Pharmaceutical R&D Equipment

Innovators in the highly regulated and highly dynamic pharmaceutical market place need equipment that is worry-free and flexible enough to vary products and process variables as new products are developed.  Laboratory capsule filling machine must be easy to maintain, allow for rapid tooling change-over, and provide tightly controlled process variables and automatic operation in order to ensure results that are reproducible at the production scale.


<h2>A complete encapsulation solution for the laboratory</h2>
The AFT-T Lab system from ACGE is a laboratory capsule filler from the AF series of capsule fillers that is currently running in over 1000 production facilities throughout the world.  The AF series of machines is built for regulatory compliance, revenue optimization, and flexibility giving pharmaceutical manufacturers the features they demand such as formulation and dosing control, minimal product loss, a wide range of peripheral equipment, and globally available support.

The AFT-T Lab machine has all the benefits associated with the larger equipment in the series but on a scale appropriate for laboratories.  The machine can output up to 6,000 capsules per hour for powder filling and 5,000 capsules per hour for pellet filling.  It uses a 1.1 kW primary motor.  It weighs about 1,200 Kg and occupies only 2.25 square meters of floor space making it the perfect scale for any pharmaceutical laboratory.

Particularly suitable for research centers requiring greater freeze drying capacity. Some of the most common applications are galenic formulation, freeze drying experimentation, aliquot preservation, taxidermy, experimental food and so on.


<h2>The laboratory freeze dryer that is easy-to-use</h2>
The LyoAlfa from Telstar Life-Sciences is a compact laboratory freeze dryer. It comes as a console and is mounted on casters which make it easy to install. The unit is very flexible, allowing for the simultaneous freeze drying of bottles, vials or bulk products through the connection of different manifold systems or a chamber.

It is available in two models LyoAlfa 6 -50, with a final condenser temperature of -50 ºC; and LyoAlfa 6 -80, with a final condenser temperature of -80 ºC. This enables a higher freeze drying speed and is much more suitable for working with biological samples or products with very low eutectic or collapse points.

A Laboratory air jet sieve is used for determining the particle size distribution of powdery and granular materials.


<h2>Intuitive analysis of particle size distribution</h2>
The e200 LS from Hosokawa is ideal for analyzing any kind of dry material. Samples of between 0.3 and 100 grams in weight can be analyzed easily and quickly. The batch weight is dependent on the sieve mesh width and material density. The extraordinarily good dispersion of the material being analyzed by the nozzle jet permits analyses down to 10 µm with the micro-precision sieves.

The only thing that moves the material being analyzed is the airflow. This system makes it possible to do without any and all mechanical means of influencing the sieving process of different materials, such as non-organic or organic granular materials including sands, crushed rock, clays, granite, feldspars, coal, soil, a wide range of manufactured powders.

A recent important change in the industry is the trend toward providing liquid doses contained in hard capsules.  The right equipment is need to develop processes to fill hard capsules with the wide variety of liquids used by today's pharmaceutical producers.  Laboratory equipment that is capable of handling waxes and lipids, automatically sealing the capsules, and maintaining a tightly controlled process suitable for scaling to production levels will give pharmaceutical innovators an edge of the competition.


<h2>Fill and seal hard capsules with any pharmaceutical liquid</h2>
Fluidocap 1000 is a semi-automatic machine for filling hard pharmaceutical capsules with liquid an sealing them.  It is provided by ACGE-Associated Capsules a world leader in pharmaceutical machinery manufacturing.  Traditionally liquid doses have been provided in soft gel-cap form and have presented drug makers with the common problems of high cost, wastage, cross contamination, migration of the drug into the capsule, and low bioavailability.

The Fluidocap range of machines address these issues by allowing the filling and sealing of hard capsules with liquid compounds rather that relying on soft gelcaps.  The hard capsules can be filled with a wide range of formulations including lipid-based products, high viscosity pastes, and wax type products.  They are sealed with a gelatin band.  The Fluidocap 1000 capsule filler for liquid is designed for laboratory use and can produce up to 1000 capsules per hour but can easily be scaled up to commercial level production.

High pressure electric laboratory homogenizer

Products can be extruded with a variety of shapes and characteristics by controlling the nozzle geometry and pressure and temperature characteristics of substrates as they are propelled through a screw style mixing machine. Precise control of pressure at the point of extrusion is essential to predictable, desirable results.


<h2>Small scale, precisely controlled extrusion of animal feed</h2>
Amandus Kahl’s Extruder OE 8 is a small batch or laboratory extruder that works on the same principal as the successful Annular gap expander design where a conical stop is used to restrict flow out of a tube as materials are driven through it by a rotating shaft. The stop is moved towards and away from the tube creating an adjustable sized gap through which material leaves the tube. Controlling the size of this gap relative to the material throughput determines the pressure under which the material is extruded and influences many of the product’s final characteristics.

These units can be provided with heating or cooling jackets and provisions for monitoring temperature and pressure. Precisely controlled product extrusion is thus achieved by applying Amandus Kahl’s patented gap control technology from the annular gap expanders to this simpler machine.

Research and development (R&amp;D) is vital to ensure you maintain your competitive advantage, and it’s important not only to explore new products and processes, but also to continually improve existing products. Pharmaceutical R&amp;D machines and equipment must replicate the processes involved in full-scale production to allow for accurate trial or test results, yet they must have a form-factor and footprint that is more suitable for lab work or for use in smaller development lines. R&amp;D equipment should be able to handle small batch sizes, and yet be able to scale up production results accurately, allowing full analysis and product quality metering.
