ConsiGma®
ConsiGma® Granulation and Compression (GC) Lines
Highly integrated solutions for continuous wet granulation, drying and tablet compression, the ConsiGma® GC lines offer all the advantages of continuous manufacturing: supply chain agility, small footprint, controlled granulation and improved quality.
Available in 3 standard sizes, depending on the desired throughput (from 5 to 120 kg/h or 20,000 to 180,000 tablets/h to be verified by testing), the systems can be customized with a number of options to suit customer needs.
The Conductor software ensures seamless control of the entire process and provides full reporting and track & trace.
Mainly targeted towards high value products (low dose API), orphan drugs and new chemical entities, the systems can be equipped with cleaning and containment features to handle highly potent formulations.
Standard Configuration
- 1 loss-in-weight feeder for formulation pre-mix
- Twin-screw granulator

Main Benefits
- Controlled granulation
- Better distribution of granulation binder
- Porosity control of the granules
- Control of granule particle size distribution
- Small amount of product in process (minimal amount of API at risk of OOS)
- Elimination of work-in-progress
- Increased flexibility from very low to very high API content
- Use of solvent-free binders
- Compatible with variable throughput capacities
- Flexible batch size
- Smaller footprint

Around the world in seven questions: New foods we’ll love
Last year was not a year of hyped-up headlines for alternative proteins. Perhaps that is precisely why it was an important year for food biotech, the biotechnology behind everyday foods and ingredients. While the sector worked through a difficult funding environment, approvals were still granted, pilot lines set up and new platforms tested in the background. In short: headlines are turning into infrastructure. Frederieke Reiners heads GEA’s New Food business. She and her team work at the intersection of biotechnology and industrial food production. In this interview, she takes us on a world tour of food biotech in seven questions.
