The DryPod is engineered to protect highly moisture-sensitive drug molecules. DryPod™ is built using a proprietary lamination-based approach, enabling consistent performance across all standard blister-forming technologies. This eliminates the need for specialized retrofits or process changes and gives manufacturers complete flexibility to run DryPod™ on their existing blister lines. The laminate can also be sealed with any PE-sealable lidding foil, reducing procurement dependencies and ensuring supply-chain agility across global operations.
A significant differentiator for DryPod™ is its patent-clean design. Engineered with zero overlap with existing active patents in the desiccant co-extrusion space, DryPod™ offers pharmaceutical companies complete legal clarity and peace of mind when switching suppliers, scaling production, or expanding into new markets. This removes a longstanding barrier for companies seeking secure, long-term, and globally compliant moisture-protection solutions.

Company manufactures a wide range of impellers for industrial mixing and high-shear dispersion and provides the engineering assistance to assist customers with selection and sizing. INDCO impeller designs for both low viscosity and high viscosity liquids are available and include marine style propellers and axial flow turbines, respectively. Processes that require a flow pattern radially outward from the mixing shaft require a radial flow impeller. For applications like fermentation or other sparging applications where gases are introduced into an aggressively agitated vessel, a special type of radial flow impeller called a Rushton Turbine is commonly selected. Marine style impellers work well for free-flowing materials and are available in square (1:1) or steep (1:1.5) blade pitch. While stainless steel is commonly used for standard mixing impellers, economical aluminum varieties are available for applications where chemical resistance is not critical. Polished impellers are available with finishes to 15Ra. Additionally, electropolishing and a variety of surface coating options may be selected for sanitary industry or challenging chemical processes.

Centrifugal impact mill grinds friable materials, reduces flakes and de-agglomerates materials at rates to 5 cu. ft. (142 L) per minute, yielding narrow particle size ranges without the use of screens. High speed rotation of the inner disc creates centrifugal force that accelerates bulk material entering the central inlet of the opposing stationary disc. As material travels from the center to the periphery of the discs at high speed, it crosses five intermeshing rows of rotating and stationary pins, yielding desired tight particle size distribution. Materials remain cooler than in other types of mills since retention is minimal and air is constantly drawn through the mill chamber. Setting the infinitely-variable rotor speed from several hundred rpm to 5400 rpm provides the flexibility for coarse grinding and de-agglomerating, or fine grinding to 325 mesh.
