Continuous granulation and drying system for r&d

Processes Continuous Granulation and Drying

The ConsiGma® GD 25/80 from GEA is a continuous twin-screw granulator and dryer, designed for pharmaceutical R&D. It allows precise control over granule quality across small-scale production, seamlessly integrating into your workflow to develop continuous granulation processes. Using a single-stage continuous operation, it facilitates granulation and drying, streamlining the production of pharmaceutical granules, coated, controlled-release, hygroscopic, and friable tablets. With a starting capacity from just a few hundred grams, it ensures efficient use of active pharmaceutical ingredients, reducing material waste. The system’s twin-screw granulator is complemented by a compact dryer, enabling full integration into small-scale R&D operations without additional space requirements. The equipment is designed for flexibility, offering options like Brabender or Ktron feeders and solvent compatibility, ensuring adaptability to various formulations and process conditions. Its compact footprint and fast R&D capabilities reduce time to market and ensure rapid process development, with no need for scale-up between the GD 25/80 to GD or GC lines. Designed to comply with industry standards, it provides a valuable solution for pharmaceutical manufacturers seeking to optimize early-stage drug development.
