Hosokawa

A new method of lyophilisation that uses a single, sterilisable, closed vessel. It delivers a lump free, fine powder as a product and has the capability to revolutionize the production of bulk pharmaceutical powders. With the benefits of improved operator safety, reduced equipment space requirements and high quality, contaminant free end product results, the proven, Active Freeze Drying technology, from Hosokawa Micron B.V., is making pharmaceutical manufacturers worldwide reconsider their existing tray type freeze drying technology. Material is frozen quickly inside the vessel. Energy needed for sublimation is applied through the jacket and distributed efficiently throughout the product by the stirrer. The finished dried material moves in the form of a fine loose powder to the filter. Hosokawa Micron’s Active Freeze Drying system is capable of drying solutions, dispersions, pastes and wet solids with successful applications including antibiotics, APIs, proteins, collagens and electrolytes. .
