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.
Em
The “E” 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.
To ensure a homogeneous processing, we recommend applying disposable mixing blades
for jar sizes up to 200ml and standard mixing blades for larger batches.
Since the UNGUATOR® jars can be heated up to max. 85°C/185°F in either water or microwave
oven, you may melt defined components of your formulation directly in the jar. Do do so, all
components of the formulation, including aqueous phase in the UNGUATOR® jar and heat
the complete formulation up in a microwave oven at low wattage and open cap. Inspection
should be done at regular and short-time intervals using a thermometer in order to avoid
