Dry blending is a vital step in the production of pharmaceutical drugs. These substances are usually powders but may also be in the form of granules. The active pharmaceutical ingredient or API is blended with a non-active ingredient known as an excipient to produce tablets. The excipients can serve different purposes; for example, they can serve as carriers for the active ingredient.

Whether you need drum manipulation equipment, container lifts or want to design a fully customized blending system from the ground up, you need a team of experts you can count on every step of the way. METO Systems provides everything you need for any size project. This is why we have earned an exceptional reputation in the markets we serve.

Drum Inverters are used in the pharmaceutical, nutritional, and fine chemical manufacturing industries to transfer powders, pellets, and tablets from drums to downstream processes. Unlike dumping devices, the inverter provides for a closed and controlled material transfer. 

Mini utility lifts or portable lifting trollies are an economical alternative to larger, more expensive lifts. They can lift heavy things and effortlessly transport them, eliminating many of the most hazardous elements associated with manual handling.

Downtime due to equipment failure is one of the biggest headaches manufacturing plants cannot afford. The loss of just one piece of equipment can halt an entire production line and lead to product loss and revenue loss.

Powder flow problems can cause frustration and create backups resulting in expensive downtime and the production of substandard products. Powders can act like solids and liquids and lead to product flow issues. Flow issues can result from a product’s handling, storage, and uniform processing, including too much or insufficient blending.

The current state of the supply chain has caused consumers and business buyers to consider whether to wait for what they want to become available or settle for a product that is below their usual standard. If, for example, you are in the market for a new car, you have probably experienced this firsthand.

Blending is a critical process in many industries, including food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and chemical, to name a few. It comes with the risk of inconsistency, cross-contamination, product exposure, and loss but METO Systems brings you a range of efficient stainless-steel blenders that ensure the process occurs quickly, safely, and hygienically.  

Drum Dumpers and Tippers are ideal for charging coaters; filling hoppers, reactors, and other process vessels; dispensing applications; and discharging powders, granules, pellets, and tablets.

Tippers position the drum downward, allowing the product to be easily discharged through a bung in the head of the drum.
