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.

ConsiGma dosing blending modules
ConsiGma® DB modules offer standalone continuous dosing and blending operations, either using a ribbon blender or a linear blender.

Depending on its configuration and the formulation, the system can achieve throughputs of 1 to 400 kg/h. 

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. 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  
  • As an 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 4 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
