Spray dryer for the pharmaceutical industry
80 - 4 000 kg/h | PHARMASD™ GEA Niro

GEA Niro has developed a series of spray dryers dedicated to the pharmaceutical industry manufacturing. The dryers, named PHARMASD™ (PSD) have been designed using standard modules that incorporate all the required features necessary for cGMP production in the environment of a pharmaceutical plant.
The philosophy behind the design is that a combination of standardised modules is built together to meet the requirement for a specific duty. Therefore, dryers of equal capacity may be completely different with respect to design, configuration and physical size. This allows GEA Niro to focus specifically on the needs of the customer and the demands of the process without physical limitations to the design of the equipment.
The PSD dryers either use hot air or nitrogen as drying gas. Nitrogen is used when drying non-aqueous compounds. The dryers can be designed for drying of a wide range of compounds that are based on acetone, methylene chloride, ethanol, and other organic solvents. The drying process and product characteristics vary greatly, depending on the solvent used.
