National Manufacturing Week Spotlight: How PerMix Helped Gemini Pharmaceuticals Eliminate Dust & Pathogen Risks

When Gemini Pharmaceuticals called PerMix, they weren’t just looking for another mixer. They were facing real challenges that go straight to the heart of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical production: maintaining absolute cleanliness, preventing airborne contamination, and eliminating dust exposure. In an industry where quality and safety standards leave no room for compromise, their team needed a solution that was both robust and reliable.

The Challenge: Safe Ingredient Handling in a Critical Environment

Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturing isn’t just about blending ingredients—it’s about protecting them. Gemini needed a system that could:

• Allow multiple ingredients to be added without exposing the batch to external contaminants.
• Prevent fine dust particles from escaping into the work environment, which can be both a health risk for operators and a quality risk for the final product.
• Ensure that once blended, the discharge process would be sealed, sanitary, and contamination-free.

These are challenges faced by countless manufacturers across the industry, especially as regulations tighten and customer expectations rise.

The PerMix Solution: Sealed Ingredient Batch System & Discharge

PerMix responded with a sealed ingredient batch system and discharge design tailored to Gemini’s needs. This system allows ingredients to be introduced and discharged in a completely enclosed environment. The results:

• Dust-Free Operation – No airborne particles escape during ingredient addition or discharge, protecting both product integrity and operator safety.
• Pathogen Barrier – The sealed system prevents the possibility of airborne pathogens entering the batch, a critical safeguard for pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals.
• Efficient Throughput – By streamlining loading and discharge while maintaining a closed system, Gemini gained both speed and compliance.

Engineering Innovation Meets Manufacturing Purpose

PerMix’s engineering team understands that in pharma and nutraceutical production, mixing equipment is more than just machines—it’s a safeguard for public health. By addressing Gemini’s challenges with precision engineering and a purpose-driven mindset, PerMix enabled them to scale production while staying ahead of regulatory and safety standards.
