Fluid bed processing of pharmaceuticals
In pharmaceutical manufacturing, ensuring consistent particle size, moisture control, and homogeneity is crucial when transitioning from laboratory-scale to industrial-scale production. Traditional methods often struggle to provide the flexibility and precision required, leading to inefficiencies and quality control issues.
Granulate, dry, and coat in one system
The GEA Fluid Bed Processor is designed for fluid bed processing, offering granulation, drying, coating, and pelleting in pharmaceutical applications. Utilizing standardized modules, it can be tailored to meet specific processing needs, from R&D to full-scale production. With options for small capacity systems and extensive industrial plants, users benefit from adaptable configurations, high yields, and energy efficiency. The FlexStream technology in this processor enables multiple processes in a single unit without mechanical adjustments, enhancing product quality through precision granulation and drying. The system’s in-line particle growth measurement ensures PAT (process analytical technology) compliance, vital for maintaining consistent product quality.
