Download Operating Instructions and Production Recommendations

As an example, incorporation of corticoids, antibiotics, fungicides or hormones in an
ointment base. In order to ensure a homogeneous processing, we recommend using the
UNGUATOR® standard mixing blade.
First, load approximately 30% of the defined ointment base in the UNGUATOR® jar embedding
the micronized agents afterwards. The agent has to be integrated in the ointment base in
order to avoid powder residue sticking on the blade.
The movable bottom shall remain at the lowest position during the pregrinding process in
order to utilize the complete inner wall of the UNGUATOR® jar as grinding surface.
Please inspect the preparation for agglomerates or qualitative abnormalities after the
grinding process is completed. If required, the pregrinding process may be repeated.
After the pregrinding process has been completet, additional components of the formulation
can be added and the ointment base may fill up the jar to the desired volume.
Any additional processing of the prescription should be prepared according to the galenic
nature of the composition.
Emulsion
The “Emulsion” program offers the opportunity to incorporate liquids at room temperature
in water-absorbing bases, e.g. preparation of hydrous hydrophilic- or hydrous wool wax
alcohol ointment.
To ensure a homogeneous processing we recommend applying disposable mixing blades for
jar sizes up to 200ml and standard mixing blades for larger batches.
In preparation, the entire ointment base should be weigh out inside the jar covering the
bottom. Then add the required amount of liquid or solution in room temperature.
In some cases, you may experience difficulties emulsifying refrigerated bases. In that case
the process of emulsification can be accelerated by adding heated liquid.
Emulsion +
The “Emulsion+” program allows you to accomplish prescription bases and creams from
molten individual components with a cold mixing program being integrated , e.g. preparation
of DAC base cream or cold cream DAB.
