ConsiGma®
ConsiGma® Granulation and Drying (GD) Modules
Based on proven continuous twin-screw granulation technology, the ConsiGma® GD modules enable the production of higher quality granules under better control, even in a bin-2-bin set-up.
Available in 3 standard sizes, depending on the desired throughput (from 5 to 120 kg/h, to be verified by testing), the systems can be customized with a number of options to suit customer needs.
Ideal for pharmaceutical companies who wish to benefit from higher levels of process control and better-quality product but prefer to maintain their current mode of operation.
The Conductor software ensures seamless control of the entire process, full reporting and tracking of OOS. Material genealogy can be integrated into the controls. Handshaking with up- or downstream equipment can also be offered.
Standard Configuration
- 1 loss-in-weight feeder (to be loaded with pre-mix from an IBC)
- Twin screw granulator
- Segmented fluid bed dryer
- Granule conditioning unit
Available Options
- Choice of feeder (GEA or qualified third-party feeder)
- Pressure Shock Resistant (PSR) design
- Suitable for Solvents processing
- Lighthouse Probe® for LOD measurement
- Second HMI
- Material genealogy
- Material handling system including containment features
Main Benefits
- Controlled granulation
- Small amount of at-risk API
- Replace only a single step in the process with minimal impact as per SUPAC guidelines; plant scheduling and testing remain the same as with current process
- More equal granulation binder distribution
- High flexibility from very low to very high API content
- Porosity control of the granules
- Control of granule particle size distribution
- Use of solvent-free binders
- Compatible with variable throughput capacities

La biotech à l’épreuve du réel
Le nouveau Centre d’application et de technologie (ATC) GEA de Sarstedt, au sud de Hanovre, n’est ni un showroom ni un ersatz de laboratoire. C’est un lieu conçu pour les essais, la collecte de données et les décisions précoces. Un endroit où l’on détermine si un concept biologique peut devenir un procédé industriel robuste. Cette étape est plus importante qu’il n’y paraît.
L'évolution des emballages alimentaires en 4 tendances
Si le thermoformage joue depuis longtemps un rôle central dans le domaine de l'emballage alimentaire, il doit aujourd'hui affronter un tournant majeur. À une époque comme la nôtre où les réglementations se durcissent, où les matériaux évoluent et où les coûts augmentent, il ne suffit plus que les lignes de conditionnement FFS ou <i>Form-Fill-Seal</i> (Former-Remplir-Sceller) fonctionnent de manière fiable : elles sont désormais déterminantes pour garantir la fraîcheur des denrées, un prix accessible et la recyclabilité. Examinez de plus près les grandes tendances qui dans le domaine du thermoformage façonnent le secteur de l'emballage et de la distribution alimentaires.
