Kemutec Powder Technologies announces the installation of a high specification package for GSK.

GSK had several requirements for the package to fulfil, central of which was to accommodate a multi-product process train. This was achieved by designing in quick change operating parameters, equipment speeds, type of grinding media and sieve and screen type.

The package consists of two RB100 screw feeders, which lead into two KEK Under-Driven Cone Mills. These in turn feed into two KEK Centrifugal Sifters. Mobile and sliding support mechanisms were developed to allow a milling or sieving operation to be added or removed from the process quickly and easily. The sifters are mounted on moveable structures, as GSK required them to be interchangeable with two existing flat-deck machines.

Impressively, all machines used in the package are manufactured in C22 Hastelloy, thus accommodating the corrosive nature of materials and cleaning fluids. All of the machines were pressure designed to allow them to be fully flooded during CIP for product dissolution, providing an extremely effective form of cleaning.

Martin Thomson, Sales Director of Kemutec commented that “this project continues our desire as a company to work with GSK, and to constantly develop and provide solutions for their unique demands”.
