Micro-dosing can play a critical role in helping pharma companies speed development of innovative products. But filling low doses of powders comes with challenges.

Fortunately, novel micro-dosing systems have entered the market that enhance the industry’s ability to fill low doses of powders down to a few mg or even less. This has enabled the industry to dose pure APIs without any usage of excipients, which is particularly important when only few grams of material are available to conduct clinical trials.

This Webinar Will Include:

• The benefits of micro-dosing and pure API fills
• Real-world examples based on a previously installed and validated MG2 Microdose system in a U.S. pharma plant, including a demonstration of the technology
• Findings from a recent study where ten commonly-used pharmaceutical powders — ranging from cohesive to free flowing — were filled at three target fill weights to investigate the effect of distinct powder properties on filling performance

Mr. Edoardo Bignardi, MG2’s Area Manager, explores the company’s pioneering techniques for accurately dosing powder and pellets into hard-shell capsules.

This presentation underscores the core principles and advantages of MG2’s solutions, focusing on two essential components:

• Powder Dosing Unit – Dosator Technology
• Pellets Dosing Unit – Gravimetric Dosage

Mr. Alessandro Recupero, MG2 Sales Department Manager, provides valuable insights into the dosing of tablets and micro-tablets into capsules. 

During the webinar, Mr. Recupero delves into several essential topics, including:

• Universal Tablets Feeding Unit
• Tablets Feeding Units (Type 2, Type 4, Type 1/s, and Type 5)
• Micro-tablets Counting Unit

Dr. Marco Bellentani, MG2 Processing Division Product Manager, talks about weight control systems available on MG2 capsule filling machines, both from statistical to 100% weight and from R&D to full scale production. 

The webinar will cover:

• SWC statistical weight control system
• Pre-weighing control system
• NETT 100% net weight control system
• MultiNETT 100% net weight Control System
• How to select the right-sized solution based on specific requirements

Fabrizio Buffoni, MG2’s Area Manager, delves into the intricacies of dosing multiple products into capsules. This presentation underscores the essential principles and advantages of this innovative approach.

The webinar revolves around the capabilities of capsule filling machines to facilitate product combinations through their modularity and flexibility. 

The key highlights of the webinar include:

• Dosing Multiple Products
• Modularity and Flexibility

Dr. Marco Bellentani, MG2’s Product Manager, offers a comprehensive overview of containment issues in the pharmaceutical industry and the innovative solutions provided by MG2. With the pharmaceutical sector moving towards the use of higher concentrations of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) and formulations that often consist of pure API filled into capsules, the dosages become smaller, potentially increasing the risk of powder toxicity.

As a result, the safety of personnel working on capsule filling machines becomes paramount. This webinar sheds light on the importance of containment and cleaning solutions, which are instrumental in ensuring the well-being of the workforce and the integrity of the pharmaceutical manufacturing process.

Key highlights of the webinar include:

• Changing Pharmaceutical Landscape
• Increased Personnel Protection

Mr. Alberto Mercandelli, MG2 Inhalation Solutions Product Manager, provides an in-depth overview of MG2’s cutting-edge technology designed for powder low-dosage applications. This technology holds great significance in the realm of inhalation solutions, offering innovative solutions for the pharmaceutical industry.

Alberto begins the discussion by emphasizing the critical importance of the lungs in our body, as they play a pivotal role in our survival. When we inhale, particularly through the alveoli, we can efficiently absorb various substances, including medications, without necessitating the involvement of other organs. This unique attribute of the lungs makes inhalation solutions a promising and vital avenue for drug delivery.

Key highlights of the webinar include:

• Low-Dosage Active Ingredient Products (API
• Powder for Inhalation Applications

Vittorio Calzolari, MG2’s Technical Support Service Department Manager, addresses the fundamental role of service and technical support in the lifecycle of industrial machinery.
