Pharmaceutical Powder Handling System
A pharmaceutical powder handling system connects raw material charging, dispensing, enclosed transfer and downstream processing equipment so powders move with better dust control, cleanability and process consistency.
View detailsOSD Powder Processing Line
An OSD powder processing line links dispensing, transfer, sieving, milling, blending, granulation, drying and final feed steps for tablet, capsule and dry powder production workflows.
View detailsAPI Powder Transfer & Containment System
An API powder transfer and containment system helps move potent or dust-sensitive powders between discharge, weighing, charging and process equipment with selected containment features.
View detailsPowder Transfer & Vacuum Conveying System
A powder transfer and vacuum conveying system moves powders from charging points to process equipment through enclosed pipework, helping reduce manual lifting, dust release and cross-room handling.
View detailsWeighing, Dispensing & Containment System
A weighing, dispensing and containment system supports controlled powder batching before processing, combining operator protection features, weighing accuracy and material traceability options.
View detailsMilling, Sieving & Delumping System
A milling, sieving and delumping system conditions powders before downstream processing by reducing lumps, controlling particle size and screening oversized or foreign material.
View detailsBlending & IBC Handling System
A blending and IBC handling system manages powder batches through bin charging, blending, discharge, transfer and downstream feed while reducing manual container handling.
View detailsGranulation & Drying Line
A granulation and drying line combines high shear mixing, wet granulation, fluid bed drying, discharge, milling, sieving and transfer into an OSD powder processing workflow.

Quotation input
What Information Is Needed For Quotation
A clearer URS and layout package helps the engineering team confirm equipment scope, capacity assumptions, containment expectations and documentation needs.
Product name, powder properties, bulk density, particle size range and flowability notes.
Required capacity per batch or per hour, target transfer distance and elevation.
Process layout, room classification expectations and upstream/downstream equipment interfaces.
Containment, dust extraction, cleaning, material contact and documentation expectations.
Utilities, control preference, automation scope and FAT/SAT/IQ/OQ support 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.
