Warehouses

Micronized and unmicronized products are stored in separated warehouses. The implemented stock control prevents confusion of dates. The QA-responsible makes sure, that only released material will be micronized.

Equipment

mcko uses for micronization mainly fluidized bed jet mills.

The Classifier Technology provides for high quality results:

• A classifier secures the desired particle size distribution.
• All components in touch with the product are made of stainless steel. Surface quality meets pharmaceutical requirements.
• The micronization cell isn't coated which avoids any electrostatic charging.
• Cleaning can be done easily.
• The equipment is fully qualified according to cGMP.
