Intermediate bulk container (ibc) blending for pharmaceutical manufacturing
Pharmaceutical manufacturing requires efficient and homogenous blending of granules and powders to ensure product quality and integrity. Traditional blending methods face challenges such as lengthy cleaning times and poor containment, which can compromise batch consistency and safety.
Ensures homogenous blending and efficient operations
The Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) Blending system by GEA offers an advanced solution for pharmaceutical blending needs. The system utilizes an expertly designed blending cage and container geometry to ensure homogenous blending. The unique Prism technology improves blending times, making it especially effective for dry powder blending and direct compression formulations. Security and safety are prioritized with robust construction, air-driven screw jacks, and positive IBC detection. The user-friendly control system allows ease of operation and compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 for electronic records. Available in various sizes, the Pedestal Blender can accommodate IBC volumes up to 3000 L, making it a versatile choice for different batch sizes. Additionally, the through-the-wall design separates technical and process areas, reducing running costs and facilitating maintenance without compromising GMP production areas.
