GEA Pharma Systems (GPS) will be exhibiting at ACHEMA 2009, showing
its range of processing technologies for the manufacturing of oral and
parenteral dosage forms.
Consigma™ continuous high-shear granulation and drying
system
The system satisfies the pharmaceutical industry’s demand
for continuous production to provide improved quality, flexibility and
consistency for pharmaceutical processes.
One Consigma™ can run 500g in
R&D, but can also run clinical trial, launch size, and any production size
batches. There is no process scale-up as time is the only relevant factor in a
continuous process. This allows manufacturers to reduce development time
dramatically to reduce costs and bring products to market much faster. Read more about Consigma™ demonstration and technical
seminar at ACHEMA.
GEA Courtoy will be showing the latest in tableting
technology
The MODUL™ P and PERFORMA™ P small scale tablet presses
are designed for different applications but share 80% identical components and
GEA Courtoy’s most advanced compression technology.
MODUL™ P for
fast product changeover, containment and versatility
The MODUL™ P is equipped with the patented ECM offering extremely
fast product change-over, inherently better product containment and unmatched
versatility. The MODUL™ P can easily be equipped with a WOL-ECM for
high-containment applications or with a BL-ECM for bi-layer tablet production.
With the standard C-ECM the MODUL™ P is perfect for a multi-product production
environment where unmatched productivity is achieved thanks to product
changeover times down to one quarter of conventional exchangeable turret
machines.
PERFORMA™ P for top productivity in the long run
The
PERFORMA™ P is the machine of choice for mono-production and long-campaign
production runs. High productivity is achieved by a larger number of punch
positions and a novel die design: the EDD (Exchangeable Die Disc) is a
significantly more economical alternative to the conventional exchangeable
turret. The PERFORMA™ P has the highest ratio of output to footprint on the
market. At ACHEMA, PERFORMA™ P will be exhibited with the novel ABWS (Automatic
Bulk Weighing System) offering a tremendous improvement in tablet sampling and
automatic weight control. The ABWS is GEA Courtoy's latest addition to its
range of unique & advanced PAT tools for better process control. Read more about our technical Compression seminar at
ACHEMA.
The NEW FlexStream™ fluid bed will be exhibited for the 1st time at
Achema 2009.
The Aeromatic-Fielder™ FlexStream™ Fluid Bed is a new
Multi-Purpose Processor from GEA Pharma Systems that uses proven fluid bed
technology to achieve granulation, drying and pellet coating (or tablet
coating) in ONE processor.
Advantages of FlexStream™:
- Only ONE product container for all unit operations
Fluid Bed Granulator
- Fluid Bed Dryer - Fluid Bed Coater, ALL in 1 container
- Only one design/height for all unit operations
- Reduced building envelope in both height and footprint
- Built in linear scale up
- Ready for fully contained loading and unloading
- Superior product homogeneity both for LOD and PSD
Impressive test data prove that, in addition to these commercial benefits,
FlexStream™ gives superior product quality when compared with conventional
top-spray granulation or wurster coating. Read more about our exclusive FlexStream™ seminar at
ACHEMA.
PharmaConnect® - Plug and Play Multiple Processing for Formulation
Scientists
PharmaConnect® has a single control system that allows
multiple process modules to be attached. Typically this could be a range of PMA
or Gral High Shear Granulation bowls, but the system also accepts GEA
extrusion, spheronization and blending systems. The system is available in
through-the-wall or mobile formats and has the ability to process batches from
as little as 100g up to 25kg or more. Read more at PharmaConnect®
Eliminate the risk of Contamination in Freeze Drying
GEA
Lyophil will exhibit the ALUS® (Automatic Loading and Unloading System)
ALUS® is not new but is something of an unsung hero in the world of
pharmaceutical processing. Since GEA Lyophil was one of the first companies to
manufacture the system some 25 years ago, ALUS® has made a huge contribution
allowing manufacturers to keep contamination out of the product and protect the
workforce from potentially harmful substances by removing, as far as possible,
the operator from the processing area.
GEA Lyophil continues the development today and the system exhibited at
ACHEMA 2009 will demonstrate the latest in ALUS® technology. A stationary
push/pull ALUS® system, which loads and unloads pharmaceutical vials smoothly
into and out from a freeze dryer with the minimum of operator monitoring. This
frame-less transport of vials is suitable for integration into a RABS. Read more about Freeze Drying technical seminar at
ACHEMA.
Improve your containment
Buck® containment technology
will be showing its range of containment interfaces for the pharmaceutical
industry. The company, which has recently moved from its home in Müllheim,
Germany to the GEA Pharma Systems facility in Bubendorf, Switzerland, will be
exhibiting on its Buck® MC Valve and Hicoflex® systems for the safe transfer of
active ingredients and chemicals between IBCs (Intermediate Bulk
Containers).
A new MC passive valve will be launched at ACHEMA that can be
disassembled without the need of any tools making it very easy to take apart
for cleaning. Read more about how much Containment do you really need? and
participate in our seminar.
