Pharmaceutical formulation

Small and large volume parenteral drug product formulation

In pharmaceutical formulation, where the equipment functionality required is highly dependent on the drug product type, modularization is proving a decisive design advantage to help meet the need for both process flexibility and exceedingly short delivery times. Syntegon’s SVP and LVP modular solutions for batch sizes ranging from 13-20,000 liters are suitable for the GMP manufacture of small volume parenterals (SVP), large volume parenterals (LVP), infusion products (IV), as well as buffer and media preparations. We offer a full range of process vessels and their automation as well as all associated peripherals including media supply, CIP/SIP systems, and the filling line interface.

Our SVP/LVP process systems are highly modular and flexible solutions for the production of liquid pharmaceuticals. Where desirable, they feature a prefabricated integrated cleanroom design with all peripheral technology outside the cleanroom in technical skids. The production area itself can also be separated and run under different room classifications as required by the application. We provide the highest degree of flexibility in both the layout of your room concept and the configuration of the production units themselves.

Benefits

fully standardized platform based on off-the-shelf functional modules for unparalleled flexibility and convenience
pre-fabricated with a pre-tested modular building set for substantial cost savings and accelerated delivery
fully integrated and automated solution
optional integrated interface to filling with shared CIP/SIP for streamlined delivery and additional savings
designed in cooperation with customers for user friendliness and ease of maintenance

Our industrial designers and engineers have developed the SVP/LVP process system in close cooperation with our customers with a clear common objective: achieving the greatest possible flexibility with maximal ease of operation. The result is a modular, highly flexible system. We use pre-tested functional modules to configure each customer’s individual solution. Syntegon and the customer jointly define the shape, volume, and functionality of the fixed or mobile containers, which allows us to deliver exactly the preparation system the customer needs for his products. Over 70 pre-tested functional modules are available to process batch sizes from 13 to 20,000 liters, offering unique versatility and convenience.

Benefits

maximum flexibility and ease of installation
full range of unit operations and process control
modular building set with short delivery times
particularly user-friendly and easy to maintain
full range of qualification and start-up support services available

We offer multiple options for substance addition. You can feed APIs and excipients either manually or, when handling larger amounts or critical substances, through vacuum conveyors, liquid dosing stations, or containment solutions for sterile or toxic substances. A full range of dry and liquid materials alike can be seamlessly added to all the processing vessels. Regardless of the selected options, we deliver all solutions with an “out of the box” approach.

Benefits

complete functionality for the intended range of products
all functional modules are controlled by the same automation system

Solutions, suspensions, and emulsions alike, all require the right approach to mixing and homogenizing the preparation to provide the necessary product quality. The SVP/LVP offers a wide range of options including low and high shear mixers, high performance homogenizers and emulsifiers, as well as vibration mixers. Is bioburden reduction, sterile filtration, or aseptic processing required? Also not a problem with the SVP/LVP. Our integrated sterile filter stations come in a wide range of sizes, all optimized to minimize product loss.

Why a modular approach?

Our modular formulation system concept

Our drug formulation systems are fully standardized platforms based on off-the-shelf functional modules. Where desirable, they feature a prefabricated integrated cleanroom design with all peripheral technology outside the cleanroom in technical skids. The production area itself can also be separated, and run under different room classifications as required by the application. Our pharmaceutical formulation solutions provide the highest degree of flexibility in both the layout of your room concept and the configuration of the production units themselves. We jointly define the shape, volume, and functionality of the fixed and mobile containers to deliver exactly the preparation system you need for your drug products. Over 70 pre-tested functional modules are available to process batch sizes from 13 to 20,000 liters, offering unparalleled flexibility and convenience.

From mobile homogenizers to integrated CIP/SIP modules, a full range of options for pharmaceuticals formulations are available. For example, the prefabricated integrated cleanroom design can even include the laminar flow and lighting units. And since the safety of operators and products comes first, we can meet complex requirements such as aseptic processing or the handling of toxic substances simply by adding the appropriate functional modules.

Our automation architecture, which is structured according to ISA-88, is one of the foundations of our modularization concept. Mechanics, electronics, and software merge into intelligent mechatronic modules in our systems. Your individual recipes can be implemented in three different ways on the SVP/LVP process system: program, production, and batch management sequences. The result is unparalleled flexibility in production monitoring and control. We thrive defining trends and driving digital production in drug formulation. The modularity of the Syntegon formulation platform, and the flexibility it provides, makes for a highly compelling solution for a full range of clinical to commercial liquid pharmaceuticals formulations applications. The system is, truly, “the perfect match for every batch."

Key features of an effective modular formulation solution:

fully standardized platform based on off-the-shelf, pre-tested functional modules
joint configuration selection for the right functionality and ease of operation
all functional modules are controlled by the same automation system
mechanics, electronics, and software merge into intelligent mechatronic modules
line integration interfaces incl. pipe routing and material flow with coordinated processes and adapted alarm functions

LVP system

The LVP process system uses Syntegon standards to deliver highly customized solutions for the production of large volume parenterals (LVP), infusion products (IV), as well as buffer and media preparations. The liquid preparations are carried out in modular temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks with all the appropriate functionality to cover the full range of your product recipes. All LVP solutions follow the applicable compendial (e.g. USP, EP) as well as regulatory (e.g. DIN, ASME, GMP, and FDA/EMA) pharmaceutical manufacturing guidelines.

Cleaning and sterilization in place

Our CIP/SIP systems are designed for the purification and sterilization of pharmaceutical processing components, equipment, and systems. The internal or external CIP/SIP systems use PW, WFI, PS, and application-specific cleaning solutions with recirculation for the efficient use of the cleaning media. The smart system design guarantees simple self-purification with special dosage and heating/cooling systems providing a constant and consistent high purification quality.
