All of our state-of-the-art Test Plants are equipped with full-scale Materials Handling equipment to replicate working conditions for Production-oriented interface testing. In the UK, Near-Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is used to prove homogeneity and determine correct recipe blend times, removing the need for invasive sampling. Allergen and ATP Swab testing is also available to prove cleaning capabilities. The test plants are used to prove: • Dispersal and homogeneity • Blending performance • Prevention of segregation on discharge • Accuracy and speed of dosing/packing performance • Levels of containment • Material flow and discharge capability • Cleaning capabilities for both wet wash and air wash • Gentle tablet handling • System interface/integration • Throughput and production capacity Locations: Evesham (UK) covers an area of 3,500 sq. ft. and offers full-scale equipment capabilities for formulation, blending, packing & cleaning.
