Going continuous: accelerating the speed of tablet production
21-Mar-2018
The shift from batch to “continuous” production could represent one of the largest paradigm shifts in pharma processing
By miniaturising the equipment, the continuous process can be enclosed in a portable, modular facility, which can be shipped by truck to any location in the world and quickly assembled. Once up and running, the system will deliver the capability to transform powders into uncoated tablets in minutes, which can take days or weeks with current technology.
With lower upfront investment costs compared with traditional facility design and build approaches, lower energy and resource requirements, and enhanced quality, PCMM pod-based mini factories look to be the solution for many of the pharmaceutical industry’s flexibility needs. Additional benefits include increased OEE, optimised R&D (10 times less material use, 10 times faster than conventional batch equipment), multiple formulations and flexible batch sizes, and reduced cleaning costs and materials.
By expanding our production facilities at Freiburg, capacity is being increased, the annual production volume of tablets and capsules from 6.5 billion to around 10 billion.
