GEA's wide range of container blenders offers the most flexible and highest quality blending solutions available today.
Container blending is recognised as being the most cost-effective and productive method of blending granules and powders in the pharmaceutical manufacturing process. Reduced loading and unloading times, reduced cleaning times — both machinery and room — improved containment and batch integrity have established container (IBC) blending as the pharmaceutical industry’s technology of choice.
R&D, small-scale and full-scale pharmaceutical production blenders provide simple transfer of process technology during scale-up, thus minimizing process validation activity.
This is fully supported by GEA's detailed research programme and testing facilities. Hoist- and pedestal-mounted versions are available as well as through-the-wall designs, which offer significant room layout benefits.

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.

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.
