Continuous Manufacturing / MODCOS
Modular continuous process technology for maximum efficiency, flexibility and product quality
Maximum flexibility through variability
MODCOS – Direct Compression
Precise dosing, stable process control, reproducible quality through continuous direct pressing
MODCOS offers flexible and customized solutions for continuous direct compression. The various powder components are fed continuously and with high precision via gravimetric multi-ingredient dosing. The system automatically adjusts its hold-up to the respective throughput, ensuring that residence times remain stable and the process is optimally controlled.
Thanks to loss-in-weight dosing technology, the solid material flows are reliably controlled. In combination with Process Analytical Technology (PAT), the amount of material fed remains constant – process stability and reproducibility of product quality are guaranteed at all times.
The integration of downstream process steps such as tableting or capsule filling is carried out directly by Glatt in accordance with customer specifications. This creates a fully connected, continuous production line – from raw material dosing to the finished product.
Performance range: from 5 kg/h to 1,000 kg/h, scalable to individual production requirements.
Why choose MODCOS direct compression?
MODCOS – Wet Granulation
Scalable technology for development, piloting, and production
The MODCOS xs-, s-, and m-line systems are specifically designed for continuous wet granulation with subsequent drying. They are ideal for formulation development, feasibility studies, and early-stage process evaluation – from powder to reproducible granules. Manual control enables flexible testing and precise definition of process parameters.
Thanks to robust scale‑up strategies, process parameters defined during development can be seamlessly transferred to larger MODCOS production lines. Modular process units allow targeted adaptation to formulation requirements and production goals – from R&D to commercial continuous manufacturing.
Minimal conversion effort, maximum economic benefit
Within the MODCOS concept, existing GPCG batch granulators can be efficiently integrated into a continuous process chain. This modular integration approach significantly reduces investment costs and enables a gradual transition to state‑of‑the‑art continuous manufacturing technology – without replacing existing equipment.
