GEA Pharma Systems manufacture a full range of contained material handling equipment for the pharmaceutical industry using Buck Systems technology.
Contained Materials Handling solutions for Primary and Secondary Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare. With extensive experience within the generics sector, Buck Systems™ supply a wide range of technologies and equipment that improve and enhance the efficiency and performance of Solid Dosage Production Plants.
Key technologies and services include:
As a key part of any Pharmaceutical processing plant, the dispensing area presents many challenges. In particular, it is important to establish a clear understanding of both existing processes and products, and future requirements as far as possible ...
After the dispensing of the ingredients into an Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC), the IBC can be transferred to the next process step, where the method of IBC discharge will depend on several key factors such as the product characteristics, the facility design and the processes to be undertaken ...
Increased efficiency can be achieved by combining operations, e.g. integration of milling and sieving operations, and the addition of tabletting lubricants using contained charge vessels. Buck Systems IBC Blending technology is completely contained with the possibility of a technical maintenance area minimising the GMP process area. With the Buck 'Prism' it is possible to improve mixing efficiency whilst maintaining containment, and prevent segregation during discharge using the Vibroflow™ ...
It is arguable whether containment can be reduced once the powders have been compressed into tablets, or after capsule filling or tablet coating. This applies in particular to the IBC valve technology. Consideration should however also be given to the value of the finished pharmaceutical product. Using stainless steel tablet containers significantly increases security, and reduces the risk of damage caused by spillage ...
It critical to establish a cleaning philosophy for any new facility; this will depend on the products, processes and production demands. A multi product plant may look for quick changeover, where product dedicated plants adopt a CIP approach where possible. When handling
hazardous or toxic materials CIP may be preferable, but this may also be combined with a contained quick change over solution. The cleaning philosophy is an integrated part of the design of the materials handling system and should not be look at in isolation ...
