Tablet compression module for high containment applications
In pharmaceutical manufacturing, especially when dealing with highly potent active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), maintaining a contamination-free environment is crucial. The need for an efficient, dust-tight module that enables rapid product changeover without compromising operator safety or product integrity is paramount.
Ensures safe and contamination-free tablet production
The ECM (Exchangeable Compression Module) by GEA is a patented solution designed for high containment in tablet compression. It offers a dust-tight sealed unit that contains all product contact parts, ensuring no powder residue is left in the press. This module can be removed and replaced in just 30 minutes, significantly reducing downtime and cross-contamination risks. The WOL-ECM variant is specifically designed for highly potent APIs, maintaining environmental contamination levels below 1 µg/m³. The system allows easy cleaning in a sealed environment, minimizing water and detergent use. Made from corrosion-resistant materials, it ensures durability and safety. The ECM is available for multiple models including MODUL P and MODUL S, making it versatile for various scales of production.
