Pharmaceutical R&D Technology
Building on the success of the well-established PharmaConnect® system, GEA now offers a new range of modular fluidized bed technologies: AirConnect.
Based on the outstanding success of PharmaConnect®, the AirConnect has been developed by GEA to meet the pharmaceutical industry's requirements for unit operation flexibility and is based on the proven principle that a single core component can be used for numerous processes by interchanging a range of application-specific modules.
Designed to utilize the company’s market-leading fluidized bed technology, and capable of running batches from as little as 200 g to more than 10 kg, the AirConnect not only performs fluid bed drying, but, when combined with the class-leading Flexstream device, can also be used for side-spray granulation and coating. More conventional top spray granulation processes are also possible and, in addition, the AirConnect can be integrated with GEA’s Precision-Coater for bottom spray micro-pellet coating.
Furthermore, AirConnect is also designed to work with GEA’s ConsiGma® continuous coater and FlexCoater technologies, offering rapid, high quality tablet coating functionality.
The AirConnect from GEA is the ultimate fluid bed processor for small-scale research and production applications. Suitable for granulating, drying and coating, the AirConnect accelerates and optimises product development by minimizing the amount of scale-up required to move from R&D-level batch processing to full-scale continuous production systems.
PharmaConnect® allows a number of diverse process modules to be docked to one control unit, including high shear granulation, pelletization and blending, coating.
FlexStream is a new multi-purpose processor that addresses the current shortfalls of traditional fluid bed processing, including linear scale-up, fully contained loading and unloading for Pharmaceutical applications.
GEA supplies fluid bed processors (known as fluid bed Multi-Processor in the USA) for blending, granulating, drying, pelletizing and coating for the pharmaceutical industry.
GEA has expanded its popular PharmaConnect® system with the introduction of PharmaConnect®-PLUS, extending the unit’s high shear granulation capacity to encompass batch sizes of up to 60 kg.
优质冷链管理的重要性不可低估。确保易腐食品在食用时安全且高质量是冷链设施运营商的巨大责任。GEA 处于为冷库和配送中心提供安全、可持续制冷技术的前沿,帮助客户减少其设施的能源消耗和碳排放。
自动挤奶的最新发展引入了批量挤奶 – 一种在固定挤奶时间将奶牛分组挤奶的奶牛养殖实践,通常每天两次到三次。自动化技术正在帮助奶农克服近期的挑战,平衡奶牛场的奶牛福利、灵活性和可持续性,同时不断优化其成本结构并实现越来越高效的优势。
在许多国家/地区,获得安全用水和卫生设施体系仍然是一个挑战。由于饮用水不干净以及每天长途跋涉取水而生病,意味着许多儿童无法上学。GEA 通过与汉堡非营利组织 Viva con Agua 合作,使用一些非常神奇的技术帮助为坦桑尼亚的几所学校提供干净的水。
