ConsiGma®
ConsiGma® Direct Compression with Ribbon Blending (DC-RB) Lines
A cost-effective solution for continuous dry blending and tablet compression using ribbon blending, ConsiGma® DC-RB lines make the advantages of continuous manufacturing (supply chain agility, small footprint and improved quality) available for all.
Available in 3 standard sizes, depending on the desired throughput (from 10 to 200 kg/h or 20,000 to 400,000 tablets/h, to be verified by testing), the systems can be customized with a number of options to suit customer needs.
The Conductor 4.0 software ensures seamless control of the entire process and full reporting. Tracking of OOS and material genealogy can be integrated into the controls.
Mainly targeted towards generics, nutraceuticals, OTC production and CMOs, the systems are designed to handle easy-to-blend and high-throughput DC formulations.
Standard Configuration
- 2 to 4 loss-in-weight feeders
- 1 ribbon blender
- GEA compression system
Available Options
- Choice of feeder (GEA or qualified third-party supplier)
