Federal Equipment Company has introduced for 2018, an expanded classroom for the “The Manufacturing Process,” which offers hands-on experience to learn about pharmaceutical manufacturing. The program is designed for everyone in the pharmaceutical manufacturing organization: operators, supervisors, R&D staff, formulators, QA/QC, engineering, purchasing, maintenance professionals, sales, and administration and support activities, to provide an in depth understanding of solid dose operations regardless of skill level.
 
The course is led by Michael D. Tousey, technical director and chief executive officer of Techceuticals, a company that provides training and troubleshooting for solid dosage drug manufacturing companies. In addition to the course from Techceuticals, equipment suppliers will demonstrate select equipment at Federal Equipment’s Cleveland, OH, equipment storage and demonstration facility.
 
January’s event will feature newly added additions from Robert Bosch Packaging GmbH and Alexanderwerk, Inc. 
 

Robert Bosch Packaging will demonstrate operation of a new GKF Capsylon 705 Capsule filler, which features time synchronized modular stations designed for an output of 42,000 capsules and hour; suitable for medium batch runs and frequent product changes.
 
Alexanderwerk, which provides granulation and compaction equipment for the pharmaceutical, chemicals, and food industries, will demonstrate roller compaction with a factory-maintained WP120 V PHARMA roller compactor.  This equipment, specifically designed for use in pharmaceutical manufacturing operations, features a portable design with horizontal screw feeder with pre-breaker, cantilevered rolls, flake crusher, and pre-granulator and fine granulator attachments. The unit is rated +/- 5g batch and capable of 8 – 40 kg/hour continuous operation.
