Where Food Meets Pharma: Dietary Supplements, Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals
Positioned between food and pharmaceuticals, the nutraceutical industry comprises functional foods, vitamins, supplements and over-the-counter (OTC) products that are formulated with molecules or elements found in nature for the purpose of maintaining or improving health and treating or preventing diseases/conditions.
The range of health products is wide, including ginseng, valerian, spices and liquorice, among others, and a huge variety of herbal ingredients.
With its culture of innovation and the rapid application of new developments in cutting-edge equipment and technology, GEA supplies both large and small customers with an optimized mix of high output and cost-effective solutions, as well as productivity and flexibility.
From a manufacturing perspective, GEA supplies a complete range of granulation and pelletizing equipment, as well as a comprehensive selection of powder handling, mixing and blending technologies, and machinery for powders designed for capsule filling. We offer engineering services, entire process plant and standalone machines for oral solid dosage form processing for customers in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries.
From weighing, dosing and discharging equipment to extruders and spheronizers, and from fluid bed processors and high shear granulators to rotary tablet presses and coaters, GEA has the technology, experience and expertise to provide a complete range of granulation and drying solutions, including batch, continuous and single-pot systems. Our experience with special dosage forms such as effervescents is a key advantage for many nutraceutical products. And, if required, we can help with process and product development.

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.
Au-delà des machines : exploiter les gisements de performance des installations
Ce n'est pas parce que vous avez des machines efficaces que votre usine l'est. Une trajectoire d'amélioration efficace commence souvent par une analyse qui ne se limite pas aux équipements pris individuellement, et cherche à comprendre comment les processus, les systèmes énergétiques et les décisions opérationnelles s'influencent mutuellement. C'est une démarche holistique, conçue pour repérer des opportunités qui, sans cela, risqueraient de passer inaperçues.
Comment une vanne révolutionne la production des aliments et des boissons
Dans les installations agroalimentaires, les vannes sont généralement actionnées en utilisant de l'air comprimé. La technologie d'actionnement GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology, quant à elle, actionne les vannes en utilisant de l'eau, au sein d'un circuit fermé à commande numérique. Résultat, une vanne peut être maintenue en place de manière exacte et réglée par petits paliers. Cela se traduit par une consommation d'énergie en baisse et un meilleur contrôle.
