Blenders
Plug‑and‑play blending with effortless setup, seamless integration via carriage or lifting column, and full modularity for options like diverters, samplers, and PAT tools.
Powder Flow
Optimized powder handling with a steep collection hopper for reliable discharge of critical ingredients and a de‑charging system that improves flowability for electrostatic powders.
Design
Hygienic, GMP‑compliant design that improves cleanability while simplifying operator interactions for faster, repeatable setups and reduced downtime.
AGILE PHARMA
Pharma mini blender
Gericke’s mini blender combines the flexibility of batch processing with the efficiency of semi-continuous operation—ideal for ultra-small, high-potency formulations. It’s built for fast development, easy handling, and seamless scale-up to commercial production, all with minimal waste and maximum control.
Lowest throughput (with low drug load < 1%)
Equipment from clinical to commercial scale: The standalone blender reduces time-to-patient
Usability: fast changeover during development
Simple to start. Easy to master. See how simplicity meets performance and watch our Mini Blender in action.
COMPACT POWERHOUSE
Pharma continuous blender
The Gericke Continuous Blender GCM delivers high-throughput, high-uniformity mixing in a compact, hygienic design. It handles challenging powders with ease—scaling from 1 kg/h to 1,000 kg/h without revalidation. Its lean footprint saves GMP space, while reducing energy use and product waste compared to traditional batch production.
- High throughput rates up to 1000 kg/h
- Signficantly decreases cost per tablet
Flexible integration with existing upstream and downstream equipment
PRECISE, CLEAN AND SCALABLE
Pharma feeders
From micro-dosing to full-scale production, Gericke feeders deliver accurate, consistent mass flow—thanks to advanced weighing systems and smart controls. With feed rates from 0.05 to 500 kg/h, they’re built for pharma flexibility, hygiene, and high containment. Whether batch or continuous, you get precision without the guesswork.
Scalable Accuracy: from 0.05 to 500 kg/h
WIP-capable & high containment suitable
Easy disassembly, quick cleaning and intuitive HMI
Real Time Quality Control
Pharma sampler and PAT
Working in a fully automated fashion, it is the only sampler on the market to assess the complete cross-sectional probe, providing a representative sample and a precise, reliable quality assurance.
