GEA’s LYOVAC® industrial-scale freeze dryers are built to customer specifications and are available with production areas of 1–60 m² and condenser capacities of more than 1000 kg.
Extending its range of LYOVAC™ Freeze Dryers, GEA now offers both integrated and standalone equipment for the production of small-scale batches and formulation or process development.
ALUS® Automatic Load & Unload Systems minimize the risk of operator/product contamination while loading and unloading a freeze dryer.
Whether it’s a fad or the future, 100% vial traceability is becoming an increasingly important consideration in the pharmaceutical freeze drying industry. Keeping a close eye on developments is GEA. We’re investigating possible solutions and, what’s more, we have the experience, expertise and know-how to implement them.
كان هناك وقت حيث من النادر استخدام عبارتي "بيرة خالية من الكحول" و "طعمها جيد" معًا في الجملة نفسها، خاصة من قبل المستهلكين. ولكن قطعت البيرة منخفضة الكحول والبيرة الخالية من الكحول شوطًا طويلًا - وأصبح الكثير منها الآن مشروبات منعشة في حد ذاتها - بفضل جزء صغير من تكنولوجيا GEA.
At GEA, our commitment to engineering for a better world fuels our pursuit of innovative solutions that enhance patient care and safety. One of our most promising ventures in recent years is aseptic spray drying – a technology that promises to revolutionize pharmaceutical manufacturing.
