Manufacturing OTC Painkillers, Analgesics and Fever Relief
The fast and reliable release of active ingredients is becoming increasingly important, particularly for analgesic drugs. Customer expectations of over-the-counter (OTC) painkillers are “fast and effective” results for immediate relief. At the same time, these dosage forms need to be easy to take and relatively inexpensive.
Beyond rapid action, for example, the benefits of effervescent tablets include an opportunity for formulators to improve the taste of their oral dosage form, a less aggressive delivery method and the consumer appeal associated with taking a fizzy tablet.
Plus, with various market players now developing combination (bilayer) drugs, the need for commercial-scale double-sided rotary tablet presses has never been greater. Designed for the reliable and cost-effective large-scale production of oral solid dosage forms, GEA’s portfolio includes models that combine the benefits of flexibility and robust performance for a wide range of formulations.
Experts in every aspect of high-volume batch processing, GEA offers a complete range of technologies for the production of solid dosage forms: from powder handling to granulating, drying, tablet compression and coating. And, from R&D through scale-up to commercial production, we can identify the most appropriate solution for your specific application and meet your technical requirements.
GEA’s entire range of process equipment is designed with system integration in mind. A modular approach allows customers to select standard process modules to suit their needs. Furthermore, our rotary tablet presses provide a number of options for the high-volume production of large tablets, including continuous manufacturing in low humidity environments.

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.
