This solids-dosing system is accurate and flexible
The new modular, multi-dosing system (photo) from this company is suitable for accurate powder dosing of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients in the process of solid-dosage production. Up to eight different dosing units, each designed to specific product characteristics, such as feedrate, accuracy and flow behavior, are modularly configurable according to user requirements. The multi-dosing system can be executed for continuous production processes with refilling units, as well as for traditional batch procedures. High-accuracy dosing results, also with hardly flowing and cohesive powders, are essential for a repeatable process and further steps, such as mixing/blending, granulation, hot-melt extrusion, drying, direct compression and coating. Depending on the diameter and design of the screws, outputs from 0.005 kg/h up to 1,000 kg/h can be achieved. — Three-Tec GmbH, Seon, Switzerland
