AirConnect Fluid Bed Processor & Coater
Building on the success of the well-established PharmaConnect® system, GEA now offers a new range of modular fluidized bed technologies: AirConnect.
Based on the outstanding success of PharmaConnect®, the AirConnect has been developed by GEA to meet the pharmaceutical industry's requirements for unit operation flexibility and is based on the proven principle that a single core component can be used for numerous processes by interchanging a range of application-specific modules.
Designed to utilize the company’s market-leading fluidized bed technology, and capable of running batches from as little as 200 g to more than 10 kg, the AirConnect not only performs fluid bed drying, but, when combined with the class-leading Flexstream device, can also be used for side-spray granulation and coating. More conventional top spray granulation processes are also possible and, in addition, the AirConnect can be integrated with GEA’s Precision-Coater for bottom spray micro-pellet coating.
Furthermore, AirConnect is also designed to work with GEA’s ConsiGma® continuous coater and FlexCoater technologies, offering rapid, high quality tablet coating functionality.
The AirConnect from GEA is the ultimate fluid bed processor for small-scale research and production applications. Suitable for granulating, drying and coating, the AirConnect accelerates and optimises product development by minimizing the amount of scale-up required to move from R&D-level batch processing to full-scale continuous production systems.

Una visión realista del sector biotecnológico
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.
Cambios en el envasado de alimentos: 4 tendencias
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.
