R&D Granulation and Drying (GD)
CONSIGMA® 1
Based on proven continuous twin-screw granulation technology, the ConsiGma® 1 has bee designed for the small- scale development of continuous granulation processes.
The system comprises the same twin-screw granulator as the smallest unit of the ConsiGma® CTL lines and a small dryer that’s similar to one of the drying segments. This allows you to develop your products on the same scale with product quantities starting from just a few 100 grams up to a few kilograms. The results are directly transferrable to the standard size ConsiGma® CTL line.
The ConsiGma® 1 is ideal for pharmaceutical companies who wish to develop a continuous granulation process before the fully integrated production line is installed.
