PROCESS EQUIPMENT UPDATE
According to Van Pelt, Sigmapharm has eff ectively implemented a 30ft3 blender and a 1ft3
V slant cone blender from
the tumble blender manufacturer. “Over decades, GEMCO has essentially perfected tumble blending,” says Van Pelt. “T ey engineered the precise angles and speed of revolution needed to achieve proper blending inside the vessel and can adapt this based on product requirements.” With the preciseness of the technology,
a V-shape tumble blender is capable of achieving a standard deviation of less than 2%, and a slant cone confi guration can achieve a standard deviation as low as 0.33%. In the nutraceutical fi eld, loading can be accomplished via drum loading. T is includes a dust-free, GEMCOmatic loading option, where the tumble blender rotates until the drum inverts and the discharge valve opens, allowing the contents to fl ow into the blender. T e valve then shuts automatically and the emptied drum returns to the loading position. T e latest version allows for a pre-programmed discharge sequence. For nutraceutical manufacturers that
have sought to ensure product quality through the fi ne blending of many components, but were unsatisfi ed with traditional methods, tumble blending will help to optimise the process. With greater process control, manufacturers will even be able to signifi cantly reduce blending steps and cost, while substantiating label claims and clinical trials.
