Freeman Technology and GEA Pharma Systems are collaborating to advance the application of continuous wet granulation and drying technology in the pharmaceutical industry.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers frequently utilize wet granulation as a precursor to tableting, with the current trend moving from traditional batch manufacturing toward integrated continuous processing. The ConsiGma 1 is a laboratory-scale version of GEA Pharma Systems’ ConsiGma concept, which incorporates a continuous high-shear granulator and small batch dryer. It has been developed specifically to meet this continuous wet-granulation need.
The FT4 Powder Rheometer enables the measurement of bulk, shear and dynamic powder properties that can be correlated directly with process performance and product quality. It can be used as tool for scoping the design space for powder processes, as advocated by QbD.
