LYnfinity Genesis Episode #3

Related to a wet granulation requirement, Savio Industrial needed a user-friendly, compact pharma washing machine providing rapid washing cycles to help plant production times. HYDROWASH made planning simple and reliable.

Reliability was Farmak’s main concern ensuring effective washing. Their two ATLANTIS washing stations run 24/7 and handle bins up to 300 litres. A highly effective solution.

Bayer chose the ATLANTIS washing station for machinery components for its plant running full capacity in Argentina. Their 3 machines ensure consistently excellent results and need very little maintenance or spares.

FMC was looking for a problem-free solution to wash a broad selection of bin and machine components. ATLANTIS went beyond their expectations in terms of washing and drying efficiency, cycle times and flexibility.

Especially since the planet is faced with a pandemic, freeze drying has come under a lot of attention. Efficiency, simple supply chains, a need for large volumes are factors that have driven the development of technologies such as those of our LYnfinity spray freeze-drying solution. One issue we need to re-think was the heat and mass transfer. Many technological innovations are born thanks to a strange intuition, a sort of Eureka moment and this is what happened when we realised it would work by freezing the drug as a pellet and drying it without a container, improving heat and mass transfer, ultimately resulting in reduced drying time.
Discover how we came upon the idea for the spray freeze drying procedure in this video.

Developing a revolutionary freeze-drying technology always requires some form of lateral thinking. One challenge was to find a way of making the freeze-dried product compatible with a variety of containers. Typically, freeze-dried products were handled in vials or on bulk trays limiting the use of alternate emerging containers. The intuition our LAB4Life team had in Tonawanda at the IMA Life North America facilities turned the issue on its head and adapted the product form to any container.
