1. Introduction to the Supply Chain Department at Sahi Rasa Company
The Supply Chain Department at Sahi Rasa Company has developed a deep specialization in the export of pharmaceutical packaging components, and hard gelatin capsules size 3 represent a critical product for very low-dose applications. The department's expertise in this area is built on a thorough understanding of the pharmaceutical industry's quality requirements. Empty capsules are precision-engineered drug delivery systems that must meet stringent standards for dimensions, locking force, moisture content, and microbial purity. A size 3 capsule that fails to lock properly can cause product loss and line downtime. A capsule with inconsistent dimensions can cause filling weight variation and dosage uniformity issues. A capsule with excessive moisture content can interact with hygroscopic fill materials and compromise drug stability. The department's technical team is acutely aware of these risks and has established rigorous sourcing, testing, and quality assurance protocols to mitigate them.
The department sources hard gelatin capsules size 3 from qualified Iranian manufacturers who operate under GMP conditions and hold relevant certifications. These manufacturers use pharmaceutical-grade gelatin derived from certified sources, and their production processes are validated to ensure consistent quality. The capsules are tested for critical quality attributes, including dimensions, locking force, moisture content, microbial contamination, and heavy metal content. Certificates of Analysis are provided with every shipment, and retained samples are kept for traceability.
For clients in Afghanistan, the Kurdistan Region, Iraq, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Georgia, Turkey, and Syria, the Supply Chain Department at Sahi Rasa Company offers a reliable and flexible supply of hard gelatin capsules size 3.
