Pharmaceutical Vacuum Conveyor
A pharmaceutical vacuum conveyor transfers powders through enclosed pipework to reduce manual handling and support dust-controlled feeding of process equipment.
View detailsDust-free Bag Dumping Station
A dust-free bag dumping station provides a controlled point for opening bags and discharging powders while local extraction and downstream transfer options help reduce dust release.
View detailsGMP Weighing Booth
A GMP weighing booth supports controlled powder dispensing and sampling with airflow, filtration and ergonomic working space selected for the process risk level.
View detailsPharmaceutical Vibro Sifter
A pharmaceutical vibro sifter screens powders to remove oversize particles, support particle consistency and protect downstream equipment.
View detailsPharmaceutical Cone Mill
A pharmaceutical cone mill reduces lumps and sizes powders or granules using selectable screens, impellers and speed settings for process-specific particle conditioning.
View detailsIBC Bin Blender
An IBC bin blender blends powders inside an intermediate bulk container, reducing transfer steps and supporting efficient batch movement between process areas.
View detailsHigh Shear Mixer Granulator
A high shear mixer granulator combines powder mixing, binder addition and wet granulation in one vessel before discharge to drying or downstream sizing equipment.
View detailsFluid Bed Dryer
A fluid bed dryer dries wet granules using controlled process air before discharge to milling, sieving, blending or final transfer steps.
View detailsHammer Mill for Pharmaceutical Powder Size Reduction
A hammer mill is used for dry size reduction of powders, granules and brittle materials by mechanical impact. It is commonly reviewed for coarse to medium powder processing, pre-milling before sieving or further milling, and robust dry crushing where screen-based size control is acceptable.
View detailsConical Mill for Controlled Delumping and Powder Sizing
A conical mill is used for controlled delumping, granule calibration and powder sizing through a conical screen and rotating impeller. It is commonly evaluated for OSD granules, excipients, dry powders and particle size uniformity before downstream processing.
View detailsTurbo Sieving Mill for Powder Sieving, Classification and Delumping
A turbo sieving mill is used for powder sieving, classification, deagglomeration and particle consistency control. It is commonly reviewed before or after milling, drying or transfer when powders should pass through screen control before downstream processing.
View detailsJet Mill for API Micronization and Fine Powder Processing
A jet mill is used for fine powder micronization by using high-speed compressed air or gas to accelerate particles and create particle-to-particle impact. For pharmaceutical applications, it is commonly evaluated for API, DPI and fine powder processing where particle size control, cleanability, dust control and documentation requirements are important. Final particle size results should be confirmed by material testing or technical evaluation.
View detailsNano Bead Mill for Wet Grinding and Fine Dispersion
A nano bead mill is used for wet grinding and fine dispersion of particles in liquid or slurry form. It is evaluated for suspensions, slurries and formulation systems where viscosity, solid content, grinding media, cooling and circulation time strongly affect the result.
View detailsHigh Speed Disperser for Liquid-Solid Mixing and Powder Dispersion
A high speed disperser is used for liquid-solid mixing, powder wetting and pre-dispersion. It prepares powders into a more uniform liquid or slurry system before bead milling, basket milling, storage or formulation steps.
View detailsVertical Basket Mill for Small-Batch Wet Milling and Dispersion
A vertical basket mill is used for small-batch wet milling and dispersion. The grinding basket works inside the process vessel, making it useful for lab, pilot and flexible batch processes where slurry or suspension behavior must be tested.
View detailsMelt Extruder for Pharmaceutical Hot Melt Extrusion Applications
A melt extruder is used for hot melt extrusion and formulation processing where materials are fed, heated, mixed and extruded through screw and die configurations. It is evaluated for pharmaceutical polymer and API formulations, controlled-release development and lab, pilot or production process review.
View detailsContinuous Granulation System for Pharmaceutical Powder Processing
A continuous granulation system is used for pharmaceutical powder processing when the project requires continuous feeding, wetting or granulation and downstream discharge or sizing. It is positioned as a process-section equipment solution and can be evaluated together with upstream and downstream process requirements.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the solution be adapted to an existing production room?+
Yes. Layouts can be reviewed around existing rooms, ceiling height, operator access, utilities and equipment interfaces before a final proposal is prepared.
Is documentation support available for pharmaceutical projects?+
Documentation support can be included according to project scope, including drawings, material certificates, FAT/SAT records and IQ/OQ support if required.
Can one project combine several powder handling steps?+
Yes. Powder receiving, dispensing, transfer, sieving, milling, blending, granulation and drying can be combined as an integrated line when the process requires it.
What equipment is usually needed for an OSD powder processing line?+
A typical OSD line may include weighing and dispensing, vacuum conveying, vibro sifting, cone milling, IBC blending, high shear granulation, fluid bed drying and final transfer equipment. The exact scope depends on the formula, batch size and process route.
How can dust and cross-contact risk be reduced in API powder handling?+
The review normally focuses on closed transfer paths, local extraction, contained charging or discharge, cleanable stainless steel contact parts, suitable seals, operator access and cleaning procedures matched to the product risk.
