Materials handling has become increasingly important in modern productions
of solid dosage forms:
- Safety of operators and the environment
- Containment of materials
- Automated handling
At the GPS Technology Centre we can handle product volumes: 50 g to 100
kg
System Integration
At the GPS Technology
Centre we can demonstrate the integration of Buck® containment technology
providing solutions for pharmaceutical solid dosage forms facilities. With an
emphasis on quality and GMPstandards, we are committed to working together with
our customers to deliver first class tailored solutions for projects of all
sizes and complexity.
Containment and powder
technology
Through the use of Buck® Valve technologies, we can
show a dust-free highly contained powder transfer. Our systematic approach to
design eliminates contamination and leakage of material throughout the process
line whilst still maintaining flexibility for either CIP or COP and meets the
strictest GMP requirements in the industry. We provide a complete range of
quality Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), used for processing, storage,
blending and transportation of pharmaceutical products, including excipients,
active powders, granules, capsules and tablets, from dispensing through to
feeding packaging systems.
Dispensing
Our systems optimise this operation, which
is vital to a solid dosage pharmaceutical process. We have engineered a control
system, which guarantees complete recipe management, total process and weight
control, material traceability, equipment operability and process
repeatability.
Accurate dosing of all required raw materials is a very
important first step:
- To avoid cross-contamination
- Handling of hazardous substances
Discharging and Filling
For difficult flowing
materials, products subject to segregation and damage, and the need to transfer
potent products in a contained manner, we demonstrate unique technologies for
accurate filling and discharging. These ensure high levels of containment,
rapid product change over, Cleaning In Place (CIP) and complete discharge with
no segregation.
Blending
Our extensive process
knowledge and continuous research delivers the most efficient blending process.
We can show a wide range of technical solutions and process options to ensure
efficient mixing and blending of powders and granules.
