inONE® - 13-in-1 R&D Lab Equipment for Pharmaceutical Development
inONE® is compact R&D lab equipment that brings 13 pharmaceutical processes into one modular unit, including tablet coating, wet granulation, fluid bed drying, milling, sifting and blending. Built for formulation scientists, it handles trial batches from 40 g to 5 kg, so you can develop powders, granules and solid dosage forms with less material, less floor space and a clear path to scale-up.
What Is inONE® Lab Equipment?
Pharmaceutical R&D labs usually need separate machines for coating, granulation, drying, milling, sifting, and blending. Each one takes up space, needs its own qualification, and uses more API in trials. inONE® R&D lab equipment replaces that setup with a single central drive and interchangeable process modules. Scientists switch from granulating to drying to coating on one platform, using the same control system and data records. The result is faster formulation development, lower API consumption, and results that scale reliably to pilot and production equipment.
Lab-Scale Tablet Coating - GansCoater®
Geared to handle lots of 50g to 5kg. Featuring the R-mini nozzle, the laboratory-scale of Gansons proprietary GHPN IIIRD nozzle, Gansons OEM peristaltic pump, Gansons proprietary baffles and signature smooth, perforated pan.
R&D Wet Granulation – High Shear Mixer Granulator
Lab Fluid Bed Drying with Cyklon® Air Distribution
The Gansons Fluid Bed Dryer comes powered with the global cutting edge in drying technology – Cyklon® Air Distributor System. The concentric rings with air-guiding channels on their underside provide a horizontal, spiral motion to the inlet drying air. The substrate is gently fluidized into a cyclonic pattern. This motion yields the following results:
- Drying at a fraction of the time compared to standard perforated air distributor plates: maximum drying efficiency
- Top, Bottom and tangential Spray Systems offered
- Less inter-particle attrition means less granule breakage
R&D Milling – Hanningfield Uni-Mill®
A simple and versatile system integrated with the Gansons inONE® for particle sizing. The particle sizing Hanningfield Uni-Mill® has a gearbox-driven impeller, rotating inside a conical screen. This principle achieves comminution primarily by compression and shearing of the particles between the impeller and surface of the screen. The detachable mill head can be autoclaved or interchanged with the sifter head for sizing.
Lab Sifting – Hanningfield Kwik-Sift®
The gentle centrifugal sifting rapidly separates undersized and oversized particles. The effective sifting action can separate extraneous material as fine as a human hair strand! The spoiler arm also gently delumps cohesive powders.
R&D Powder Blending – Interchangeable Blenders
The Gansons dry powder blending machine range is designed for efficient diffusion blending of pharmaceutical materials in a fully contained, totally dust-free system. The geometry of the blenders has been optimized based on the angles of repose of the most widely used excipients in pharmaceutical industry. Four blender types can be interchangeably used on the central drive. The customer may specify the types of blenders provided: V-Blender, Double-Cone Blender, Bin Blender, Octagonal Blender.
Other Features
- In-built Air Handling Unit
- Isolator Compatible: Suitable for oncological and hormonal products.
- Safety: Appropriate precautions have been taken to ensure the Gansons inONE® is safe to use over long, continual operation. Several safety interlocks have been put in place to mitigate risk to the operator and product with the help of limit switches, sensors, and intelligent software.
- Uniform drying for sharper end point detection
