This modular milling system has
nano-scale capabilities
The FreDrive-Lab is a modular milling
system for research, formulation and
analytical laboratories in the pharmaceutical,
cosmetic, fine chemical and
food industries. This patented system
integrates six different milling processes
into one system, enabling the user to
produce a wide variety of particle sizes
ranging down to a lower particle-size
distribution spectrum of D90 < 10 µm.
The latest addition to the FreDrive-Lab
product family, the NanoWitt high-performance
bead mill (photo), expands
the range's capabilities for particle-size
reduction, enabling wet nano-milling
down to 50 nm. Booth 2865 - Frewitt

Lab-scale filtration
and drying in one step
Optima Pharma
The GFD range of laboratory filter dryers
(photo) combines filtration, solids
isolation, cake washing and vacuum
drying into a single step. The GFD
range has recently been expanded with
two new models: the GFD Lab and
GFD Lab PLUS, which provide addi68
tional
configuration options in terms of
vessel capacity and automation. Stainless-steel
vessels are offered for highpressure
applications. The vessel has
a heated jacket for efficient drying and
a removable filtration basket for simplified
product collection. The GFD can
be integrated into fume hoods while
maintaining process visibility, batch
homogeneity and reduced product
exposure. The GFD Lab PLUS model
includes a digital display and touchscreen
to show realtime values and
graphs, as well as recipe inputs and
sequencing. The GFD is compatible for
microsphere separation or purification.
The agitated Nutsche-filter dryer technology
and distinctive agitator design
enable effective cake agitation in many
applications, including production of
dyes and paints, wastewater treatment
and pharmaceutical production. Booth

Turnkey solutions for complex
production environments
The MultiUse line of automated processing
machines are highly flexible
and fully automated to handle very specialized
or valuable products in different
delivery formats. The filler machine
from the MultiUse product line is suitable
for laboratory applications, as well
as small- to medium-batch operations,
and can be quickly converted for processing
different product formats and
container types, says the manufacturer.
The company also offers a variety of
turnkey services for complex production
systems (photo), including filling
and closing technologies, isolation and
freeze drying. This includes digitalized
planning, from the integrated factory
acceptance test (iFAT), site management
and the site acceptance test (SAT)
and comprehensive services utilizing
engineering technologies, such as flow
visualization. Also on display will be the
new CS freeze dryer, which is tailored
to products that are new to the market
and are initially produced in small
and medium quantities. The spacesaving
CS freeze dryer is optimized for
installation in existing buildings. Booth
