Pharmaceutical design feeders for precise ingredient handling
In pharmaceutical manufacturing, precise ingredient handling is crucial to ensure product quality and efficacy. Challenges include maintaining high accuracy in feeding systems and meeting rigorous cleaning requirements to prevent contamination.
Ensure precise and hygienic ingredient handling
The Coperion K-Tron pharmaceutical design feeders are engineered specifically for use in pharmaceutical applications. These feeders can handle a variety of materials, including active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), excipients, and lubricants. The modular design offers flexibility, allowing for quick changes in feeder types and sizes, which aids in process adaptation and simplifies cleaning. All product contact surfaces are made from FDA-approved materials and adhere to cGMP guidelines, ensuring compliance with industry standards. With options for volumetric and gravimetric configurations and capabilities for minimal feed rates as low as 32 g/h, these feeders offer high accuracy and flexibility. They provide complete product containment, suitable for use in hazardous environments (ATEX, NEC) and integration into continuous processes such as blending, granulating, and extrusion. Validation documentation and state-of-the-art controls are available to meet CFR 21 Part 11 compliance.
