The Baddi–Barotiwala–Nalagarh (BBN) belt in Himachal Pradesh is one of India's largest pharmaceutical formulation clusters, with hundreds of tablet, capsule, syrup and ointment plants. Sterial Machinery supplies pharmaceutical vibro sifters in Baddi from Ahmedabad by road.
The BBN Pharma Cluster
- Baddi – the largest concentration of formulation plants.
- Barotiwala – pharma and FMCG units.
- Nalagarh – pharma and allied industries.
- Parwanoo and Kala Amb (nearby) – pharma and process industries.
What Formulation Plants Need
Most BBN plants manufacture oral solids for domestic and contract markets, often with frequent product changeovers. That makes cleanability and quick screen changes important. Our pharmaceutical vibro sifter has SS 316 contact parts, lead-free silicone-sealed screens and quick-release clamps, and is mounted on castors so it can be moved for washing.
| Plant size | Typical sifter |
|---|---|
| Small / loan-licence unit | 20″–30″ single deck |
| Medium formulation plant | 30″–36″, double deck for granule grading |
| Large plant / multiple lines | 36″–48″, vacuum transfer option |
Contract Manufacturing and Changeovers
Contract manufacturers running many products should keep dedicated screen sets per product family and follow a documented cleaning routine. See cleaning and maintenance.
