Ultima™ Processing systems

For immediate release- July 19, 2001

Niro Pharma Systems offers the Ultima™ processing system utilizing a single container for mixing, granulating, drying, coating, and pelletizing. It provides high containment for enhanced operator safety, especially when processing highly potent or toxic formulations. Its compact size takes up minimal floor space, and the Ultima™ 25 is easily moveable, small enough to fit through a standard door. Its CIP capability allows decreased cleaning times for quicker changeover.

The Ultima™ is the first single-pot processor to combine a swinging bowl and microwave drying in an efficient and safe way. The use of microwaves during the drying process ensures fast and even drying of granules. The swinging bowl increases the available contact surface between the granulate and jacket, resulting in faster drying.

Niro Pharma Systems is an international company specializing in the development, design, and engineering of liquid and powder processing equipment for the manufacture of products in liquid, powder, granulate, agglomerate, or tablet form. Niro products include spray dryers and coolers, fluid bed systems, evaporators, packaging equipment, high-pressure homogenizers, membrane filtration systems, and pharmaceutical processing systems.
