Dry granulation system for pharmaceutical powders
Streamline your powder processing with a dry granulation system that enhances particle integrity and flow, ensuring seamless integration into your production line for creating high-quality tablets and granules.

Compacts and Granulates Powders into Uniform Granules
The High Containment Roller Compaction System from The Fitzpatrick Company, a division of IDEX MPT, Inc., offers precise powder compaction and granulation with minimal process variables. Known for its efficiency in transforming powders into uniformly compacted ribbons, this equipment is indispensable for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food productions demanding seamless integration and particle size consistency. Utilizing a counter-rotating roll mechanism, it enhances powder flow and prevents segregation, ensuring trouble-free feeding into downstream processes. Capable of continuous high-speed operations, it excels in producing pharmaceutical tablets, collagen supplements, and detergent granules. Designed for robust industrial use, the system features a PLC-controlled interface for effortless automation and remote monitoring, optimizing energy use through variable-speed motor control while meeting GMP and FDA requirements. Constructed with options for stainless steel or Hastelloy, it guarantees resistance to harsh chemicals and ensures a hygienic production environment. Equipped with a CIP system, it allows quick, contamination-free maintenance and can be customized for various production needs through configurable roll dimensions and mill screen sizes.
