Compactors and granulators for powdery products
Transform loose powders into dense, free-flowing granules that enhance handling and dosing efficiency, ideal for seamless integration into high-speed continuous production lines.
Compacts and Granulates Powdery Materials
Hosokawa Alpine’s Industrial Compactors and Granulators offer precise powder processing for chemical, pharmaceutical, and mineral industries. This equipment efficiently compacts and granulates diverse materials including powders and granules through high-pressure roller grinding and pelletizing. Designed for continuous, high-speed operations, it seamlessly integrates into your production line with PLC-controlled automation for streamlined processes.
Ideal for creating products like catalyst pellets, fertilizer granules, and extended-release tablets, it enhances flow properties and minimizes dust through its multi-stage compaction process. Available in corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel, it adheres to GMP and FDA standards, ensuring compliance for pharmaceutical applications.
The system supports up to 50 tons per hour, optimizing energy use by 20% with variable-speed motor technology. Its construction allows for effortless cleaning, featuring a CIP system to maintain hygiene standards without cross-contamination. Comprehensive engineering support and customization options are available, including varying rotor speeds and chamber sizes to match specific processing needs.
