Auger dosing unit for powder dosing in pharmaceuticals
Ensure precise and flexible dosing of pharmaceutical powders with this advanced auger unit, ideal for lab and batch operations where accuracy in filling and sampling is critical.
The SDM Auger Dosing Unit from Harro Höfliger is a versatile solution for precise pharmaceutical powder dosing and filling. This semi-automatic unit stands out with its use of servo technology, providing variable adjustment of dosing ranges, essential for applications like antibiotic capsules and inhalation drug cartridges. It efficiently handles dosing volumes from approximately 20 mm³ to 1000 mm³, accommodating particle sizes from 1 µm onwards. With its modular design, the SDM can operate as a standalone unit or integrate into existing production lines, making it ideal for R&D labs and batch processing environments. Optional features include a gravimetric “fill-to-weight” system for exact dosage control, sterilizable parts for contamination prevention, and an integrated ionization dust extraction system to enhance safety and cleanliness. Constructed with durable materials suitable for pharmaceutical environments, the SDM meets rigorous GMP standards, ensuring compliance with industry regulations.
