Description

• Conta Blending system has replaced completely the conventional blenders like 'V' shape / Double cone or Ribbon type.
• It is a latest cGMP concept with an emphasis on the dust free transfer of powders and granules at different stages from sizing / dispensing to compression / filing of Tablets or Capsules.
• The process involves collecting the sized granules in a Container, wheeling it to the Blender, engage the same with clamping system, lift and tumble for the prevalidated time in set number of rotations.
• Jay Pharma developed CONTA based on Pharma industries feedback on its Cage Blender which still is a market leader in this segment.
• Conta Blender has a flexibility of Batch Volume.
• Varying size of containers can be mounted on a drive console which is equipped which clamping cage.
• Batch size variation achievable in 500 Kg.
• Model for example, is from 75 Kg. to 500 Kg. using two different sizes of containers.
• The mixing efficiency is better than the other type of tumbling blenders like Double Cone, V or Octa as they rotate in a diagonal and in a eccentric plane.
• It shuffles the product intimately resulting in homogeneous blend within 5-20 min.

Salient Features

• 0 stopping for easy docking and undocking of the bin.
• A suitable fencing around the cage with an entry point for the bin on detachable trolley.
• Limit switch on entry door to prevent the accidental operation of the cage.
• Flexibility of accepting variable bin sizes providing wide range of batch volumes.
• cGMP construction with cladded polished S. S. sheets.
• The charging hole with cover is provided on top with quick opening and closing arrangement with dust proof joints for particle free transfer.
• Built-in Butterfly valve (150 mm dia) at the bottom suitable for discharge.
• Suitable leak proof vent on top.
• Capacity available 2 to 1000 Kgs.

Advantages

• Highly effective for low volume active blending with as low as 1 % active.
• Processing of different sizes of production batches in single equipment with scale up data.
• Dust-free operation in solid dosage processing area.
• No risk of De-blending on extended processing.
• Containerised transfer of processed material avoiding manual scooping.
• No Cleaning down time as the product container is mobile.

Application

• Blending of dry powder for capsules
• Blending of dried granules for tablets
• Closed system containment of processed powders/granules
• Single step transfer from Drying to Compression/Filling equipments with reduced material handling.
