How a drug owner or developer can successfully of map out an effective, coherent, long-term manufacturing strategy.
Mixer testing simulation trials are needed to confirm the suitability of a specific mixing strategy. This white paper explores five ways to increase energy efficiency in new and existing mixing processes.
Uniformly dispersing powders into a liquid batch in a practical amount of time is a common problem for F&B manufacturers. This white paper explores five tips for dispersing powders more efficiently.
Development of a drug formulation and lyophilization (freeze drying) process begins with laboratory experiments followed by scale up to larger lyophilizers.
The pharmaceutical industry has undergone a sea of change in recent years as manufacturers have adapted to the end of the era of large-volume production of mass-market blockbuster drugs. With firms now focusing in on subpopulations of patients, there is a need for lean, adaptable facilities that can switch quickly between multiple products in multiple formats. Modular facilities can meet this need. While not a panacea, for the right project characteristics, ‘Modularity in Design’ can deliver significant and quantifiable long-term value.
A common problem statement in the pharmaceutical industry is low oral bioavailability of drug candidates with poor aqueous solubility.
With the aim of reducing costs, Normon planned to significantly increase its batch sizes for certain products. The manufacturer needed to pay close attention to the high quality and safety standards and economic aspects, as well as flexible production sizes and times.
Coperion K-Tron can provide single source solutions for all feeding and conveying needs in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. The complete Coperion K-Tron line of pharmaceutical equipment is engineered to meet the rigid requirements of the industry.
The ZSK 18 MEGAlab laboratory extruder is the smallest member of the ZSK family. This targeted and further development of proven ZSK technology extends the performance range of the series for R&D and production.
Coperion K-Tron vacuum sequencing receivers are designed to high quality standards for pneumatically conveying powders, pellets and granular materials for the bulk material handling industries.
Coperion K-Tron provides a variety of control options to meet a client's process needs. From standard equipment controls to interface options for both the pneumatic conveying systems as well as feeder controls, Coperion K-Tron is dedicated to ensure the client's specific process control requirements are met.
With over 100 years of experience in feeding technology, Coperion K-Tron development and engineering teams have created smart feeding solutions. Without consistent, dependable feeder accuracy and repeatability for your process, the integrity of any recipe—and hence the final product—will be compromised.
Coperion K-Tron's machine controllers and operator interfaces deliver full functional flexibility and the connectivity you need. Coperion K-Tron’s SmartConnex control environment provides comprehensive control capability with maximum flexibility and connectivity for systems up to 24 weigh belt feeders, loss-in-weight feeders, volumetric feeders, batchers, flow meters, Bulk Solids Pump (BSP) feeders or PID controlled devices as well as pneumatic refill systems.
Coperion K-Tron’s liquid loss-in-weight feeders provide accurate continuous volumetric or gravimetric flow control of liquids. The highly accurate gravimetric units combine the pump and tank with a suspension scale or platform scale; the feed pump for metering the material is located outside the scale area.
When handling powder and pellets, a plant constructor can only design a reliably functioning and economical bulk material handing system with in-depth knowledge and comprehensive understanding of the complex behavior of bulk materials.
