STEER World, a global leader in advanced materials processing, has partnered with Swiss-based Gericke to introduce a cutting-edge continuous granulation system for pharmaceutical manufacturers. This collaboration aims to enhance the production of oral solid dosage (OSD) forms by offering a seamless, end-to-end process.

Pharmaceutical companies increasingly seek efficient, automated granulation solutions that provide consistent granule quality, reduce manual intervention, lower analytical costs, and minimize energy consumption. Traditional batch processing methods often fall short in these areas, making continuous granulation a more viable and sustainable alternative.

Gericke brings its expertise in system integration, feeding systems, granulation, and downstream blending, while STEER World’s patented Integraal technology ensures superior granule quality. This synergy promises to set new industry standards, enhancing efficiency and reliability in pharmaceutical granulation.

The collaboration will cater to a range of throughput requirements and products suitable for Integraal technology, benefiting both the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors.

Rajesh Srinivasan, CDO of STEER World, highlighted that this alliance would drive efficiency, sustainability, and product quality, marking a breakthrough in continuous granulation. Berhnard Meir, Head of Continuous Manufacturing (Pharma) at Gericke, emphasized that the partnership is a game-changer, providing manufacturers with scalable, innovative solutions aligned with evolving industry needs.
