Depending on its configuration and the formulation, the system can achieve throughputs of 1 to 400 kg/h.
The Conductor software ensures seamless control of the entire process and full reporting. Tracking of OOS and material genealogy can be integrated into the controls. Handshaking with up- or downstream equipment can also be offered.
ConsiGma® DB modules can be implemented in a wide variety of situations, including the following:
- Dosing and blending of external phase additions (lubricant) together with a pre-blend
- Dosing and blending of multiple (up to four components) of flowable powder materials
- Asan R&D module to investigate the dosing and blending process for NCE, orphan drugs or low-dose APIs
- As a dosing and blending unit combined with other continuous up- or downstream processes for both low dose and high throughput products, depending on the configuration
The modules are suitable for ethical, CDMO, generic, nutraceutical or CMO operations.
Standard Configuration
- 2 to 7 loss-in-weight feeders
- Linear or ribbon blender
Available Options
- Choice of feeder (GEA or qualified third-party supplier)
- Continuous flow or mini-batch blending capability
- Blend uniformity measurement with Lighthouse Probe®
- Customer selected tablet press (GEA or other – control interface to be clarified)
- OOS rejection
- Material genealogy
Main Benefits
- Use with existing equipment (roller compaction, compression, etc.)
- Continuous or mini-batch flow capability
- Replace only a single step in the process with minimal impact as per SUPAC guidelines; plant scheduling and testing remain the same as current process.
- Higher blend homogeneity – all powder particles go through the same mixing event
- Higher material yield
- High flexibility from very low to very high API content
- In-process blend uniformity control – second-by-second
- Compatible with variable throughput capacities

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.
