High Shear Mixer Pharma Granulator

Revolutionize your granulation process with our High Shear Mixer Granulator, engineered to deliver superior granule density and homogeneity for the most demanding pharmaceutical applications. This advanced system excels at rapidly transforming powder blends into uniform, robust granules with excellent flowability and compressibility.

By combining dry mixing, wet granulation, and intensification in a single, contained vessel, our granulator streamlines production, enhances operational efficiency, and ensures consistent, repeatable results that meet stringent cGMP and regulatory standards.

Detailed Description

The exceptional performance of our High Shear Mixer Granulator begins with its intelligent design. The unit features a unique cylindrical cone tangent structure, meticulously engineered to create a powerful vortex and promote efficient, three-dimensional material rolling. This ensures that every particle is incorporated into the mixing process, eliminating dead zones and guaranteeing a homogenous blend.

At the heart of the system are two critical components: a main stirring impeller and a high-speed chopper. During operation, the low-speed impeller agitates the powder bed, creating the vortex while a binding agent is precisely introduced. The high-speed, V-shaped granulating knife (chopper) then intersects this moving mass, applying intense shear forces that break down oversized agglomerates and densify the particles. This synergistic action of mixing and shearing produces granules of remarkable density and uniformity in a fraction of the time required by traditional methods.

Features

  1. Advanced Process Automation & Control Driven by a sophisticated PLC with an intuitive Human-Machine Interface (HMI), our granulator offers complete process automation. Pre-programmed recipes ensure batch-to-batch consistency and simplify operations. This system provides a clear, validatable process that is ready for integration into a 21 CFR Part 11 compliant data management environment.
  2. Dynamic Variable Speed Control Achieve ultimate process flexibility. Both the main stirring blade and the chopper feature independent variable frequency speed control. This allows operators to precisely manipulate shear forces and mixing intensity, making it easy to develop and optimize granulation recipes for a wide variety of formulations, from fine cohesive powders to highly viscous blends.
  3. Optimized for High Yield and Efficiency The innovative geometry of our mixing bowl and the V-shaped granulating knife work in concert to eliminate blind spots and prevent material from caking on the walls. This results in a significantly improved granulation rate and a fast, residue-free output, maximizing your product yield and simplifying cleaning between batches.

FAQS

Here are some FAQs
1How does the High Shear Mixer Pharma Granulator operate?
The granulator uses a multi-stage process within a single container. First, it dry-mixes the powder using a main impeller. Then, a binder solution is added while the impeller continues to mix. Finally, a high-speed chopper blade imparts intense shear to the wet mass, breaking down lumps and forming dense, uniform granules. The entire process is automated and controlled by a PLC for consistency.
2What are the advantages of this granulator?
The main advantages are speed, granule density, and efficiency. It produces highly dense and less friable granules in a very short time, which improves downstream processes like tableting. It also reduces binder consumption and subsequent drying time. The single-pot design enhances containment and reduces material handling.
3Is it easy to operate?
Yes. The system is managed through a user-friendly HMI with recipe management. Once a process is validated, operators can execute batches with the touch of a button, ensuring repeatability and minimizing the need for manual intervention.
4What is the capacity range of the hopper?
Our High Shear Mixer Granulators are available in a wide range of capacities, from small-scale R&D models (e.g., 10L) to large, production-scale units (e.g., 1200L). Please contact us with your specific batch size requirements.
5How is material output managed?
The system features a fast output design with no residue, ensuring clean and efficient material discharge.
6Does the granulator meet safety standards?
Yes, the entire system is made from food-grade stainless steel, ensuring compliance with industry standards.
7What type of products can this granulator handle?
It is versatile and suitable for a wide range of pharmaceutical products, offering consistent granulation quality.
