"A Blog from the Perspective of the Patient Impact” by Dave DiProspero, company CRB USA
Well-known pharmaceutical companies such as Janssen and Vertex use continuous manufacturing for the production of their substances, like Prezista (Janssen) resp. Orkambi (Vertex). They interlink several production steps into a process-reliable and coordinated production lines. Our Gerteis roller compactors are part of this equipment. Thanks to unique process management we convert the powder blend into flow-optimized granules.
Our Roller Compactors for Continuous Manufacturing
The article describes the challenges pharmaceutical companies face today and the possibilities that a continuous manufacturing (CM) opens up for OSD.
Dave DiProspero works out the advantages and illustrates them using production examples at the companies Vertex, Janssen and Eli Lilly in the manufacture of cystic fibrosis, cancer and HIV drugs.
We are proud that our roller compactors for dry granulation are used in these systems. It confirms our work as well as our approach to finding and implementing customer-specific solutions.
We are also delighted to be involved in the production of medicines and to make our humanitarian contribution.
