Interphex Japan 20-22 June 2007

Some images from the show.

GEA Pharma Systems group did participate at Asia’s Largest Exhibition featuring Pharmaceutical, Cosmetic and Detergent R&D and Manufacturing Technology.

INTERPHEX JAPAN is the ASIA'S LARGEST pharmaceutical industry event with 1,200 exhibitors and 60,000 visitors. At the venue, business meetings are enthusiastically held between professionals of pharmaceutical manufacturers and exhibitors from all over the world. Inside concurrently held "Technical Conference," a large number of sessions/seminars also attract a large number of attendees as the best place for enhancing knowledge on the latest trends in the pharmaceutical industry.

Experts from GEA Pharma Systems are looking forward to meeting old friends and to build new relationships for the future. Knowledgeable staff will be available during the whole event to discuss recent product developments and market trends.

At the stand you will be able to see: 

PHB300 NIR Pilot Scale Blender Buck Systems Blending Technology

The PHB300 NIR Pilot Scale Blender uses Near-Infrared to measure actual powder conditions inside the IBC as it is blended. Ingredient movement can be monitored on-line, as the blending occurs; this real-time data allows increased understanding of powder behaviour. An additional benefit of this analytical technology is that the behaviour of all the ingredients within the IBC can be accurately monitored, where as traditionally the focus has been on the Active ingredientonly. Because the powder blend is known, then the number of samples that need to be taken is dramatically reduced. The result is better understanding of formulation behaviour and enhanced process control. With opportunity to fast-track the validation of the blending process, the time to market for new products can be reduced.

Hicoflex® Disposable High Containment Interface

The Hicoflex® disposable interface performs a variety of functions simultaneously: it provides a reliable means of secure transportation, an ergonomic docking system, a contamination-free way of transferring media, and a reliable sealing system for transport containers. It’s simple, effective and inexpensive. Hicoflex® Benefits: Cost Savings: Disposable, so no cleaning or validation inexpensive full yield discharge full yield discharge Safety: no cross contamination high operator and product protection Flexibilty: multi-purpose very fast installation simple handling visual product transfer

Lighthouse Probe™ Technology PAT (Process Analytical Technology) and sensor technology

GEA Pharma Systems and J&M provide a unique probe to enable robust and reliable process analysis. This process analyzer is not affected by window fouling as it has the capability of self-cleaning and in-line calibration. The Lighthouse Probe™ enables process monitoring and quality assurance in many applications such as: drying end point granulation end point granulation homogeneity blending end point blending homogeneity coat thickness active content, ex. water, API, excipients

MODUL™ Tablet Press ECM & WOL The ECM Concept

The ECM or Exchangeable Compression Module is a closed box, which: contains all product contact parts, contains all format parts, is isolated from the remainder of the machine. The ECM is very easy and fast to remove from and re-insert into the machine. All components are exchanged together as one unit. The inside of the press remains clean and contamination free. So, there is no need to clean the inside of the machine. While the removed ECM is being cleaned off-line, production on the MODUL™ is resumed immediately with another ECM. This way, you gain several hours of production time. Moreover, thanks to the ECM concept, the MODUL™ offers a much higher operator protection level than any other tablet press with an exchangeable turret, where the contaminated turret is removed from the press without any enclosure. Even toxic products can be processed with the appropriate type of ECM, eliminating the need for expensive and impractical isolators.

 

Granulation & Drying Top-drive Granulation

The ULTIMAGRAL™ is the new high shear mixer granulator range that builds on the proven 'Gral' and its benefits. Same design of process bowl, mixer and chopper make sure that process and validation wise there is no difference to the Collette Gral. This unique design of process bowl, mixer and chopper makes the ULTIMAGRAL™ not only a perfect wet granulator but also an ideal machine for melt granulation and pelletizing. The MICROGRAL™ is a table top unit with a batch capacity between 100 and 700 g, ideal for formulation development, formulation assurance, process consistency and academic educational purposes for granulation and pelletization applications. It is equipped with an excellent process control system, including torque and temperature measurement and data logging. Two sizes of bowl (1 and 4-L) are available.
