Pharma Voyager - ideal for pilot plant operation and PAT research

16 Jan 2006

Malvern Instruments will show the Insitec Pharma Voyager on-line/automated at-line particle size analyzer.

Launched at last year’s Interphex event, this neatly packaged mobile system is proving to be an attractive option in pharmaceutical manufacturing, especially for pilot plant operation and PAT research, where mobility, cleanability and ease of operation are important. It is also a valuable tool for sites needing to monitor multiple unit operations such as mills, spray driers, atomizers and classifiers. Built for the plant environment, it can be moved easily to production at any point.

Pharma Voyager has been designed specifically to meet the needs of the pharmaceutical industry. It is based on Malvern’s highly robust Insitec T laser diffraction-based particle size analyzer - a system that is proven in countless pharmaceutical applications, and whose GMP design features include the use of tri-clamping and 316L stainless steel for easy cleaning to pharmaceutical standards.

A completely mobile and self-contained unit, Pharma Voyager delivers on-line continuous or automated at-line particle size measurement for solid particulates suspended in gas streams. It provides real-time size analysis of particles in the size range 0.5 to 1000 microns, and features CIP, SIP and 21CFR compliance, and validation with material certificates. An intrinsically safe option is also available on request.
