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.
Our solution for continuous drying and particle processing plants is ConsiGma®, a 6 sigma-inspired manufacturing platform, incorporating different technologies to produce oral solid dosage forms in a continuous, cost-efficient way:
- by collecting more information during R&D phase, in a short time with less product
- by excluding risky, time- and product consuming scale-up exercises
- by introducing online measurement and closed loop control targeting real-time release (6 sigma production)
- by incorporating flexible batch size (JIT production), reducing inventory
- by reducing the energy cost per tablet, reducing environmental impact.

La ecuación del agua
En toda Europa, la sequía es una realidad recurrente que ya no se limita al sur. Si bien el agua influye cada vez más en dónde eligen ubicarse las industrias, su valor viene determinado por el contexto local. Existen numerosas vías tecnológicas para lograr la eficiencia hídrica en los procesos industriales, pero la ubicación, las necesidades energéticas y otros factores también son fundamentales.
