Pharmaceutical homogenization skid system
Achieve precise particle size reduction and efficient cell rupture with an autonomous, high-pressure skid system to optimize production of nanoemulsions and liquid formulations.
Processes High-Pressure Homogenization and Nanoemulsion Production
The Plug&Play Pharma Skid is a versatile solution designed by GEA for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. This skid-mounted high-pressure homogenizer serves as an autonomous system, capable of processing tasks such as particle size reduction, cell rupture, and the production of nanoemulsions and nanodispersions under aseptic conditions. It achieves a maximum pressure of 1500 bar, making it suitable for producing vaccines, therapeutic proteins, and other specialized liquid therapeutics.
The Pharma Skid integrates seamlessly into continuous or collective processing lines, with a feed pump featuring a by-pass system, an electrical power board, and multiple customization options including heat exchangers and various measurement instruments to suit unique production needs. In terms of energy efficiency, this equipment allows for significant savings compared to conventional cell disruption systems, thanks to its advanced motor control.
Constructed with a robust material selection to withstand corrosion, the Pharma Skid complies with cGMP and Gamp5 validation standards, ensuring regulatory compliance for the production of pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. Additionally, maintenance is streamlined with its clean-in-place (CIP) system, allowing for efficient and contamination-free cleaning. The Plug&Play Pharma Skid is adaptable to various Ariete Series homogenizer sizes, providing flexibility and engineering support for tailored configurations.
