Fluid bed and coating system for small batch processing

Streamline your R&D process with a modular system that ensures precise scaling from laboratory to production, optimizing granulation and coating of tablets, capsules, and powders.

Processes Granulation, Coating, and Drying Operations

The MYLAB unit from IMA Group provides a compact and modular solution for granulation and coating processes, designed specifically for pharmaceutical and biotech applications. It integrates a Main Technical Unit with air handling, spray systems, and control panels, ensuring precise operation for R&D and pilot scales. With its fluid bed modules and high shear granulators, MYLAB efficiently processes tablets, capsules, and powders, making it ideal for pain relief tablets, vitamin capsules, and extended-release pellets production. The equipment supports both top and bottom spray operations, and its coating pans are equipped with interchangeable drums for flexible batch sizes, from 0.5 to 10 liters. MYLAB’s automation is enhanced by a new HMI interface that improves operator efficiency. Compliant with stringent GMP standards, it offers quick product changeovers and easy cleaning, ensuring seamless integration into your production line.
