Gerteis showcases Mini-Pactor® and Polygran® at Interpack 2017

Jona, Switzerland: – Internationally respected dry granulation experts Gerteis are headed back to the big Interpack trade fair in Dusseldorf to show new solutions, including new technology for its renowned Mini-Pactor®, Macro-Pactor® and Polygran® roller compactors.

The Gerteis display at booth E04 in Hall 16 at the Dusseldorf Exhibition Center will stage on demand live demonstrations of its latest generation Macro-Pactor®, as well as the all new Mini-Pactor® featuring various technology upgrades, including new HMI package and PLC-based redesign.

High containment solutions

Designed primarily for R&D use, these machines feature sophisticated capabilities for small-scale continuous production under high containment, using constant ribbon measurement with highly reduced uncompacted fines.

The Gerteis stand will also feature representation from UK-based S3 Process, who will debut its latest product, the hi-tech PuroVaso total isolation pharmaceutical container.

Gerteis President and CEO Paul Gerteis will be on stand for the last three days of the show, Monday May 8 to Wednesday May 10.

30th anniversary

“Interpack is a key show for Gerteis and one we regularly attend,” said Hartmut vom Bey, Gerteis VP for Sales &Technology.

“This is a great opportunity to extend relationships and deepen partnerships with our customer base of research and process scientists and technical decision makers among pharma companies, CROs and CMOs who are looking for the most efficient and reliable dry granulation and compaction technology,” said Mr. vom Bey.

“This is also a great chance to say thank you to our loyal customers in this our 30th Anniversary Year,” added Hartmut vom Bey.
