Mixing Equipment
Mixing is an important part of pharmaceutical production. Operations can include dissolving solids and powders, preparing emulsions, combining raw materials, enabling chemical reactions, and milling active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), to name a few.
IBC Blenders
Container blending has long been established as the most efficient method of blending granules and powders during pharmaceutical manufacturing. Faster loading and unloading, reduced machinery and room cleaning times, improved containment and batch integrity have established IBC blending as the industry’s technology of choice. Robust construction ensures a long working life. The clamping cage provides a secure connection to the top and the bottom of the IBC, reducing mechanical stress during rotation and preventing damage. Air-driven screw jacks ensure that the IBC remains fully clamped, even if machine utilities are lost. Positive IBC detection prevents any un-clamped blender operation and the cage rotation motor is braked, preventing any utility free movement and providing an emergency stop option. The user friendly control system makes it simple to load blend recipes and print completed batch information. Blending speed is controlled using a variable speed drive and 21 CFR Part 11-compliant controls are available for electronic records. The Pedestal Blender is available with the main pedestal housed in the technical area and the clamping cage in the process area. An airtight wall plate is supplied as a barrier between the two rooms. A smaller processing room results in reduced area and running costs, and technicians can access the pedestal from the technical side (without entering the GMP production area).

Pedestal Blender
Pedestal blender range enables IBC blending at volumes up to 3000 L. The robust design of the clamping cage provides a secure connection at the top and bottom of the IBC, preventing premature mechanical fatigue and damage. Pneumatically operated screw jacks provide a fail-safe clamping system that, unlike hydraulic versions, remain in place in the event of utility failure. The main support pedestal is designed to be housed in the technical area: an optional stainless steel design is available if the entire machine needs to be located in a cleanroom. Our Single Pedestal machines can accommodate “Size 4” IBCs (up to 2000 L). The Double Pedestal Blender enables “Size 5” IBCs (up to 3000 L) to be used.

Laboratory Blender
Laboratory Blender has been specifically designed for small-scale research work with dry powders and granular material. A laboratory scale solution is available for 3-30 L volume blending, allowing for easy and repeatable scale-up to production scale. The Lab blender is available for both purchase and rental.
