The pharmaceutical machine builder L.B. Bohle from Westphalia records huge success in South America thanks to the restructuring and expansion of the distribution network recently launched.

Through the support of the two local agencies Maquidrex (Brazil) and Tecfarma (Argentinia), two new process machines – one Fluid Bed System and a Bohle Table Coater - were commissioned in the growth market of South America.
The Bohle team installed a BFS 120 Bohle Uni Cone BUC® Fluid Bed System at the premises of the Brazil-based company Biolab. Biolab specialists visited the service center at Bohle headquarters in Ennigerloh and examined the quality of the process machine. Just six months later, the machine was commissioned at the Brazil site in Sao Paulo.

Biolab aims to produce pellets with a 50 percent mass gain using the Fluid Bed System which is also used for drying and coating in addition to granulating.
Apart from the Bohle Uni Cone BUC®, the first Bohle process machine – the Tablet Coater BTC 600 – was installed at the company Montpellier in Buenos Aires, Argentina. At Montpellier, the coater is used for optimizing tablet production and increasing the tablet throughput by more than 70 percent.

Furthermore, Marjan in Sao Paulo will begin production with another Bohle machine - the Bohle Tablet Coater BTC 400 Ex - in early September this year.

These three examples demonstrate that L.B. Bohle continues to solidify its position in the South American market. The number of Bohle process and handling machines is growing considerably, showing that South America is another pillar in the sales strategy of the SME machine builder from Westphalia in addition to their core markets in Europe and the USA.
