Nicomac’s – Euronovis‘ 800 square meter (8,000 sq ft) facility certified by Italian authorities ATS Milano, N°18 dd 20.04.2016 “production of food supplements, in particular A.D.A.P. (Foods for particular nutritional uses) and A.F.M.S. (foods for special medical purposes)” within 2019 GMP certified for food supplements.
All our operators have been instructed to work according to quality procedures which include: preparation, production, washing, cleaning, sanitizing.
All products are checked, before and after processing, as follows: visual inspections, tests of hardness, friability, weight, moisture of tablets or pellets. A disintegration test will be performed in the case of enteric coated tablets.
Regarding coating process, the following Euronovis equipment (fully automatic and with PC+PLC control) are available:
- FBD FLUID BED DRYER 8: 16 litres useful capacity – 8 litres min. capacity
- LAB 50 COATER: 50 litres useful capacity – 10 litres min. capacity
- N°4 NCS 350 COATER: 350 litres useful capacity – 70 litres min. capacity
Production capacity
The Euronovis capacity is approximately 260 million tablets a year with one shift. We coated more than 300 different types of tablets.
Inside our laboratory, we follow procedures for machine and environment cleaning. These procedures state cleaning materials and its frequency. Moreover, we record and store the relative documentation. Periodically, we carry out swabs on enviorments and machines and then we send these swabs to an authorized laboratory which checks bacterial load and the presence of allergens. Moreover, procedure to keep the enviorments free from weeds, rodents, birds and insects are in force.
