Production Process of Pharmaceutical Glass Bottles

Pharmaceutical glass bottles are one of the important forms of drug packaging, and their production process has strict requirements and standards. This article will introduce the production process, technical requirements, and quality control of pharmaceutical glass bottles.

I. Production Process of Pharmaceutical Glass Bottles

(1) Material preparation and mixing: According to the production requirements, various raw materials are mixed in proportion and mixed with appropriate water to ensure uniformity.

(2) Melting and forming: The mixed raw materials are placed in a high-temperature melting furnace to melt, and then molded into various shapes and sizes of pharmaceutical glass bottles through molds.

(3) Annealing and quenching: Annealing and quenching processes are carried out to eliminate internal stress in the glass bottles and ensure their stability and reliability.

(4) Machining and cleaning: Machining and cleaning processes are performed on the glass bottles, including bottle neck grinding, bottle body polishing, cleaning, etc.

(5) Inspection and packaging: The cleaned glass bottles are inspected for quality, and qualified bottles are packaged while non-qualified bottles are reworked or scrapped.

II. Technical Requirements of Pharmaceutical Glass Bottles

(1) The appearance of glass bottles should be smooth, transparent, without bubbles, cracks or other defects.

(2) The chemical stability of glass bottles should be good, so that they do not react with drugs, ensuring the quality and safety of drugs.

(3) The mechanical strength of glass bottles should be high, so that they are not easily broken and can withstand certain pressure and impact forces.

(4) The sealing performance of glass bottles should be good, ensuring the sealed storage of drugs.
