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 multi-purpose processor that addresses the shortfalls of traditional fluid bed processing, including linear scale-up, fully contained loading and unloading for Pharmaceutical applications.
GEA supplies fluid bed processors (known as fluid bed Multi-Processor in the USA) for blending, granulating, drying, pelletizing and coating for the pharmaceutical industry.
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.
Изменение климата и растущее население планеты оказывают повышенное давление на энергоемкую пищевую промышленность, чтобы накормить больше людей и при этом не нанести вред планете. Джордж Шеперд, менеджер по глобальной технической устойчивости компании GEA, объясняет, как компания GEA использует свои инженерные ноу-хау, чтобы помочь переработчикам производить продукцию более устойчиво и при этом повысить производительность.
The world's population is growing and with it demand for milk. Dairy is an essential component of many global diets. However, its production can be resource-intensive and impact the environment. GEA’s Christian Müller, Senior Director Sustainability Farm Technologies, sheds light on how technological innovations powered by GEA make milk production more efficient and profitable.
Каждый безопасный для употребления напиток и пищевой продукт — это победа над невидимыми микробными угрозами — борьба, которая ведется в течение уже ста лет разработки и проектирования технологических процессов, отвечающих требованиям гигиенических норм. Обладая более чем 100-летним опытом и уникальными знаниями в области проектирования и гигиенического проектирования, компания GEA устанавливает отраслевые стандарты для технологического оборудования, задачей которого является защита продуктов питания и спасение жизней людей.
