PharmaConnect® ‘plug and play’ approach enables a number of diverse process
modules from GEA Pharma Systems brands to be docked to ONE control module.
The primary processes are based around Aeromatic-Fielder™ PMA™
Granulator technology, providing the user with the ability to process
batches from 100g up to 25kg and over.
A range of standard bowl sizes are available to handle batch quantities of:
- 1 and 3 litres for development scale, the optimal
choice for the first
steps in recipe and process
development using very small quantities of
active
material
- 5, 10, and 15 litres, an intermediate scale for
continuation of product
development
- 30 and 60 litre for pilot scale production
However, the modular format of PharmaConnect® allows special modules to be
used for customer’s specific needs. For example non-standard capacities,
different shapes, or even different materials such as glass.
In addition to the typical high shear granulation process,
Aeromatic-Fielder™ is also offering PharmaConnect® modules for
its NICA™ Extrusion and Spheronization pelletizing system and
for its TRV high speed blender. Further modules for other GEA
Pharma Systems products will be available in the future.
