A Niro HC 600 plant for hard metals. By Allan Juel Pedersen A stainless steel object is being worked up on a lathe. Right beneath the white coolant is the cutting roll, utting into the steel.
Little brother standing on his own two feet Niro’s youngest division, the Pharma Division, became an independent part of GEA Pharma Systems on January 1, 2008. In 2007, GEA decided to create an independent Pharma Division (H-Division) within GEA. The division was established by transferring the former companies in Niro Pharma Systems from the P-Division in GEA into the newly established H-Division. With the establishment of the Pharma Division, it was natural to transfer Niro’s own Pharma Division. Niro’s Pharma Division is one of the newer Niro success stories. Not until the latter 1990s did pharmaceutical companies seriously start demanding spray drying plants for the drying of medicine. This new opportunity was clearly identified and led in 2000 to the establishment of a dedicated Pharma Division at Niro. During the last 10 years, the pharmaceutical industry has found it more and more difficult to find promising new drugs – the “easy” products have been found and are already on the market. In addition, the pressure on big pharmaceutical companies has been further increased, as patents on their main products expire and manufacturers of generic drugs are able to start production. The pharmaceutical industry spends vast amounts on research and development – typically between 10 and 30 percent of 56 | 57 their business. Unfortunately, the new drugs being discovered are predominantly very difficult to turn into commercial products. Typical problems are the dosage and resident time in the body necessary to obtain the desired effect. However, this is an area where we can use one of the big advantages of spray drying – for example by making a powder as fine as tobacco smoke for inhalation. The special demands on production plants for the pharmaceutical industry – partly from customers and partly from the authorities – also brought about the need for a dedicated line of spray dryers to meet those demands. Such a line was developed and designed in 2000/01 and is called the PHARMASD line. Establishment of test facility led to great success In 2001 it was decided to establish a test facility where it was possible to test the production of drugs. Niro wanted to enter into a partnership with the pharma industry regarding the development and testing of new drugs as well as meet the pharma industry’s need for studies in connection with the development of new drugs.
