RSSNiro at INTERPHEX Puerto Rico 2006
January 18, 2006
At INTERPHEX Puerto Rico, the Niro booth will feature the following GEA Companies and Business Groups:
GEA Liquid Processing
GEA Liquid Processing is dedicated to supplying "Unit of Operations" and process integration services to the pharmaceutical and biotech industry. GEA Liquid Processing will promote several modular cGMP "unit ops", including GEA Diessel fermentors and bioreactors, CIP systems, and Niro Soavi homogenizer skid for cell lysing (rupture) and particle size reduction applications. All the GEA Liquid Processing homogenizer skids feature the advanced Niro Soavi Very-High-Pressure (VHP) homogenizers.
The unit op modular systems are built to the industry standards of ASME BPE, GAMP, etc.. Process integration services start at identifying the process requirements, thru P&ID development, to fabrication, automation and qualification.
Niro Pharma Systems
Niro Pharma Systems offer the single most comprehensive range of in-house designed and manufactured processing equipment to the pharmaceutical industry. This year at INTERPHEX Puerto Rico we will focus on Contained Systems Integration, from the liquid processing through mixing, drying and granulation to tabletting - as cGMP increasingly require that product is fully contained during processing - not only to protect operators and environment but also to prevent cross-contamination. Added benefits of our systems integration includes improved productivity, increased yield, and efficient CIP though automation, process integration, and product know-how. Special emphasis will also be given to our newly acquired business group GEA Lyophil and their advanced range of both pilot and production size cGMP lyophilizers (a.k.a. the LYOVAC® range of lyophilizers).
Courtoy
Courtoy will market their new Modul™ D - double-sided rotary press, which feature:
- Exchangeable Compression Module (ECM) for D, B, BB and other sizes
- Highest productivity and flexibility, combined with product containment
- Double-output or double-layer tableting
- Multi-Control 4 control system (21 CFR part 11 compliant)
- Optional Dual Control (patent pending) for independent weight and hardness control
- Constant-level feed for optimal weight stability
- Large front and rear door for easy access
- Complete process control including all peripherals for lights-out production
- All of this is designed to reduce the production cost per tablet and enhance security of the operator against increasingly potent drugs.
