Pharmaceutical R&D Technology
Building on the success of the well-established PharmaConnect® system, GEA now offers a new range of modular fluidized bed technologies: AirConnect.
Based on the outstanding success of PharmaConnect®, the AirConnect has been developed by GEA to meet the pharmaceutical industry's requirements for unit operation flexibility and is based on the proven principle that a single core component can be used for numerous processes by interchanging a range of application-specific modules.
Designed to utilize the company’s market-leading fluidized bed technology, and capable of running batches from as little as 200 g to more than 10 kg, the AirConnect not only performs fluid bed drying, but, when combined with the class-leading Flexstream device, can also be used for side-spray granulation and coating. More conventional top spray granulation processes are also possible and, in addition, the AirConnect can be integrated with GEA’s Precision-Coater for bottom spray micro-pellet coating.
Furthermore, AirConnect is also designed to work with GEA’s ConsiGma® continuous coater and FlexCoater technologies, offering rapid, high quality tablet coating functionality.
The AirConnect from GEA is the ultimate fluid bed processor for small-scale research and production applications. Suitable for granulating, drying and coating, the AirConnect accelerates and optimises product development by minimizing the amount of scale-up required to move from R&D-level batch processing to full-scale continuous production systems.
PharmaConnect® allows a number of diverse process modules to be docked to one control unit, including high shear granulation, pelletization and blending, coating.
FlexStream is a new multi-purpose processor that addresses the current shortfalls of traditional fluid bed processing, including linear scale-up, fully contained loading and unloading for Pharmaceutical applications.
GEA は、流動床処理装置 (米国での呼称は流動床 Multi-Processor™) を製薬業界のブレンド、造粒、乾燥、ペレット化、コーティング向けに提供しています。
GEA has expanded its popular PharmaConnect® system with the introduction of PharmaConnect®-PLUS, extending the unit’s high shear granulation capacity to encompass batch sizes of up to 60 kg.
健康で幸せな乳牛は、持続可能な生乳生産を成功させる鍵です。したがって、乳牛を健康に保つことは、すべての酪農家の取り組みの中心にあります。個々の乳牛のニーズに合わせた適切な給餌、良好な飼育環境、新鮮な空気、水、光など、多くの要因が乳牛の健康に影響を与えます。しかし同時に、搾乳方法は乳牛の健康状態に大きな影響を与えます。GEAは「Good Cow Milking」の理念でよく知られており、家畜の健康と乳質においてより良い結果を出すために、常にさら...
どの業界も、厳しい脱炭素規制や法規制を乗り越えながら、ネットゼロの目標達成に向けて懸命に取り組んでいます。同時に、企業は、品質、製品開発、プロセスの最適化に対する高まる要求のバランスを取りながら、収益性の向上に努めなければなりません。この課題には、GEAが提供するような協調的かつ包括的なアプローチが必要です。
コーヒー、カカオ、牛乳、肉、魚、卵。こういった毎日の定番ともいえる食材は、集約農業に大きく依存しています。ニューフード技術の台頭に伴い、これまで以上に持続可能な代替食品を使用できるようになりました。そこで今回は、GEA で液体・発酵・充填担当上級副社長を務めるライマー・グッテ博士と対談し、その可能性と政策について探ってみました。
