Pharmaceutical Feeders
Hygenic Feeding & Dosing
Hygienic Material Handling in the Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical Industries
Trantec provides a wide range of solutions for feeding needs in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. Whether dosing APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredients), excipients, or other materials, Trantec’s pharmaceutical-grade feeders offer exceptional accuracy, precision, and performance for your production line. Our pharmaceutical feeders are designed with hygienic material handling in mind and engineered to meet the stringent standards of the pharmaceutical industry, ensuring reliable and consistent dosing for both batch dispensing and continuous processing while maintaining product integrity.
Accurate dosing of active ingredients
The feeder body geometry is carefully engineered to guide material into the auger without clogging or inconsistent flow. Combined with the agitator, this configuration ensures a uniform and reliable material flow into the auger evenly, preventing bridging, ratholing, or material compaction. This consistent filling leads to precise dosing, improving the accuracy of material delivery. It also ensures the delicate handling of materials, especially for fragile or sensitive substances that require gentle handling to preserve their integrity. Whether you’re working with active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), excipients, or other delicate materials, these feeders ensure that the correct amount of material is dispensed every time. This precise control is essential for meeting strict regulatory standards and maintaining consistent product quality across batches.
Crevice-Free, Easy-clean Design
Trantec Pharma-grade feeders feature a bright polished or mirror (0.2 Ra) finish depending on your application requirements, providing a high-quality, smooth surface that minimises material build-up. This finish is aesthetically pleasing and makes the equipment easy to clean and maintain, ensuring compliance with the highest hygiene standards essential in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Hygienic Premium or Mirror Polish Finish
The crevice-free design of our pharma-grade screw feeders ensures that there are no difficult-to-reach areas where material can accumulate. This smooth design facilitates quicker and more efficient cleaning and helps prevent cross-contamination between batches, making it ideal for environments that demand rigorous hygiene practices.
Materials of construction are FDA-compliant
Trantec Pharmaceutical Screw Feeders are designed to comply with FDA and EC guidelines and follow GMP, Good Manufacturing Practice standards, ensuring that the equipment meets the regulatory requirements for pharmaceutical production. The design and material choices support both safety and quality, allowing for safe and reliable use in pharmaceutical environments. All seals, gaskets and O-rings are manufactured from FDA-approved materials of construction.
Quick Release Feature
Our quick-release feature allows for fast and easy disassembly, reducing downtime during cleaning and maintenance. This feature makes routine servicing more convenient and efficient, which, in turn, improves overall production uptime. Dismantling of our screw feeder can be achieved in under three minuets, without the need for tools.
