PHARMACEUTICAL MACHINERY: STATE-OF-THE ART SOLUTIONS
From precise dosing and the use of the latest analytical and synthesis techniques to genetic laboratories, the production of modern medicines requires state-of-the-art technology and strictest quality standards. At every stage of production - from raw materials to packaging - the safety and efficacy of medicines must be guaranteed to protect patients.
Over the past decades, LÖDIGE has established itself worldwide as a partner for process machines and systems in the pharmaceutical market. High-quality machines, service from experienced staff, our own pharmaceutical Test Centre and a competitive price: this makes LÖDIGE a valuable partner in the pharmaceutical industry. Decades of close cooperation with well-known pharmaceutical manufacturers are proof of our expertise: we have supplied more than 1000 machines and systems for pharmaceuticals.
CHALLENGES IN THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY AND OUR RESPONSE
Pharmaceutical production is subject to the world's highest standards of safety, purity and reproducibility. The quality of our services guarantees compliance with these international standards. Within this context, our specific process know-how in mixing, granulation, drying and coating systems forms the basis for innovative system solutions in the pharmaceutical industry.
Customised machine and system design is just as important to us as strict compliance with GMP and FDA regulations.

LÖDIGE-MACHINES FOR THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY
LÖDIGE is specialized in machinery for the pharmaceutical industry - with a comprehensive range of mixing, granulation and drying systems, tablet coaters and much more. We manufacture machines and systems on both a production and laboratory scale. An overview of each machine can be found below:
Fluid bed dryer LCF for continuous operation
- Lödige has years of expertise in continuous granulation. Nowadays, continuous ringlayer mixers are established systems for continuous granulation in many industries.
- However, until now the Lödige product range was missing a suitable dryer. The continuous fluid bed dryer closes this gap. Together with the ringlayer mixer CoriMix® and the customer-specific dosing system, this dryer provides a complete continuous granulation line: GRANUCON®.
- Dryer operation is based on the fluid bed process. A general disadvantage of continuous fluid beds is the wide retention time distribution within the machine. Lödige’s developers have looked into this problem and have found a solution: integrating a screw in the fluid bed dryer. This has a limiting effect on the retention time distribution.
LÖDIGE Coater LC
- Filling level variability without drum replacement
- The extremely low height of the mixing elements permits a high degree of filling level variability.
- Even application and short process times
- The high number of mixing elements and nozzles ensures ideal distribution and leads to low variance in the evenness of application.
- High-speed = Time is money
- The even air distribution throughout the entire drum length ensures that the drying effectiveness is high and permits high spray rates.
- Optimised air routing: A quality improvement
- This air routing prevents spray drying, increases service life for campaign production and reduces the cleaning workload.
- Simple cleaning
- A sophisticated cleaning system and its great mechanical effect make cleaning quick and efficient. This saves time, cleaning agents and energy.

MIXING, GRANULATION, DRYING AND COATING IN THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY
LÖDIGE Mixing Granulators are an important part of the granulation lines of well-known German and international pharmaceutical manufacturers.
As one of the few suppliers to the pharmaceutical industry, we have a large number of feferences for continuous systems for the production of mixes and granules for solid dosage forms. We use continuous systems for direct compression and wet granulation for example.
Our LÖDIGE Coater sets new standards in terms of coating speed, efficiency and fill level variability. All our pharmaceutical machines can be equipped optionally with WIP/CIP systems.
GRANUCON® LINE FOR THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY
The GRANUCON® is a complete, continuous production line - from the powder to the finished granules.
