Niro Pharma Test Station – PSD-1 spray dryer
The Niro Pharma Test Station is the world’s most advanced GMP test station
for spray drying, and can be used to produce material for safety, stability and
toxicology studies and clinical trials. The Test Station includes two GMP spray
drying units, PSD-1 and PSD-4.
The PSD-1 spray dryer uses nitrogen as
the drying medium in a closed loop, which allows for drying of feed compounds
containing organic solvents. While the powder is collected under the cyclone, a
bag filter is used for collecting fines. Alternatively, all powder can be
collected under the bag filter. There are two atomization methods: a pressure
nozzle and a two-fluid nozzle, both operating in a co-current mode.
Niro Pharma Test Station – PSD-4 spray dryer
The size of the PSD-4 spray dryer matches the size of an actual production
unit for many projects. This means that 1:1 trials can be performed, enabling
direct technology transfer from testing to commercial production.
The
PSD-4 spray dryer uses nitrogen as the drying medium in a closed loop, which
allows for drying of feed compounds containing organic solvents. While the
powder is collected under the cyclone, a bag filter is used for collecting
fines. Alternatively, all powder can be collected under the bag filter. There
are two atomization methods: a pressure nozzle and a two-fluid nozzle, both
