The Aeromatic-Fielder™ High Shear PMA™ and PMA-Advanced™ Mixer and
Granulator is a multi-purpose processor equally suitable for high speed
dispersion of dry powders, aqueous or solvent granulations, effervescent
production and melt pelletization.
PMA™ Advanced High Shear Granulator
For more than thirty years, Aeromatic-Fielder™ has supplied advanced
solids processing plants for blending, granulating, drying, pelletizing and
coating to the pharmaceutical industry. This includes small capacity systems
designed for R & D as well as industrial size plants for batch production
of pharmaceutical compounds under cGMP conditions.
Using proven standard components, Aeromatic-Fielder can supply both
simplicity and flexibility in plant design. User selected process options,
cleaning equipment, control systems and PAT technologies combine in a system to
meet process requirements exactly. This approach ensures that qualification and
validation procedures are kept to a minimum.
Plant design:
- Frame mounted - Through-the-wall configuration
- A range of impeller and chopper options
- Through-the-wall hinge-mounted sizing mill, directly connected to the
discharge port
- Concealed hinge mechanism allows cover to be lifted with the minimum
effort, but keeping the counterweight in the technical area
Process Control &
Monitoring:
- A range of control systems for maximum level of flexibility and
functionality for process visualisation, automation and data recording
- PAT Integration – Combining process monitoring using online analysers,
together with solid process engineering principles and advanced process
modelling techniques will
enable processes to be actively controlled in
order to compensate for minor input variations (eg. raw materials) so that the
specifications for the final product will be closer to the ideal target.
Cleanability &
Maintenance:
- Concealed services
- CIP and WIP
Containment:
- Complete contained processing
- For loading and unloading Buck® high containment split-valve technology
- For toxic compounds, isolator boxes can be integrated
- Product sampling
Continuous Improvement
for Safety:
- EC type approved for pressure shock resistant integrated systems and 16-bar
pressure shock resistant high shear granulators
Proven Process - New PMA-Advanced™
Critically the
process geometry of the PMA-Advanced™ is identical to the previous PMA-Standard
model. Modifications to the design have been made solely to benefit the user
and
owner in terms of ease-of-use, cleanability, process analysis and
installation. By uniting these new benefits with the proven PMA process
technology, Aeromatic-Fielder is providing the
logical solution for your
Granulation needs.
Standard options configured into tailor-made plants
The
philosophy behind the design is that a combination of standardised options are
built together in order to meet the requirement for a specific duty. Therefore,
granulators of equal
capacity may be completely different with respect to
design, configuration and physical size.
Aeromatic-Fielder™ PMA™ product range:
- Development: PMA™ 1 & PMA-Compact™ 30, batches 1-26kg
- Pilot Scale: PMA™ 60/150, batches 20-60kg
- Production Scale: PMA™ & PMA-Advanced™ 150 to 1800, batches 60-700kg
Integration for optimum process efficiency
Our complete
range of process equipment is designed with system integration in mind. A
modular approach allows customers to select standard process modules to suit
project needs. Fluid bed dryers and coaters can be combined with top drive and
bottom-drive high shear mixer-granulators, wet and dry milling facilities,
product handling systems, binder and
coating preparation units, filtration
units, all designed for fully integrated systems. Safety, containment, product
flow and building requirements are in-built for full integration for optimum
process efficiency.
