GERTEIS® Brings 40 Years of Roller Compaction Expertise to PMEC India 2026

Jona, Switzerland – Forty years after it was founded, GERTEIS® Maschinen + Processengineering AG returns to PMEC India with a clear message for oral solid dose (OSD) manufacturers: high-performance dry granulation does not have to mean complex maintenance or lost production time.

PMEC India 2026, the machinery and technology side of CPHI & PMEC India, takes place November 24–26 at the India Expo Centre & Mart (IEML) in Greater Noida, near Delhi. GERTEIS® will be at Stand 9A23 with Uventis Bioscience, its agent in India.

POLYGRAN® Live on Stand

The centerpiece of our stand is the GERTEIS® POLYGRAN® roller compactor, featuring live demonstrations at the booth. The machine showcases the core strengths of Gerteis roller compaction: a free-floating roller gap combined with in-process force control ensures constant ribbon density, while our patented feed design handles poorly flowing powders and a specialized compressing system minimize fines. To maximize productivity, a simplified parts design reduces complexity, making routine maintenance truly effortless and minimizing downtime.

From R&D to High Containment

The team will also discuss the wider GERTEIS® range, with linear scale-up from R&D to full-scale production:

• MINI-POLYGRAN® – small-batch and pilot-scale applications.
• MINI-PACTOR® – laboratory development to small batches, from 10 g per trial up to 100 kg/h.
• MACRO-PACTOR® – the GERTEIS® flagship for full-scale production, at up to 400 kg/h.
• ULTRA-PACTOR® – high containment for highly potent compounds such as oncology drugs, with a custom isolator design achieving <0.1 μg/m³ (TWA/8h) (OEB 5).

Meet the Experts

Vice President Sales & Technology Hartmut vom Bey will lead the GERTEIS® team, supported by Sales Engineer Ralph Böniger, with Uventis Bioscience President Mr. Sundaram and Sales Engineer Mr. Dwarakanath.

Hartmut vom Bey commented:

“After 40 years focused purely on roller compaction, we are proud to bring the POLYGRAN® to PMEC India – a machine that makes routine maintenance effortless and keeps production running. We look forward to meeting visitors at Stand 9A23.”

Alongside the live demonstrations, the team will give presentations at the booth and looks forward to meeting both existing customers and new contacts.
