    What’s Your Project?

    Application Example 1 – Medicine Tablet Coatings:

    • A recent solution: 50L ATEX Mixing Vessel
    • One of the ingredients is high ethanol content
    • A bottom outlet valve makes it very easy to decant the finished mix
    • The motorised air mixer and propeller achieve a more consistent mix than could be done manually

     

    Application Example 2: Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) Manufacturing:

    • A recent solution: 30L ATEX Mixing Vessel
    • Potentially flammable ingredients include volatile organic compounds or solvents
    • The vessel prevents ignition from electrostatic discharges or hot surfaces while providing effective mixing for uniform product quality

     

    Handling of Reactive Compounds:

    • A recent solution: 100L ATEX Mixing Vessel
    • Some pharmaceutical compounds are reactive and can release gases or become unstable under certain conditions
    • ATEX-certified vessels allow for controlled mixing without risking unintended reactions or ignition

     

    Suspensions for Injectable or Topical Formulations:

    • A recent solution: 80L ATEX Mixing Vessel
    • For the production of sterile emulsions and suspensions,
      for injectable and/or topical drug delivery
