Pharmaceutical R&D Technology
Building on the success of the well-established PharmaConnect® system, GEA now offers a new range of modular fluidized bed technologies: AirConnect.


Based on the outstanding success of PharmaConnect®, the AirConnect has been developed by GEA to meet the pharmaceutical industry's requirements for unit operation flexibility and is based on the proven principle that a single core component can be used for numerous processes by interchanging a range of application-specific modules.
Designed to utilize the company’s market-leading fluidized bed technology, and capable of running batches from as little as 200 g to more than 10 kg, the AirConnect not only performs fluid bed drying, but, when combined with the class-leading Flexstream device, can also be used for side-spray granulation and coating. More conventional top spray granulation processes are also possible and, in addition, the AirConnect can be integrated with GEA’s Precision-Coater for bottom spray micro-pellet coating.
Furthermore, AirConnect is also designed to work with GEA’s ConsiGma® continuous coater and FlexCoater technologies, offering rapid, high quality tablet coating functionality.
The AirConnect from GEA is the ultimate fluid bed processor for small-scale research and production applications. Suitable for granulating, drying and coating, the AirConnect accelerates and optimises product development by minimizing the amount of scale-up required to move from R&D-level batch processing to full-scale continuous production systems.

PharmaConnect® allows a number of diverse process modules to be docked to one control unit, including high shear granulation, pelletization and blending, coating.

FlexStream™, lineer ölçek büyütme, Farmasötik uygulamalar için tamamen muhafazalı yükleme ve boşaltma dahil olmak üzere geleneksel akışkan yataklı işlemenin mevcut eksikliklerine değinen yeni, çok amaçlı bir işleyicidir.

GEA, farmasötik endüstrisine karıştırma, granülasyon, kurutma, peletleme ve kaplama için akışkan yataklı işleyiciler (ABD'de akışkan yataklı Multi-Processor™ olarak da bilinmektedir) temin etmektedir.

GEA has expanded its popular PharmaConnect® system with the introduction of PharmaConnect®-PLUS, extending the unit’s high shear granulation capacity to encompass batch sizes of up to 60 kg.

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.

'Alkolsüz bira' ve 'güzel tat' ifadelerinin özellikle tüketiciler tarafından nadiren aynı cümlede kullanıldığı zamanlar vardı. Ancak düşük dereceli ve alkolsüz biralar uzun bir yol katetti - büyük bir çoğunluğu GEA'nın küçümsenemeyecek teknolojisi sayesinde artık kendi sınıflarında ferahlatıcı bir içecek haline geldi.

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.
