Manufacturing Process

Our manufacturing facility is mainly designed to provide optimal output, maintain superior quality standards, and foster innovation. In specific we operate the whole process according to meticulous Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in strict compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) in our new manufacturing facilities. Besides, we try our best to reach the best result through:

Product Development

Before product commercialization Hercules Laboratory Group delivers comprehensive services from conception, through development and scale-up manufacturing. We are dedicated to accelerate our time to market in order to fulfill market demand we just discover. Since 1978, our extensive team of experienced experts have been leaders in developing pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter products and dietary supplements for our clients and consumers around the world.

One of the core tasks before product commercialization is formulation development. We have adopted efficient formulation development processes to accelerate the time to market in an effective way including:

In order to coordinate with those requirements of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Hercules Laboratory Group has been executing internal compliant processes including:

Product Manufacturing

Pharmacy / Weighting
Pharmacy / Weighting
After releasing by our Quality Control Team, raw materials are weighted in amounts prescribed by a Manufacturing Master Record (MMR) by our trained technicians, ensuring the accuracy of each batch.
Granulation
Granulation
Certain ingredients require specialized processing in order to improve their density, compressible and optimal flow. We use advanced technology, such as fluid-bed processors and high -shear granulation, to reduce separation of components and to achieve desired material properties.
Blending
Blending
Weighed ingredients are loaded into our blenders to create a uniform blending of dry powders (one of the critical properties for a superior tablet or capsule). For each batch we follow meticulous blending Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that dictates specific blending times and machine use. Hercules Laboratory Group has many blenders to accommodate varying batch sizes and diverse formulas.
Compression and Encapsulation
Compression and Encapsulation
We use gravity feeding technology to efficiently load homogeneous blends into tablet press hoppers and encapsulation machines. We use industry-leading, fully automated tablet presses and encapsulation machines, capable of accommodating different tablet tooling shapes, capsule sizes, and varying batch sizes. Each machine is housed in its own production room that creates a self-contained environment and supports aggressive time lines & volume requirements.
Coating
Coating
Our experienced technicians use fully automated pans to coat tablets and capsules with color, glaze, and modify release patterns.
Packaging
Packaging
High speed lines are used to fill tablets, capsules, and powders into bottles and containers. As a turnkey shop, we provide a full spectrum of options, including unit-doses and blister packs.
