How to Contain a Roller Compactor: A Practical Guide from OEB 3 to OEB 5 | MHS PharmaApr 19, 2026

The roller compactor itself is closed. The exposure happens at the transfer points. Feed hopper. Discharge mill. Those are the two moments airborne particulate is generated on a roller compaction line. The containment strategy changes with the compound. OEB 3 is a standard Gerteis PACTOR. OEB 4 is the Macro-Pactor C or Advanced OEL Design. OEB 5 is the Ultra-Pactor with an integrated isolator. What stays constant across every tier: ChargePoint PharmaSafe split butterfly valves at both transfer points. Full breakdown on our insights page. …

Russell Finex improved powder sieving for a leading pharmaceutical manufacturer - Trends

Russell Finex case study: Alaron, a 20-year GMP contract manufacturer in New Zealand handling supplements and skincare. They've standardized on the Compact Sieve — four units in service, a fifth on order, plus two Mini Sifters for smaller batches. Doubled throughput is the headline, but for a contract manufacturer running multiple products on shared equipment, the easier-cleaning angle is what makes that throughput stick. Changeover time is throughput when you're running ten products instead of one.

Significant small-scale milling trials for dry granulation - Pharmaceutical Technology

One of the real challenges in early dry granulation development is that small lab mills don't replicate the milling principle of production-scale roller compactors, the particle size distributions you get during development don't always translate when you scale up. Gerteis has bridged the gap between the compaction simulator and the Pactor series with their Small Scale Mill: a manually operated tool that inherits the same milling principle as the PACTOR® production line. With capacity to run as small as 5g, it's ideal for early-stage work when …
