FAQs

What is a Conta Blender?
A Conta Blender is a pharmaceutical blending machine used to mix dry powders and granules within a container (bin or IBC – Intermediate Bulk Container). The blending is achieved through tumbling action, and the same container is used for storage, transport, and blending, minimizing material handling.
What are the key applications of a Conta Blender?
Homogenizing dry powders or granules Blending API and excipients Pre- or post-granulation blending Batch integrity and containment in cleanroom operations
What are the main components of a Conta Blender?
Blending arm or rotating cage Clamp or locking system for bin fixation Drive system (motor + gearbox) Control panel (HMI/PLC with safety interlocks) Bin/IBC with butterfly valve or split valve Optional bin lifting/tipping mechanism
What are the advantages of using a Conta Blender?
Dust-free operation (closed system) Reduced material handling Batch traceability and cross-contamination prevention No product transfer = less segregation Compliant with cGMP and cleanroom designs
What is the typical bin/blender size range?
Conta blenders are available in a wide capacity range: Lab scale: 5–25 L Pilot scale: 50–200 L Production scale: 300–1200+ L Bins are usually interchangeable for different batch sizes.
What materials are used in construction?
Blender structure: SS 304 or SS 316 Product contact parts (bins): SS 316L with mirror finish (Ra ≤ 0.5 µm) Gaskets: FDA-grade silicone or EPDM Wheels and locks: Polyurethane or stainless steel for cleanroom use
How does the blending process work?
The bin is loaded and sealed with product inside It is clamped to the rotating cage/frame The blender rotates the bin (typically 0–25 RPM) for a preset number of revolutions Mixing is completed without product exposure
What control and automation features are available?
PLC + HMI control panel Batch recording and recipe management 21 CFR Part 11 compliance (optional) RPM, time, and rotation direction settings Safety interlocks and emergency stop
How is cleaning done for Conta Blenders?
Bins are usually cleaned separately (manual, COP, or WIP) External surfaces of the blender can be wiped down Bin washing stations or CIP/WIP options are available for large-scale systems
What validation is required for a Conta Blender?
Design Qualification (DQ) Installation Qualification (IQ) Operational Qualification (OQ) Performance Qualification (PQ) Blend uniformity testing (using samples from various bin zones) Cleaning validation for changeover batches
What safety features are included?
Bin detection and locking interlock Door safety sensors Overload and emergency stop features Slow start/stop to prevent material separation Explosion-proof versions (if handling volatile powders)
What standards and guidelines does it comply with?
cGMP and FDA guidelines 21 CFR Part 11 (for electronic records) EU Annex 11 (equipment validation) ISPE Good Practice Guides ASME and CE certifications (depending on supplier)
