Aeromatic-Fielder™ and GEA Pharma Systems provides a seamless integration of pellet production plant, using technology and experience developed over many previous installations. Our history of integrated systems and CIP solutions is second to none - the first CIP system for integrated systems was supplied by Aeromatic-Fielder™ - and we continue to provide the highest quality and support for each of our core technologies with the advantages of a single source of supply.

Examples of Aeromatic-Fielder™ Integrated Systems include:

  • NICA System / Batch or Continuous Fluid Bed Dryer

Why Integrate?

  • Reduce manual operations
  • Improved Containment
    - operator exposure
    - dust emissions
    - raw material loading
    - active addition
    - dried product discharge
  • Minimise Product Losses
  • Automated Process
  • Advantages of Integrated Supply

Consistent Design Concept

  • Single Point of Contact / Total Solution
  • Simplification of:
    - Documentation and Invoicing
    - General Project Management
  • Standardisation of:
    - Drawing and documentation formats
  • Improved Installation Co-ordination
  • Total after sales service by local agents
  • Simple structure for supply of parts
  • Full containment of traditional processing method (high shear granulation and fluid bed drying)
  • Enhanced safety for operator and product
  • Full CIP capability of the whole integrated system
  • User-friendly and easy controls
  • High volume production possibility (mono-product lines)
  • Integrated Design Approach

Single Process Train - not collection of equipment

  • View from Users Perspective - Process Walk Throughs
  • Inherent Safety Approach - Simple / Safe
  • Design for Cleaning and Inspection - Simple / Safe
  • Design Equipment for Integration
