix and match modules for different dosage formats.
- Featured equipment: MJ180 ODF Film Cutting & Packaging
- Featured equipment: MJ150 ODF & Transdermal Patch Film Making Machine
ODF line: five functional blocks from lab to commercial.
2.2 Laser Drilling for Osmotic Tablets
We introduced the Olando K3-2 system with the vision module, highlighting an integrated approach of stable orifice control + auto rejection + data traceability. Multiple formulators asked how to connect the laser module to MES/LIMS to meet FDA 21 CFR Part 11 audit trails.
- Product page: Olando K3-2 Pharmaceutical Laser Drilling System
- Key points: in-line vision inspection, auto-reject, nonconformity statistics, batch record retention.
2.3 QC & Lab Instruments
We displayed core instruments including dissolution testers, disintegration testers, tablet hardness testers, and moisture analyzers, with live demonstrations of printer/PC connectivity to streamline data capture and analysis for GMP workflows.
- Explore more: Dissolution Instruments collection
- Use cases: formulation screening, process optimization, release testing, stability studies, incoming and in-process checks.
3) In the Field
Throughout the show, our team engaged with visitors from India, Vietnam, Canada, Egypt, and across China. Many tried our instruments on site and expressed interest in product trials or co-development. ODF patches, oral dissolvable films, and functional nutrition applications were frequent topics—signaling strong market momentum for thin-film formats.
4) Compliance & Future Outlook
In response to increasingly rigorous global regulations, we continue to strengthen:
- Data integrity (ODF machines and the Olando K3-2 designed to support 21 CFR Part 11 compliance)
- GMP validation documentation support (DQ / IQ / OQ / PQ)
- Modular expansion interfaces and custom automation retrofits
Looking ahead, HUANGHAI will focus on high-precision coating, smart inspection, and data compliance to support pharma and health-product manufacturing at higher standards.

*Images are from the exhibition. For media use or originals, please contact us. Specifications are subject to the final technical agreement and quotation.
*Features patented hot-air drying technology (Academician Hou Huimin's patent CN201668734U), delivering higher heating efficiency and uniformity than oven heating.
Explosion-proof electrical configuration is available as an option for flammable-solvent formulations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an ODF film and a transdermal patch?
Oral dissolving films (ODF) dissolve on or under the tongue within seconds to minutes; transdermal patches stick to the skin and release the API over hours to days. Both are made by solvent-cast film coating, and the MJ Pro coating platform can be built for either — the application is set before the machine is manufactured.
What output can I expect from Huanghai ODF machines?
MJ150-RD about 1,200 films per hour for formulation screening; MJ150-Lab 8,000–10,000 films per hour for pilot-scale work; MJ150 about 30,000 films per hour (Gen I) for commercial production. For packaging, the MJ180 cuts and packs about 11,900 films per hour (Gen I); the EZ320 (about 9,000 films per hour) is for food-grade films only.
What drying technology is used?
The MJ150 production line uses a patented hot-air parallel-flow drying tunnel (Academician Hou Huimin's patent CN201668734U). The MJ150-RD uses oven drying; the MJ150-Lab uses the same hot-air drying process as the MJ150.
Can Huanghai machines coat multi-formula (striped) films?
Yes. Huanghai's patent CN117323228A covers stripe coating that applies two formulations side by side in one pass, useful for fixed-dose combination films.
