A spiral jet mill is a piece of equipment used to reduce the particle size of pharmaceutical and fine chemical powders down to few micrometers. It is made of different components, each designed for a specific part of the micronization process. The product is first poured in a feeder where it is fed into the product line of […]
Early drug development is increasingly important, and FPS supports that activity by offering new custom solutions that fit the specific needs of the Pharmaceutical, Biotech and Fine Chemical sectors. What do we mean by isolators for R&D and Pilot Plants? These machines are installed in research laboratories and/or pilot production plants, to ensure safe handling of active substances in […]
FPS has recently cooperated with pharmaceutical industry experts to research best jet mill practices for pharmaceutical. FPS strongly believes in knowledge sharing and continuous improvement. For this reason, FPS President, Eng. Gianola, and Vice President, Mr Corsini, both experts in milling and micronization technologies, worked with M. Nakach Ph.D on a research published in the Pharmaceutical Development and Technology Magazine. Mr. Nakach works at Sanofi. He […]
FPS has recently delivered a high containment Integrated systems for an Oncology plant in Bangalore. The system is composed by an ANFD discharge Isolator, a Vacuum Transport System (VTS) and a Micronization equipment PROMILL-8 in Isolator. “Our client searched an appropriate solution for -grinding material and clean packaging after the filtering and drying process-“ say […]
