The cyclone tank is designed to separate the product conveyed into the production lines from the dust-laden air.
The dust-laden air that is discharged from the top of the cyclone is filtered through static or bag type filters, while the product collects inside the cyclone tank. The product maximum and minimum levels are monitored by two vibrating probes that control product feeding. The bottom of the cyclone tank is equipped with a vibrating base that facilitates the discharge of product and avoids clogging at the outlet.
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.
