Ideally Suited for Preliminary Tests Prior to Major Production Runs

The cooler is ideally suited for running preliminary tests prior to major production runs. All of the parameters needed by a large pharmaceutical plant can be simulated using the CCRM-20/12PH, therefore enabling important cooling process parameters such as product thickness, roller speed as well as product temperature to be tested and realised later on in scaled-up operation. Informative knowledge has already been taken into consideration with regard to the choice of materials used for the surfaces coming into contact with the products during major production runs, e.g. the rollers and conveyor belts, having been specially chosen for use with products that have adhesive characteristics.

Production Flexibility With Integrated Mills

The integrated Frewitt milling unit also has many separate adjustment options and high flexibility for producing the final product. For example, conical sieving mills can also be integrated as well as hammer mills, but it depends on the required throughput and/or final grain size. Naturally, dust-free processing, as used here, is one of the obligatory requirements of the pharmaceutical industry.

Easy Cleaning and Clean Room Compability

This also applies to the cleaning: The complete unit is easy to clean as the highest requirements regarding cleanliness and the absence of pathogens in the clean rooms is paramount in all of the main application areas of the pharmaceutical and life science industries. All of the components can be dismantled easily and quickly without using tools. This ensures that frequent product changes, which often occur in development laboratories and during small quantity production runs, can be carried out seamlessly.

BBA also provides a lockable parts case for storing the dismantled components of the cooling/milling system in addition to many other options. This, for example, enables the parts that come into contact with the product to be removed for washing and a second set to be installed during a batch change. wer
