cGMP Process Equipment for Solid Dosage,
Liquid and Semi-Solid Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

Gansons has been manufacturing process equipment for the pharmaceutical industry since 1947. Today, more than 85% of our active installations operate in cGMP facilities regulated by the US-FDA, UK-MHRA, and European Medicines Agency (EMA) – making Gansons one of the most widely trusted pharmaceutical equipment manufacturers in the world.

cGMP Pharmaceutical Process Equipment. Designed for FDA, MHRA and EMA Regulated Facilities

We design and manufacture equipment for every critical unit operation in solid dosage form (OSD) manufacturing: from API blending and wet granulation through to drying, coating, particle sizing, and finished product powder transfer. Our equipment is engineered to minimise risk to product, personnel, and data — with hardware and automation architectures that support 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, GAMP 5, data integrity by design, and Pharma 4.0 integration.

Equipment for Every Stage of the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Process

Gansons supplies pharmaceutical process equipment across the full OSD workflow and beyond:

Solid Dosage Granulation

For pharmaceutical manufacturers requiring scalable, validated wet granulation — from laboratory scale through to commercial production. Gansons integrated granulation suites are used to produce high-volume, blockbuster generic molecules and are validated for use in US-FDA, UK-MHRA and EMA regulated facilities.

The SuperGran® and High Shear Mixer Granulator are the core of our granulation offering. The inONE® R&D system combines granulation, drying and particle sizing in a single compact unit — ideal for formulation development and scale-up.

Tablet Coating

The GansCoater® is the world’s most advanced automated tablet coating system – and the highest-selling automated coater to US-FDA, EMA and UK-MHRA regulated pharmaceutical companies globally. Available from laboratory scale through to 1,500L production coaters, The GansCoater® delivers consistent, validated coating results with full data integrity and minimal operator intervention. It is the most specified automated coater for both film coating and functional coating of oral solid dosage forms.

Mixing and Blending

Gansons mixing equipment for pharmaceutical applications includes the Nauta® conical screw mixer for gentle powder blending, the High Shear Mixer Granulator for wet granulation and dispersion, the SuperGran® for integrated granulation and mixing, and the Diffusion Blender for bin-to-bin tumble blending. For semi-solid pharmaceutical applications, our Planetary Mixer and Ointment Manufacturing Plant are used in the production of creams, ointments, and topical formulations.

Powder Transfer and Material Handling

Contained material movement is critical in GMP pharmaceutical manufacturing – particularly for potent APIs, high-cytotoxic compounds, and segregation-sensitive blends. Gansons powder transfer solutions include vacuum transfer systems for closed-loop powder movement, IBC bin blenders for contained blending, and lifting and positioning devices for safe drum and container handling within GMP environments.

Particle Sizing

Particle size distribution directly affects tablet compressibility, dissolution rate, and content uniformity. Gansons particle sizing equipment includes the Hanningfield Uni-Mill® conical mill for milling and de-agglomeration, the Kwik-Sift® centrifugal sifter, the Gansons Multimill for high-throughput size reduction, and vibratory sifters for classification. All solutions are available in containment configurations for high-potency API processing.

Cleaning Systems

Gansons Wash-In-Place (WIP) systems support rapid, validated cleaning of processing equipment without disassembly — reducing cleaning validation burden and operator exposure. Automated cleaning systems are available for granulators, fluid bed equipment, coaters, and powder transfer lines.
