Materials handling has become increasingly important in modern productions of solid dosage forms:
- Safety of operators and the environment
- Containment of materials
- Automated handling
At the GPS Technology Centre we can handle product volumes: 50 g to 100 kg
System Integration
At the GPS Technology Centre we can demonstrate the integration of Buck® containment technology providing solutions for pharmaceutical solid dosage forms facilities. With an emphasis on quality and GMPstandards, we are committed to working together with our customers to deliver first class tailored solutions for projects of all sizes and complexity.
Containment and powder technology
Through the use of Buck® Valve technologies, we can show a dust-free highly contained powder transfer. Our systematic approach to design eliminates contamination and leakage of material throughout the process line whilst still maintaining flexibility for either CIP or COP and meets the strictest GMP requirements in the industry. We provide a complete range of quality Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), used for processing, storage, blending and transportation of pharmaceutical products, including excipients, active powders, granules, capsules and tablets, from dispensing through to feeding packaging systems.
Dispensing
Our systems optimise this operation, which is vital to a solid dosage pharmaceutical process. We have engineered a control system, which guarantees complete recipe management, total process and weight control, material traceability, equipment operability and process repeatability.
Accurate dosing of all required raw materials is a very important first step:
- To avoid cross-contamination
- Handling of hazardous substances
Discharging and Filling
For difficult flowing materials, products subject to segregation and damage, and the need to transfer potent products in a contained manner, we demonstrate unique technologies for accurate filling and discharging. These ensure high levels of containment, rapid product change over, Cleaning In Place (CIP) and complete discharge with no segregation.
Blending
Our extensive process knowledge and continuous research delivers the most efficient blending process. We can show a wide range of technical solutions and process options to ensure efficient mixing and blending of powders and granules.
