VANGUARD'S VZD
Pharma IBC Blending System is a first class blending equipment
that yield superb mixing uniformity of powder and other great
advantages over other type of blenders. It consists of an
Intermediate Bulk Container, rotary frame, driving system, lifting
system, braking and SIEMENS PLC Touch Screen Control System. The
operation is very simple: place the bin into the rotary frame, and
press the confirmation button on the touch screen. The bin is then
lifted to the required height and clamped. The driving system
starts to work and mix accordingly to the time and speed assigned
after the pressure sensors receive signal of tightly clamped.
Reaching to the parameters assigned, the braking system starts to
work and the rotary frame stops vertically. The mixing production
is finished. The lifting system then works accordingly to lay down
the bin. Pull the bin out from the rotary frame (can also separate
materials from the bin directly in the frame) and the printer
prints the entire production data. The working cycle has finished.
The structure trait of VZD IBC Blender is the rotary frame (bin)
and the mixing axis make of an angle, the movement of the
materials inside the bin contains the wall of bin. This will yield
a uniform and perfect mix.
A major advantage of using VZD Pharma IBCs in the manufacture of
pharmaceuticals, is the ability to carry out 'In Container
Blending' and homogenizing of dry powder formulations. IBC
blending offers dramatically improved efficiency compared with
conventional technology such as 'V' blenders including minimum
process changes as dictated by FDA guidelines. Loading and
unloading times are reduced, and no clean down of machinery is
required between batches as the powder is contained within the
IBC. As blending of dry powders is a key process in the
manufacture of drugs and is the main sampling point for products,
major savings can be found when sampling, as batches can be scaled
up with the use of IBCs.
VZD Pharma IBC Blending System is commonly used in pharmaceutical,
food processing and nutriceutical companies worldwide. It has a
compact structure, outstanding and reliable performance and it is
easy to operate. It can clamp bins of different models and volume.
Thus gaining its adaptation to the mixing demand of large output
and diversity products. There is no dead angle, concave-convex
face and no screw on the surface and all angles are cambered. The
surfaces outside and inside are mirror polished to achieve highest
quality. Roughness degree inside is Ra=0.2 m, and outside is Ra
=0.4 m. Applying sealing appliance made of silicon latex on the
cover of the bin to gain a good airproof quality. The mixing
effect reaches over 99% and charging coefficient ranges from 50%
to 80%. .
First Class
Blending System + Immediate & Long Run Cost Savings:
A bin blending system offers considerable savings. Consider the
following points:
Multiple shell blenders can be replaced, the entire blending
operation can be done in one small room. Cross contamination is a
non-issue as product will not be exposed to the blending room
environment.
Reduced Labor Costs. Fixed shell blenders take a long time to fill
and empty. Compared to bin blending, there can be as much as twice
the material handling. Generally, fixed shell blenders are loaded
from the floor above by gravity or by a vacuum. This means that all
the products have to be handled from the dispensary (weighing area)
and then discharged again into the blender (versus loading directly
in the bin). As opposed to bin blending, the loading process is
usually dusty, not ergonomic, and labor intensive. In a bin blending
operation, the materials are loaded directly into the bin, which can
take place in the dispensary and easily done in a high-containment
method.
Increase Product Quality. Fixed shell blenders require the
products to be transferred after blending into a drum or bin. Every
time the product is transferred, some segregation can take place. In
a bin blending operation, the product is transferred to the next
operation directly from the bin (blending container). Furthermore,
in many operations one or two steps that used to require that the
product be exposed to the room or additional fall tubes, vacuum
systems, etc., can be eliminated, thereby reducing the chance of
foreign substances entering the product.
Increase Finish Product Output: Your total amount of blends per
day is only limited to the amount of bins. Example: if you have 20
bins you can have 20 finished blends a day. The reason is that you
dont have to clean the base unit. Thus giving you up-time savings.
The IBC can also we used to feed tablet presses, capsule machines,
powder fillers and etc. This employs the use of a pharma bid lifter; Thus reducing dust and cross contamination.
