Mini batch blender for pharmaceutical solids
Achieve precise mixing homogeneity with the mini batch blender, perfect for low-dosage, high-potency products in demanding environments, enhancing process efficiency and consistency.
Ensures Uniform Mixing for Diverse Applications
The Mini Batch Blender GBM 10 P from Gericke is tailored for the intricate mixing demands of low-dose, high-potency products in sectors like pharmaceuticals, food, and chemicals. It features a semi-continuous blending system that combines batch and continuous mixing benefits, ensuring maximal homogeneity even at low active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) concentrations. With a processing capacity of 0 to 20 kg/h and minimal batch sizes as small as 1 kg, this blender is ideal for pilot-scale operations or low-volume production environments. Integration is seamless, with simple feeder start-up and easy incorporation of process analytical technology (PAT) tools. The high-containment design supports wash-in-place (WIP) functions for effective cleaning and maintenance. Crafted for compatibility with various materials, the GBM 10 P provides uniform blending solutions for a diverse range of products, from infant formula to detergent powders.
