Lyophilization Technology
Extending its range of LYOVAC® freeze dryers, GEA now offers both integrated and standalone equipment for the production of small-scale batches and formulation or process development
The highly flexible standalone FCM 10-P freeze dryer from GEA has been designed for the production of small-scale batches and formulation/process development. Also available as a wall-mounted option, this two-chamber unit is configured to industry standards.
With a capacity of 10 kg and shelf space of 0.63 m², the FCM 10-P also benefits from easy-access doors and spare flanges for validation and/or additional equipment.
Using the same FALCO control system as the production unit, allowing direct recipe transfer during scale-up, the FCM 10-P is GLP/GMP-compliant.
Available options:

| FCM10-P | |
| Capacity | 0,63m² shelf area |
| 4 shelves | |
| 10 kg in in 24 h | |
| Possible Load | 2608 of 2R vials |
| 1352 of 6R vials | |
| 708 of 20R vials |
A combination of isolator and machine modules, VarioSys® provides a quick and flexible way to process liquid, powder or lyophilized product in vials, ampules, syringes or cartridges. Operating in a Grade C environment, filling and capping systems can be quickly and easily interchanged, reducing in both footprint and equipment costs.

GEA’s LYOVAC® industrial-scale freeze dryers are built to customer specifications and are available with production areas of 1–60 m² and condenser capacities of more than 1000 kg.

SMART LYO™ Freeze Dryers help reduce the cost of freeze drying while maintaining quality and performance, making validation and documentation easier and reducing delivery times.

LYOPLUS™ mass spectrometer is a multi-purpose measurement device for pharmaceutical freeze dryers.

ALUS® Automatic Load & Unload Systems minimize the risk of operator/product contamination while loading and unloading a freeze dryer.

El nuevo Centro de Aplicaciones y Tecnología (ATC) de GEA en Sarstedt, al sur de Hannover, no es una sala de exhibición ni sustituye a un laboratorio. Es un lugar destinado a realización de pruebas, recopilación de datos y toma de decisiones en una fase temprana. Es en este punto donde queda claro si un concepto biológico puede convertirse en un proceso industrial robusto. Ese paso es más importante de lo que podría parecer.

El termoformado lleva mucho tiempo desempeñando un papel fundamental en el envasado de alimentos. Ahora se enfrenta a un cambio importante. A medida que se endurecen las normativas, evolucionan los materiales y aumentan los costes, las líneas de envasado formado, llenado y sellado deben hacer algo más que funcionar de forma fiable: ahora determinan cómo los alimentos se mantienen frescos, asequibles y reciclables. Eche un vistazo a las principales tendencias en termoformado que están marcando el panorama del envasado y entrega de alimentos.
