Cost-effective integrated GT 1600 X.ONE Granulation Suite meets
large-batch requirements while offering premium flexibility and precision.
Piscataway, NJ – ACG Engineering – one of the four businesses of ACG Group, the only supplier in the world offering end-to-end oral solid dosage manufacturing solutions for the pharmaceutical industry – has introduced a line of integrated granulation equipment designed to meet increasing needs for high-volume production. Combining the company’s HSM 2000 X.ONE high shear mixer and FBE 1800 X.ONE fluid bed units, the new GT 1600 X.ONE is a best-in-class granulation system for high volume batch production.
The GT 1600 X.ONE’s efficiency and cost-effectiveness stems from its well-engineered mechanical and process integration. Among other benefits, the successful marriage of two reliable and robust process units enhances overall efficiency while eliminating the frequent shortcomings of conventional granulation approaches, such as significant production space, longer processing time and lower yields. Overall production efficiency is also heightened, as the combined unit creates a comprehensive solution providing the best of both the HSM 2000 X.ONE and FBE 1800 X.ONE.
The GT 1600 X.ONE features a highly efficient Z-shaped impeller to ensure optimum material flow and improved content uniformity of the granulation. To assist with effective discharge and cleanability, a compressed air system enhances the reliability of the discharge valve seal, and bag-type mechanical shaking filter on the fluid bed offers a more effective product retention and higher yields compared with alternative blow-back style systems. Transfer of the wet granulated material into the fluid bed is also optimally configured through the selection of a tangential charge port, ensuring effective product transfer and a consistently repeatable drying operation.
The integrated line can be configured for a “through the wall” installation that further optimizes process room layout while improving access for calibration and maintenance and enabling GMP compliance. It is also safety-centric: the GT 1600 X.ONE is equipped with ACG’s Maximum Operational Safety Technology (MOST), an advanced engineering approach to 12-bar safety that ensures complete security for the customer’s investment.
Other benefits of ACG’s GT 1600 X.ONE Granulation Suite include contained product handling for improved industrial hygiene; Good Automated Manufacturing Practice (GAMP®)-based documentation and 21CFR Part 11 compliant controls for conformity to global regulatory norms; and complete systems integration of the process controls based upon a common platform for intuitive, user-friendly operation.
