5.1 UNGUATOR® mixing machines
The current UNGUATOR® mixing machines - UNGUATOR® B/R, UNGUATOR® e/s,
UNGUATOR® 2100 and UNGUATOR Q - are useful and advanced improvements on the
first UNGUATOR® launched in 1994. They are designed for a working capacity of approx.
500 work hours which corresponds to approximately 15,000 to 20,000 preparations.
The UNGUATOR® mixing machines feature a high safety standard and were tested by
TÜV-Rheinland, Germany for safety. The devices are manufactured under license and
maintained by defined service partners.
Product quality, product uniformity and reproducibility of ointments prepared individually
and in batches were improved with the increasing automation of the UNGUATOR® units
starting with the individual model B/R- through e/s-, Q- and 2100 model.
