Collette Ultima Single-Pot Processor for Pharmaceutical

Niro Pharma Systems -- As a result of its parent company GEA-AG's acquisition of the Pharmaceutical Division of GEI International plc, Niro Inc. now offers the Collette Ultima single pot processor. The Ultima is especially designed for pharmaceutical research and development.

The Ultima processing system utilizes a single container for mixing, granulating, drying, coating, and pelletizing. It provides high containment for enhanced operator safety, especially when processing highly potent or toxic formulations. Its compact size takes up minimal floor space, and the Ultima 25 is easily moveable, small enough to fit through a standard door. Its CIP capability allows decreased cleaning times for quicker changeover.

The Ultima is the first single-pot processor to combine a swinging bowl and microwave drying in an efficient and safe way. The use of microwaves during the drying process ensures fast and even drying of granules. The swinging bowl increases the available contact surface between the granulate and jacket, resulting in faster drying.

Niro Inc. is an international company specializing in the development, design, and engineering of liquid and powder processing equipment for the manufacture of products in liquid, powder, granulate, agglomerate, or tablet form. Niro products include spray dryers and coolers, fluid bed systems, evaporators, packaging equipment, homogenizers, membrane filtration systems, and pharmaceutical processing systems.
