Manufacturing Cardiovascular Medication
There are many types and combinations of medicines available to treat coronary heart disease (CHD), high blood pressure or heart failure, including anticoagulants, antiplatelet medications, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, digoxin and diuretics.
Whatever the active ingredient, GEA provides proven solutions for even the most challenging dosage forms, such as MUPS tablets, effervescents and multi-layer dosage forms, as well as granules, pellets, modified/extended release formulations, powders designed for direct tableting or capsule filling and high-volume applications.
Still an important unit operation, coating is used to either add color, protect, mask the taste or create a modified release form in pharmaceutical production. GEA offers a range of standard, innovative, batch and continuous coater systems
Plus, as containment experts, the company offers the largest selection of solutions for contained processing based on a thorough containment risk analysis.
Providing increased yields, lower utility consumption and reduced waste, continuous manufacturing presents a new approach to high-volume oral dosage form production and meets the industry’s demands for faster product development, reduced costs, improved production economics and increased manufacturing flexibility.

The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.
Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance
An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.
How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made
In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
