How It Works: Unlock Your Production Potential

Six-step project process for ODF and patch production lines, from production goals to ongoing supportStep 01: understanding your production goals and formulation requirements for a new line

We kindly invite you to share your production goals so that we can better understand your specific pharmaceutical formulas and production requirements. To assist us in tailoring the best solution for you, please provide:

  • Factory Layout: A floor plan to help us optimize equipment placement and streamline workflow.
  • Product Specifications: Drawings or dimensions of your product or packaging to ensure precise equipment design.
  • Production Goals: Your desired capacity and technical requirements to guide our recommendations.

Step 02: formulation review and optimization for compatibility with film coating equipment

Formula Testing

  • We utilize industry-standard instruments and a variety of excipients to simulate real production conditions.
  • Your formulations are tested on our pharmaceutical machinery to evaluate performance, efficiency, and compatibility with our equipment.
  • All testing data is securely recorded for future analysis, ensuring traceability and continuous improvement.

Formula Optimization

  • Enhance the stability and consistency of your formulations.
  • Improve the quality and yield of your final product.
  • Customize the process to meet regulatory standards and specific production goals.

Step 03: developing the manufacturing process and selecting coating, cutting and packaging equipment

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 and clinical batches; 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 hot-air parallel-flow drying tunnel based on Academician Hou Huimin's patent CN201668734U. The MJ150-RD and MJ150-Lab use oven drying.

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.
