An US based leading company in pharmaceutical industry with 72.000 employees in 130 countries worldwide has decided to buy an AVA-Pharma-Mixer for its site in South America.
They have already produced aids drugs in Italy on AVA-Dryers for many years.
The final product in South America is now an aids drug too. But in this case, the AVA mixer is more used as a storage vessel between the centrifuge and the fluidised bed drying.
This means concretely that several batches of the centrifuge are bunkered and slowely moved through the helix within the mixer, in order to avoid the forming of agglomerates. As soon as the final batch size is measured by the load cells, the complete batch is discharged in the fluidized bed dryer.
