    PHCbi High Performance Pharmaceutical Refrigerator: MPR-S500RH-PA

    PHCbi brand’s 19.5 cu.ft. (554 L) pharmaceutical refrigerator with adjustable shelving and forced-air circulation help helps ensures uniform temperature control from 2°C to 14°C. The sliding glass door design minimizes air loss and supports easy access in high-use environments. A microprocessor controller and OLED display feature excellent visibility and intuitive operation utilizing control buttons that provide convenient, yet secure, user commands. Refrigeration temperature can be displayed in 0.1°C increments, and the minimum and maximum temperatures within the previous 12 and 24 hours are displayed. Audible and visual alarms with adjustable setpoints warn of deviations from setpoint temperatures, and all alarm conditions are displayed and recorded. A password-protected control interface assures operational security. Natural hydrocarbon refrigerants and inverter compressor technology deliver quiet, energy-efficient performance with fast recovery. ENERGY STAR® Certified.

  • Isolated Antibody Drug Conjugates ADCs GettyImages-1438509824
    Antibody-Drug Conjugates

    Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) are the emerging class of anti-cancer therapeutic drugs. ADCs combine an antibody capable of recognizing cancer cells and cytotoxic small-molecule drugs via cleavable or non-cleavable linkers, thereby transforming the 3-unit combination into a targeted therapeutic drug for cancer treatment. In recent years, ADCs have rapidly developed and there are not only more than 14 approved drugs on the market but also many investigational drugs undergoing clinical trials. Furthermore, ADCs have shown potential for treating various diseases beyond cancer, such as Autoimmune disorders, Infectious diseases, Inflammatory conditions and so on.  

  • SSV
    Pharmaceutical Checkweigher For Product Inspection

    The SSV-h Checkweigher is a great cost-effective solution for industrial, pharmaceutical, and packaged food products that need to meet stringent accuracy and reliability standards. It is equipped with a force balance load cell that produces faster response and readings with maximum accuracy of +/- 0.01 g. The Smart Measurement Function uses improved signal processing, filtering, and scale resolution to reduce rejections due to double product errors. The giveaway feature calculates product excess both as total weight and percentage, allowing you to adjust filling levels and reduce costs. The SSV-h series comes with an IP30 dustproof rating that makes it ideal for non-washdown applications. Its lightweight and rigid conveyor can be easily disassembled and wiped clean without any tools.

ABOUT

Mixing and Blending
Mixing and blending are terms that have specific meaning in the food industry.  Most food processing experts use the word mixing to describe the process of combining wet and dry materials.
Blending is the term used to describe the process of combining only dry ingredients.  The term blending is generally reserved for powders, flakes and granules of varying bulk densities and particle size that require gently blending and minimal contact with blender blades.
Agitation is often used synonymously with the term mixing. However, in food processing, agitation is used to ensure the mixing process to get a homogenous mix is completed faster.
Many industries require the mixing of free-flowing powders. The art of mixing involves different dilution geometries (a geometry is a way of combining unequal amounts of fine powders to ensure an equal distribution).
The geometric mix used depends on the size distribution, shape, particle density, composition and internal structures.  Other properties include flow ability, bulk density, mixture quality, dustiness and properties of segregation.
Industrial mixers are used to do the blending and mixing.  The shape and hardness of the materials being mixed affects the horsepower required to run the mixer.  The type of mixer used in a production line varies depending on the materials that need to be mixed or blended. Paddle mixers are often the best choice for production line mixing because they are easy to clean, have less surface area, and have a minimal number of parts.
Mixing and blending is generally a sub-process within an overall process cycle so when placing a mixer it is important to consider how it integrates into the whole system. That includes impacts to both upstream and downstream product handling.
