Planetary Centrifuge for Pharmaceutical Processing
Reproducible mixing for API blending, suspensions, and ointments
Pharmaceutical formulations fail QC when active ingredients are unevenly distributed or when bubbles compromise fill accuracy. The Spin Tech planetary centrifuge combines dual-axis motion with vacuum-capable operation to deliver reproducible, uniform batches — from bench-scale R and D through pilot production.
Sanitary-grade stainless cup inserts are compatible with clean-in-place workflows. Sealed operation keeps sterile and moisture-sensitive APIs stable through the mix cycle.
- • API suspension blending
- • Ointment and cream manufacturing
- • Topical gel homogenization
- • Powder-into-liquid API incorporation
- • Ophthalmic and injectable prep (non-sterile fill)
What Spin Tech delivers for pharma manufacturers
Reproducible batches
Documented, repeatable planetary motion delivers uniform particle distribution and API concentration across every batch — critical for QC release.
Sealed sanitary operation
Sanitary stainless construction and sealed cups keep sterile and moisture-sensitive formulations stable and cleanroom-compatible.
GMP-friendly workflow
Cup inserts drop in and out for rapid, documented changeovers. Compatible with cleaning validation and materials traceability procedures.
Built for R and D, pilot, and small-batch pharma production
Spin Tech planetary centrifuges are used by pharmaceutical manufacturers for formulation development and small-batch production. Common projects include:
- • API suspension and dispersion mixing
- • Semi-solid ointment and cream manufacturing
- • Topical gel and hydrogel homogenization
- • Powder-into-liquid dosing form development
- • Nasal, ophthalmic, and otic formulation blending
