2.2.7 Suppositories

Dispersion of suppository blends after heating.
®
We recommend using the UNGUATOR Disp. Blade for up to 200 ml.
The heating of fat suppository foundations may be carried out using an infrared lamp
® ®
over the open UNGUATOR Jar. An UNGUATOR Applicator aids the precise filling of
the suppository forms. It may be reheated using a hair drier or an infrared lamp should
the mass have re-solidified. Preparation with approx. +5 ... 10 % recommended.

2.2.8 Powder

Mixing powder to fill capsules.
Using the standard Normal program will achieve good mixing results for microfine
powder with a high proportion of lubricious Aerosil (silicic acid). We recommend the
® ® ®
use of UNGUATOR Disp. Blade for UNGUATOR Jars up to 200 ml. The UNGUATOR
®
SMB will provide excellent results for the UNGUATOR Jar sizes 300, 500 and 1000 ml.
®
To minimize the grinding noise along the sealing lip in the UNGUATOR Jar Lid when
mixing powder, the lip may be widened a bit using the shaft of the UNGUATOR ® MB or
vaseline or paraffinum liquidum may be applied to the shaft of the UNGUATOR ® MB.
The powder can be evenly distributed from the dispensing opening using the capsule
filling device.

2.2.9 General Notes

Powder and active crystalline ingredients
Frequently the active substances needed should, in contrast to commercially available
concentrates, be prepared in a UNGUATOR ® Jar for storage or reuse as regular
comminution at appropriate concentration and weighed in directly from the jar whenever
required.
Powder
Powders should be used as microfine substances, if possible. Powders should be
weighed in after the liquid constituents to ensure better wetting. For substances with a
low proportion of powder, we recommend pregrinding by pasting the powder in a bit of
®
foundation in the UNGUATOR Jar, as already described above.
