Containment system as a complete solution

L.B. Bohle recently supplied a complete solution for mixing, Sieving, wet granulation and pressing of solids to a global pharmaceutical company. With this complex system, which was installed in one room, the customer is modernising its production process. At the same time, personal safety is improved and capacity increased.

Single-Pot Granulator VMA 35 ensures maximum mixing and granulation efficiency

The key machine component of the project is the VMA 35 Single-Pot Granulator in Ex design, including the feeder. In addition, there is the combined mixing and sieving station, which consists of a Lifting Columns with a Rotation Sieve and the Container Blender PM 400. The third module, the XL 100 WIP Con tableting machine from KORSCH AG, completes the system. It is also fed by a Lifting Columns integrated into the automation system.

The highly complex systems are suitable for containment applications thanks to the use of active and passive flaps. The Single-Pot Granulator and the mixing and sieving station are also designed for installation in EX zone 2/22.
A central CIP station (Cleaning-In-Place) is used for effective cleaning of all systems. The scope of delivery also includes MCL containers (with a cleaning frame) in various sizes, which are also cleaned automatically at the CIP station. The containers are dried quickly at a heating and ventilation station.
