Vacuum Drum Filler

Part of 3P innovation’s Discover Range, our Vacuum Drum Filler offers flexible lab-scale powder filling for inhalation powders and devices, designed to fit on your benchtop.

Capable of dosing into blister strips, DPIs, vials, cartridges, syringes, devices, capsules; this system uses a vacuum to pull powder into the drum cavity and then uses compressed air to blow it into the desired product. This is the ideal product to support early-stage product development and assess your critical quality attributes (CQAs).

Benefits

  • Customisable stirrer designs can cater for different powder properties 
  • Cost-competitive solution handles up to 20 doses per minute
  • Self contained unit: which only requires compressed air and electricity to run
  • Scalability: the Vacuum Drum Filler can be scaled to support manufacture from clinical supply through to commercial production.
