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 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.
健康快乐的奶牛是成功和可持续牛奶生产的关键。因此,保持奶牛健康是每个奶农努力的核心。奶牛的健康受到许多因素影响,例如根据奶牛个体需求进行适当喂养、良好的饲养条件以及新鲜的空气、水和光照。而且,挤奶方式对奶牛的健康状况也有很大的影响。GEA 因其“优质挤奶理念”而闻名,不断致力于进一步发展,并在动物健康和牛奶质量方面取得更好的成果。
各行各业都在努力实现净零排放目标,同时遵守严格的脱碳法规和立法。与此同时,公司必须平衡日益增长的质量、产品开发和工艺优化需求,此外,还必须努力提高盈利能力。应对这一挑战需要采取 GEA 提供的协作和整体方法。
咖啡、可可、牛奶、肉类、鱼类和蛋类 - 这些日常主食在很大程度上依赖集约农业。随着新食品技术的兴起,我们有了更多可持续的替代品。我们采访了 GEA 液体、发酵和灌装部门的高级副总裁 Reimar Gutte 博士,探讨其中的可能性和政策。
