Romaco, a pharmaceutical process solutions company, will present one stop solutions for manufacturing, filling and packaging pharmaceuticals at this year's CPHI in Milan.
According to the company, sustainable components and processes are a key development priority, and a number of solutions with this in mind will be presented at CPHI this year, including:
- Fluid bed processors
- Granulation lines
- Tablet presses
- Drum coaters
- Primary, secondary and tertiary packaging solutions for processing and filling (liquids, powders and solid dosage forms)
All Romaco machines are developed and manufactured in accordance with the Group’s high sustainability standards. Featuring energy-efficient systems and designed using recycled or recyclable materials, they actively contribute to reducing carbon dioxide emissions worldwide.
Romaco recently earned a silver medal in the EcoVadis Sustainability Rating for its commitment to climate protection.
Among other things, Innojet fluid bed processors can be equipped with heat recovery systems that reduce heat energy consumption by up to 70%, depending on the product and the process. The VENTILUS® Lab fluid bed processor from Romaco Innojet will be on show at CPhI Milan.
VENTILUS Lab fluid bed processor from Romaco Innojet
Designed for laboratory-scale applications, the VENTILUS Lab fluid bed processor from Romaco Innojet is used for granulating, drying and coating particles of any size from 10 µm to 2 mm.
This multipurpose lab unit is intended for batch sizes from 0.7 to 7.0L. With its innovative process air distribution system inside the cylindrical product container, the VENTILUS Lab shortens batch processing times by up to 25% because the required power can be used far more efficiently.
The process air is introduced through the circular ORBITER® booster, ensuring homogeneous flow conditions and extremely gentle intermixing of the batch. In combination with a central bottom spray nozzle, the ORBITER® booster plate forms a unique functional unit enabling much simpler scale-up processes.
When it comes to nozzle technology, users can choose between the tried-and-tested ROTOJET® spray nozzle and the new FLEXIJET®, which was specifically developed for granulation processes and is not only very easy to handle but also quick to clean.
The patented fluid bed components invented by Dr. h. c. Herbert Hüttlin lie behind the remarkably accurate application of the spray liquid with a precisely defined droplet size.
With controlled release formulations, for instance, the modified release profiles are achieved using 10 to 15% less material. This targeted reduction in spray liquid usage also means less power consumption, so that the VENTILUS® Lab results in substantially fewer carbon dioxide emissions from fluid bed processes. Furthermore, the rotating SEPAJET® filter system minimises general product loss by returning particles retained by the filter to the process rather than discharging them.
On show at CPhI in Milan (Italy) from October 8 to 10, 2024 (Fiera Milano, Stand 18A49).
