Homogenizing Peripheral Devices
The Oil Purification System (O.P.S.) is the by-pass filtration unit able to maintain high oil quality and to guarantee a continuous oil regeneration by removing particles, water, corrosive gases and impurities enhancing oil lifetime, quality and safety.
The O.P.S. filtration system is realized to operate in continuous independently from the homogenizer so the maintenance time doesn’t compromise machine operation and allows a huge costs and time saving for the customers. The O.P.S. thus permits to reduce oil consumption by increasing oil lifetime thanks to continuous oil purification by 100% long-strand cotton fibers (they can capture particles up to 1 micron) and oil dehydration by its flash evaporation process.
The O.P.S. receives the oil from the homogenizer’s lubricating unit tank; the oil is first forced into a strainer pre-filter then pushed into the main filter made by cotton base and after the filtering process the oil is not under pressure downstream the main filter and returns inside the homogenizer by gravity.
It may surprise you how many products need homogenization in their manufacturing process to make them more compatible with your daily life. Stabilization and a longer shelf life have always been among the highest priorities in many different processing industries but, especially nowadays, as lifestyles continue to change rapidly, they are becoming more and more valued.
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.
There was a time when the phrases ‘non-alcoholic beer’ and ‘tastes good’ were seldom used together in the same sentence, particularly by consumers. But low-proof and alcohol-free beers have come a long way – many of them now refreshing drinks in their own right – thanks in no small part to technology from 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.
