a solid foundation in terms of operation and maintaining optimum manufacturing conditions.
Additionally, we provide a unique range of services that are designed to enhance production and expedite time-to-market, such as testing new concepts (equipment/advanced controls), developing and refining new procedures to increase both our understanding and the capabilities of our equipment.
We can help with process development of
- tablets
- pellets
- effervescents
- MUPS
- inhalable fine powders
- granules, dragées and crystals.
Batch Processing Capabilities
From powder to coated tablet and from R&D to full-scale manufacturing, no other supplier offers such a wide range of batch technologies for oral solid dosage from production.
Continuous Processing Capabilities
At GEA, we believe that continuous processing improves the quality of pharmaceutical end products by focusing on quality during the whole product lifecycle - not just "tested in" quality - and by understanding the capability of your processes, managing sources of variability and decreasing any associated risks.
Tablet Compression
The innovation that GEA has developed include a unique technology that independently and simultaneously measures and controls both tablet weight and hardness, and a weight control system that provides increased sensitivity at lower forces.
Other Test Locations
Apart from our main test facilities in Wommelgem, Halle and Columbia, MD, GEA has collaborations with a number of universities and private research institutes to offer trial opportunities in other regions worldwide.
Training & Process Support
GEA recognizes the important role that training plays in the proper use of its equipment. Whether the need is theory, general operational instruction or specific process-related guidance, GEA is focused on helping you learn to use our technology to the fullest.
