Glass-lined mixing systems for pharmaceutical industry

Achieve consistent mixing and thorough agitation for complex formulations, enhancing yields and process efficiency in dynamic and high-speed industrial operations.

Facilitates Mixing and Agitation for Various Industries

The Glass-Lined Mixing and Agitation Systems from GMM Pfaudler are designed for the rigorous demands of chemical, pharmaceutical, and food manufacturing. These systems excel due to their glass-lining technology, providing corrosion resistance and durability in handling aggressive and volatile materials. Operating on a top entry configuration, these systems efficiently facilitate mixing and agitation with reduced vibrations and enhanced operational stability. They are well-suited for producing active pharmaceutical ingredients, specialty chemicals, and biofuels, accommodating both batch and continuous processes. With key features such as a balanced shaft design, motor-driven gear boxes, and absence of bottom bearings, these systems integrate seamlessly into existing production lines. They offer energy-efficient operation with minimal maintenance requirements, and are adaptable to various media and process needs. Additionally, compliance with European Directive 2014/34/EU ensures safe operation in hazardous environments, while the compact design prioritizes ease of maintenance and accessibility for field service teams.
