ContiUnity®

The pharmaceutical solution to continuous manufacturing

Smart Modules working together for continuous manufacturing of high-quality products.

  • WHY

    To challenge the status quo in medicine production and make high quality medication accessible to all.

  • HOW

    We reduce footprint, costs and time to market while working towards sustainability goals.

  • WHAT

    We provide a total solution through ContiUnity®, our smart platform based on standardized and flexibly deployable modules.

ContiUnity allows you to design and configure your GMP- and GAMP-compliant processes quickly and easily. Because the ContiUnity Modules are designed as standard building blocks with wide operating ranges, simply choose your desired combination of Modules from our extensive catalogue and configure them to your unique process requirements.

The flexibility of ContiUnity covers your entire process life cycle without the need to redesign, revalidate or retire your equipment, providing value-retaining solutions while minimizing your time to market.

Modular Platform

The ContiUnity® platform consists of tree modular, expandable components:
Backbone, Bookcase And Process Modules

Backbone

The Backbone acts as a tie-in-point for the Process Modules, distributing the building utilities to the individual Process Modules via no-spill quick connectors.

This allows for the hot swap of Process Modules during operation for easy offline maintenance and fast reconfiguration of your process.

Bookcase

The Bookcase acts as a physical support for the Process Modules. This allows for a compact three-level arrangement.

The wheels under the bookcases allow for a complete section to be disconnected and relocated, allowing for maximum mobility and easy replacement with different Modules.

Process Modules

Zeton has developed multiple pre-validated Process Modules ready to use in various process.

Each Module comes equipped with a local controller, providing the flexibility to operate independently or as part of an existing DCS system with minimal integration work.

ContiUnity®

Standard Process Modules

Developed in collaboration with leading pharmaceutical companies, a wide range of pre-validated standard Modules are available with proven success in commercial production applications.

  • Pump module
  • Flow and Pressure module
  • Plug Flow Reactor module
  • Mixer Settler module
  • CSTR module
  • Feed Switch-over module
  • Storage Tank module
  • Liquid-Liquid Extraction Column module

The ContiUnity® Project Approach

STEP 1
Process Translation

  • Zeton reviews the process with the customer,
    and translates their needs into the Zeton
    ContiUnity® architecture.

STEP 2
Module Selection

  • Using the developed process flow diagram, the right Process Modules will be selected. No standard Process Module available? A custom Module will be designed.

STEP 3
Assembly and Testing

  • At Zeton, the modular Backbone, Bookcases and Process Modules are assembled. Once completed, the entire system is fully tested including IQ and OQ tests, attended and witnessed by the customer.

STEP 4
Transport and Reassembly

  • After successfully passing all tests, the system will
    be shipped to the customer and reassembled at site.

STEP 5
On-site Testing

  • With prevalidated modules and the system fully tested at Zeton, only limited Site Acceptance testing is required before system handover.
