Auger dosing unit for powder dosing in pharmaceuticals
In pharmaceutical production and laboratory testing, precise and controlled powder dosing is essential. Accurately filling vials, cartridges, and other containers with minimal waste while verifying the dosage can pose significant challenges, especially when dealing with small sample quantities.
Ensures precise and variable powder dosing
The SDM auger dosing unit by Harro Höfliger is a dedicated system for powder dosing applications in the pharmaceutical industry. This versatile unit can fill vials, reservoirs, and cartridges with high precision. It utilizes advanced servo technology to allow variable adjustments of the dosing range, accommodating volumes from approximately 20 mm³ to 1000 mm³ and weights from 10 mg to 5000 mg. The SDM can operate as a standalone unit or be integrated into existing lab setups. Additionally, it offers a ‘fill-to-weight’ option with a gravimetric scale for precise and accurate dosing. The system features separate drives for the stirrer, cross feeding, and dosing auger, ensuring modular and reliable operation. Optional features like sterilizable parts, a sealing system to prevent spills, and an integrated ionization for dust extraction further enhance its utility in stringent pharmaceutical environments.
