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 4.0 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

Approfondimenti GEA
Nutrire il futuro: il potenziale innovativo della liofilizzazione
La riduzione degli sprechi è importante per GEA e, sfruttando le potenzialità della tecnologia di liofilizzazione, possiamo trasformare le eccedenze alimentari in prodotti di valore e di lunga durata, contribuendo a ridurre gli sprechi, a prolungare la durata di conservazione e a creare maggiore resilienza nel sistema di approvvigionamento alimentare per le generazioni a venire.
GEA e Pulmuone rendono onore alla tradizionale produzione artigianale dei noodle freddi
Quando il produttore alimentare sudcoreano Pulmuone, attento alle tematiche ambientali, ha proposto a GEA di sviluppare una versione moderna dei tradizionali noodle freddi (naengmyeon), gli esperti di R&S di GEA si sono dimostrati pronti a cogliere la sfida. Hanno contribuito a sviluppare quello che oggi è un successo commerciale, prodotto con meno acqua ed elettricità rispetto ai metodi precedenti. Il risultato è anche fedele alle origini tradizionali del piatto e ai principi salutistici, di benessere e di sostenibilità di Pulmuone.
