5. UNGUATOR® Technology
The UNGUATOR® Technology reduces the mechanical preparaon of formulaon ointments
to the least common denominator. The core of UNGUATOR® Technology consists of
the patented arrangement of the UNGUATOR® Mixing Blade adapted to the
requirements of prescripon ointments and the UNGUATOR® Jar that serves as both
a hygienic mixing jar and a hygienic dispensing jar.
The principle of the preparaon method using UNGUATOR® Technology in the closed
UNGUATOR® Mixing System is quick and easy to learn, true to the moo.
learning by doing
A lile experience will make it easy to prepare ointments though they may seem
rather complicated at rst. Using the UNGUATOR® Technology enables the pharmacy
to beer prepare prescripon ointments in a shorter period of me compared
to convenonal methods that were used prior to the invenon (1994). For the
rst me, it is possible to not only standardize ointments, but also validate them.

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
rst 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 preparaons.
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 dened service partners.
Product quality, product uniformity and reproducibility of ointments prepared individually
and in batches were improved with the increasing automaon of the UNGUATOR® units
starng with the individual model B/R- through e/s-, Q- and 2100 model.
