ConsiGma®
ConsiGma® Dosing and Blending (DB) Modules
Designed to achieve optimal blending results, the ConsiGma® DB modules facilitate the testing of dosing and blending operations and can be integrated with any continuous up- or downstream process.
Depending on its configuration and the formulation, the system can achieve throughputs of 1 to 400 kg/h.
The Conductor software ensures seamless control of the entire process and full reporting. Tracking of OOS and material genealogy can be integrated into the controls. Handshaking with up- or downstream equipment can also be offered.
ConsiGma® DB modules can be implemented in a wide variety of situations, including the following:
- Dosing and blending of external phase additions (lubricant) together with a pre-blend
- Dosing and blending of multiple (up to four components) of flowable powder materials
- Asan R&D module to investigate the dosing and blending process for NCE, orphan drugs or low-dose APIs
- As a dosing and blending unit combined with other continuous up- or downstream processes for both low dose and high throughput products, depending on the configuration
The modules are suitable for ethical, CDMO, generic, nutraceutical or CMO operations.
Standard Configuration
- 2 to 7 loss-in-weight feeders
- Linear or ribbon blender
Available Options
- Choice of feeder (GEA or qualified third-party supplier)
- Continuous flow or mini-batch blending capability
- Blend uniformity measurement with Lighthouse Probe®
- Customer selected tablet press (GEA or other – control interface to be clarified)
- OOS rejection
- Material genealogy
Main Benefits
- Use with existing equipment (roller compaction, compression, etc.)
- Continuous or mini-batch flow capability
- Replace only a single step in the process with minimal impact as per SUPAC guidelines; plant scheduling and testing remain the same as current process.
- Higher blend homogeneity – all powder particles go through the same mixing event
- Higher material yield
- High flexibility from very low to very high API content
- In-process blend uniformity control – second-by-second
- Compatible with variable throughput capacities
