Tabletop granulation system for small batches
Enhance R&D capabilities with this innovative solution designed for granulation, drying, and coating. Ideal for testing small batches, it optimizes resource usage and enables precise control over complex processes, crucial for developing advanced multi-component formulations in pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals.
Processes and Coats Pharmaceuticals and Nutraceuticals
The MINIQUEST F from ACG is designed for small-scale pharmaceutical and nutraceutical production, providing unparalleled flexibility in R&D environments. This compact fluid bed processor excels in granulation, drying, and Wurster coating processes, featuring an innovative venturi-based fluidisation system that eliminates the need for electrically powered blowers, simplifying installation and reducing operational costs. With a working volume accommodating batches from 225 ml to 750 ml, it’s perfect for handling diverse product types such as powders and granules. The integrated peristaltic pump minimizes system footprint, while the 5μ sock filter ensures dust-free operations, suitable for academic settings and early production stages. Its compliance with GMP standards facilitates seamless integration into existing processing lines.
