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 is alongside its customers too after system installation and validation and offers them a specific replacement service set off. Our team of experts is able to provide customized spare parts lists to plan the periodic replacement of parts subject to wear, managing the entire life cycle of spare parts. We have decided to dedicate […]
Issues: Particle size reduction down to low micron is needed Operators must be protected because product is very dusty Large campaigns with expensive product: highest productivity is needed High Potent apis will be added in the future “High Potent Ready” solution: Air-tight separation cyclone with WIP to contain dust Modular micronization equipment for easy integration […]
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 […]
