Integrated granulation train for pharmaceutical processes
Achieve precise granulation, uniform mixing, and efficient drying with an integrated solution, ensuring seamless operations and maintaining product integrity throughout the pharmaceutical production line.
Processes and Mixes Powders into Granules
The GT Series from ACG is an integrated granulation train combining high-shear mixing and fluid bed technology, engineered specifically for the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. This system excels in processing pharmaceutical powders into granules and is capable of handling a variety of end-products, including effervescent tablets and multivitamin capsules. Utilizing a closed-loop system, it ensures precise granulation, drying, and material transfer, significantly reducing dust and product loss. With a compact footprint and through-the-wall construction, the GT Series facilitates easy maintenance and clean operations in compliance with GMP standards. The equipment supports both batch and continuous operations, offering flexible configurations to match diverse formulation needs. Enhanced by energy-efficient components, the GT Series not only minimizes operational costs but also complies with rigorous pharmaceutical and nutraceutical production protocols.
