Manufacturing Solid Dosage Forms for Gastrointestinal Applications
Comprising a varied landscape of antacids, antiulcerants, vitamins and minerals, antiemetics, antinauseants, antidiarrheals and anti-obesity products, the gastrointestinal drugs market is segmented into a variety of oral solid dosage forms that require a wide range of different production techniques.
For example, for products that have to act in the stomach, effervescent dosages are often preferred. By contrast, for products that have to act in the intestines, MUPS or coated tablets are more prevalent.
Many of these products have to be produced in high volumes as they represent a large portion of the over-the-counter (OTC) market.
Whatever your application, GEA can supply the right equipment and technology for your production requirements: from integrated granulation lines for high-volume production and single-pot processors adapted to effervescent processing to tablet presses that can handle MUPS or effervescent formulations.
For coating applications, available technologies include fluid bed coating for smaller particles, such as powders, granules, seeds, crystals, pellets and small tablets, a multipurpose processor that uses proven fluid bed technology to achieve granulation, drying and pellet coating (or tablet coating) in a single processor and a continuous tablet coater that accurately deposits controlled amounts of coating materials on tablets, even if they are hygroscopic or friable.

La svolta che ha rivoluzionato lo spray drying
Nel 1976, gli ingegneri di NIRO risposero a una sfida della concorrenza ripensando radicalmente le potenzialità dello spray drying. Da questa intuizione nacque l'essiccatore multistadio MSD. Cinquant'anni dopo, lo stesso principio fondamentale contribuisce a trasformare i liquidi nelle polveri utilizzate in prodotti nutrizionali essenziali e in importanti farmaci in tutto il mondo. Perfezionato grazie a decenni di competenza ingegneristica, attenzione alle esigenze dei clienti e sviluppo continuo, l'MSD rappresenta una storia di innovazione dall'impatto duraturo.
Oltre le macchine: come migliorare le prestazioni dell’impianto
Una macchina efficiente non garantisce automaticamente l'efficienza di uno stabilimento. Il vero miglioramento spesso inizia guardando oltre le singole attrezzature e comprendendo come i processi, i sistemi energetici e le decisioni operative si influenzino a vicenda. Si tratta di un approccio olistico pensato per individuare opportunità che altrimenti potrebbero sfuggire.
Come una valvola rivoluziona la produzione di alimenti e bevande
Negli impianti di produzione di alimenti e bevande, le valvole vengono solitamente azionate tramite aria compressa. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology utilizza l'acqua all'interno di un circuito chiuso e controllato digitalmente. Il risultato è una valvola che può essere mantenuta esattamente in posizione e regolata con per piccoli incrementi con grande precisione. Ciò si traduce in un minor consumo energetico e in un maggiore controllo.
