Roll Compactor

Some powder raw materials have the characteristics of low density (low specific gravity) and bad flow ability. By using the Roll Compactor – dry granulation process, it will improve the above characteristics and result in bigger bulk density, higher specific gravity, good flow ability which improves and simplifies the dry process granulation. Applications: Pharmaceuticals: Free flowing granules for automatic packaging Compact granules to reduce package size. Dust free granules to facilitate handling Granules can be filled in smaller capsules Granules for tabletting Food Industry : Granules for compressed candies, chocolate, dairy products, seasoning etc. Chemical Industry : Catalyst, Fertilizers, pesticides, dyes, cosmetics and other chemicals. Key Features: Roll compactor is mainly used for dry granulation. The advantages of the dry granulation machine are : The Roll Compactor is designed to have 3 functions in one unit. These are compression, granulating and sifting. It is simpler operation than wet granulation. The Roll Compactor also enables to stabilise mixtures of powders and ensures an easier packaging, handling, storage and transportation of powders. We have developed a wide range of compactors are user friendly and are specifically adapted to as per the requirements of the pharmaceutical industry; online production without dust generation, production area fully isolated from the drive system, quick and easy changeover parts in the production area and easy cleaning of these parts. The PLC Based control system controls and monitors the compaction and granulation process with full instrumentation and data acquisition capabilities. The design and construction of the Roll compactor is according to the current GMP. No water or other liquid is added, so the loss of active ingredients due to decomposition can be eliminated. Highly stable granules can be obtained. Feeding Hopper can move up and down by the inbuilt hydraulic system for ease of maintenance and cleaning. The VFD drive backed with hydraulic system is provided for charging the screw, the roller speed and the roller pressure for precise and variable adjustment with respect to the product's characteristics. The pressure of hydraulic system is adjustable to accommodate a wide range of materials. The cooling system reduces high temperature generated during the operation that maintains the product quality. High percentage of usable granules can be achieved by the better-designed breaking blades and crushing rollers. Option 'A' - Online sifter is provided to segregate granules and fines Option 'B' - A automatic vacuum transfer conveyor is provided to transfer the fine powder back to the compactor as a recycle powder which will give better yield and granules.
