Today, manufacturers in the pharmaceutical market need safe and clean solutions to be able to operate in aseptic conditions in compliance with international regulations and requirements.
GEA provides know-how, expertise and a full range of solutions and equipment for high-pressure homogenization to help companies develop specific high-quality products for the Pharma and Biotech sectors.
A world of applications
GEA advanced homogenization technology stabilizes active ingredients and dispersion in liquid pharmaceutical products for enhanced clinical effectiveness, improved drug tolerance and reduced dosage. It is also used for cell disruption on yeast and bacteria to extract intra-cellular substances.
Scaling up, from lab to industrial production
From table-top units to industrial machines, GEA homogenizers include all the components to micronize the particles of a fluid and obtain a homogeneous and stable emulsion. Each device is equipped with a compression block and homogenizing valve to process a wide range of applications, enhancing the organoleptic characteristics and stability of the product.
Here is our range of custom, high-efficiency solutions that offer the opportunity to scale up the homogenization process from laboratory testing to industrial manufacturing, while maintaining the same high-quality results.
TABLE-TOP AND PILOT PLANT HOMOGENIZERS
Total scalability of result
GEA table-top homogenizers are ideal for laboratory testing and small-scale production.
Table-top homogenizers are small and compact machines that offer the opportunity to perform tests using small sample quantities – the results achieved are of equal quality to those achieved with industrial homogenizers. Panda® PLUS, Panda® SMART, Panda® X, TwinPanda, TriplexPanda and XStream are designed to ensure maximum stress resistance to optimize performance and reliability at high operating pressure.
Main benefits
- Small and easy to handle
- Guaranteed scalability of results
- Great reliability and resistance
- Limited maintenance
- Suitable for abrasive products
