Our continuous pharmaceutical production unit QbCon® includes all necessary unit operations to convert raw powdered materials to a tablet with the desired coating on it. Continuous feeding, blending, different granulation techniques, transport steps, tableting as well as tablet coating are included in one line with an integrated control concept. The integration of PAT-tools, such as near-infrared (NIR) or Raman spectroscopy facilitates the in-line monitoring of critical quality attributes of intermediates and the final dosage form and enables the integration of closed-loop control algorithms to increase the quality of the desired product and to result in a new generation of pharmaceutical production.

Depending on the characteristics of the starting material and the desired properties of the finished dosage form, the continuous production line QbCon® allows to choose between direct compression, dry granulation and wet granulation.
