Because of the different ingredients, very flexible and powerful mixers and homogenisers are used in the production of dietary supplements. Most agitation and homogenising mixers can be equipped with different rotor/stator combinations depending on the product.
Versatile processes
High-shear homogenisers can process almost all pharmaceutical suspensions and emulsions of different viscosities. Depending on the type of dietary supplement, homogenisers can homogenise, disperse, suspend or pump.
Gentle processing of sensitive ingredients
Protecting fragile cell cultures and consistent quality assurance are key prerequisites for high-quality dietary supplements. After all, some of the ingredients are very sensitive.
Thanks to variable speed control and individually adjustable shear rates, modern homogenisers process vitamins as well as bio and cell cultures particularly gently. This produces products with the finest consistency – even without high-pressure homogenisers.
Hygiene and GMP
- CIP cleaning process and SIP-capable machine design to comply with all hygiene regulations
- rotating CIP cleaning system, usually installed stationary in the lid
- GMP-compliant mixing vessel design without dead spaces during the CIP process
- product-contact parts manufactured specifically for the GMP-validated environment
FAQ: Producing dietary supplements
Which mixers are suitable for dietary supplements?
Flexible agitator and homogenising mixers with interchangeable rotor-stator combinations. They homogenise, disperse, suspend and pump liquid to pasty products.
How are sensitive vitamins and cultures protected?
Through variable speed, adjustable shear, temperature control and processing under vacuum or inert gas to minimise heat and oxidation stress.
Is a high-pressure homogeniser required?
Not necessarily. Modern rotor-stator homogenisers already achieve very fine droplet and particle sizes for many emulsions and suspensions.
Which hygiene requirements apply?
GMP or food-grade design without dead spaces, stainless steel product-contact parts, CIP cleaning and SIP capability.
Does SEEFRIED offer plants for dietary supplements?
Yes, SEEFRIED Verfahrenstechnik plans process plants and supplies inspected used homogenising mixers.
