Monoclonal antibodies are known as targeted therapies because they work by targeting specific proteins on the surface of cells. Successfully used to treat cancers, tumors and other serious diseases, mAbs are — compared with other biopharmaceutical products — large proteins that require relatively high administration doses and traditionally necessitate high-volume manufacturing equipment/systems and facilities. GEA offers production systems for monoclonal antibodies that are produced in state-of-the-art stainless steel bioreactors by specific cell cultures.
From Culture to Harvest
The cell culture process is done in several steps, starting with 10 L precultures and successively cultivating intermediate batches up to a final production volume of up to 20,000 L. These systems comprise the vessel, with the stirrer as the core element, and peripherals such as temperature control systems, clean-in-place (CIP) components, aeration and deaeration systems, input systems and automated sensors, actuators and the operator interface.
Support processes, such as media preparation and harvest systems are also available from GEA. The process integration of separators and filters for the harvest step is also within GEA’s scope of service. Because of the high sensitivity of the cells and the need for operator and product safety, all GEA system components are designed according to the latest standards and have the highest grade of finish quality.

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.
Más allá de la máquina: cómo potenciar el rendimiento de la planta
El hecho de que una máquina sea eficiente no significa que la fábrica lo sea. La mejora real suele comenzar por ir más allá de los equipos individuales y comprender cómo los procesos, los sistemas energéticos y las decisiones operativas se influyen mutuamente. Se trata de un enfoque holístico diseñado para descubrir oportunidades que, de otro modo, podrían pasarse por alto.
Cómo una válvula transforma la manera de elaborar alimentos y bebidas
En las plantas de alimentación y bebidas, las válvulas suelen accionarse mediante aire comprimido. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology mueve las válvulas mediante agua, en un circuito cerrado controlado digitalmente. El resultado es una válvula que puede mantenerse en su sitio con exactitud y regularse con precisión. Esto se traduce en un menor consumo energético y un mayor control.
