ConsiGma® 1 - R&D Granulation and Drying
Based on proven continuous twin-screw granulation technology, the ConsiGma® 1 has been designed for the small-scale development of continuous granulation processes.
The system comprises the same twin-screw granulator as the smallest unit of the ConsiGma® CTL lines and a small dryer that’s similar to one of the drying segments. This allows you to develop your products on the same scale with product quantities starting from just a few 100 grams up to a few kilograms. The results are directly transferrable to the standard size ConsiGma® CTL.
The ConsiGma® 1 is ideal for pharmaceutical companies who wish to develop a continuous granulation process before the fully integrated production line is installed.
Standard Configuration
- One powder feeder
- One liquid addition system
- Twin-screw granulator
- One dryer segment
Available Options
- Brabender or Ktron Feeder
- Standalone ConsiGma® 1 w/out dryer segment

GEA Insights
Reality check for biotech
The new GEA Application and Technology Center (ATC) in Sarstedt, south of Hannover, is neither a showroom nor a substitute for a lab. It is a place for testing, data collection and early decisions. This is where it becomes clear whether a biological concept can become a robust industrial process. That step is bigger than it may seem.
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.
