The mixing area comprises one or more mixing tanks used for dissolving, dispersing, or mixing active ingredients or excipients. These tanks are designed for hygienic process conditions in accordance with pharmaceutical requirements – e.g., high surface quality up to e-polishing surface finishes, and comprehensive liquid media introduction via pipelines using spray balls. Subsequently, liquid and/or solid additives are conveyed to the main processing area via an integrated lifting system (lifting column). The lifting system, equipped with chemical- and pressure-resistant pumps and collection tanks, ensures pumping capability even without a gradient.
The combination of mixing tanks and a lifting system allows for seamless integration into the automation and control architecture, including level monitoring, pump control, batch preparation, and transfer to the recipe, mixing, or dosing station. The automation of the lifting system is fully integrated into the control of the mixing tank, as is the recipe management system.
