This liner system protects
employees and products
Traditional equipment used to fight
contamination, such as dust masks
and extractors, are no longer sufficient
to protect employees or products,
due to the expanding field of disease
control involving highly active ingredients
and substances. These higher
concentrations of dust and powder
become increasingly toxic, requiring
cutting-edge containment technology.
This company offers concept-to-finish
containment systems, including flexible
packaging and transfer solutions.
The company's continuous liner system
(CLS; photo) is used to ensure the
safety of personnel and products by
forming the interface between the production
outlet and the continuous liner
package. The liners are made of userspecific
foil material, and are available
in various sizes and folding heights.
The liners are manufactured in the
company's class ISO 5, ISO 7 and ISO
8 cleanrooms, and welded according
to established industry processes on
qualified systems. Axial folding enables
film lengths of up to 265 ft (80
m). Fold height and foil length are dependent
upon film thickness. Special
CLS liner sizes for customized foils
can also be produced. Stand 1441 -

Sanitary pneumatic receivers for
pharmaceutical applications
The P-Series pneumatic receivers
(photo) are suitable for applications
with a higher degree of sanitary requirements,
such as vacuum conveying
of difficult flowing powders and active
pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
46
These receivers are designed to provide
solutions for difficult conveying
applications for the pharmaceutical
industry and engineered to be easy to
lean and disassemble with wash-inplace
(WIP) and containment options
available. The sanitary receivers can
be used for gain-in-weight or loss-inweight
feeder refill applications, simple
up and in systems, such as indirect or
direct blender loading or conveying
blends to tablet presses or capsule
fillers. They typically convey materials
including free flowing to poorly
flowing powders, flakes and granular
materials requiring gentle conveying.
They are available in three models:
the P10 (10-L capacity) can convey
up to 600 kg/h; the P30 (30-L capacity)
can convey up to 1,800 kg/h; and
the P100 (100-L capacity) can convey
up to 4,000 kg/h. Stand 2258 -

Multiuse, cell and gene therapies
and freeze-drying technology
A number of technologies are being
exhibited by this company, including
flexible, low- to high-speed filling systems,
new solutions for cell and gene
therapies and the latest trends of
freeze-drying technologies. This company
offers a total turnkey approach
to handle complex projects for filling
lines with isolator and freeze-dryer
combined. The MultiUse platform enables
flexible production systems for
every application and batch size. The
technology is focused on processing
vials, syringes and cartridges all in one
machine platform. A high degree of
automation, robotic technology and a
state-of-the-art component-handling
system enables agile pharmaceutical
manufacturing and provides ultimate
flexibility to all market and production
demands. The portfolio ranges from
small scale, like MultiUse Lab for research
and development, up to highspeed
solutions for commercial manufacturing
up to 24,000 units per hour.
The company also provides freezedrying
equipment. The new LYOScale
freeze-drying system (photo) is
tailored for the production of small- to
medium-size quantities. The freezedryer
design fits into existing buildings
and can be configured for an optimal
