High-shear granulator for wet granulation
Achieve precise content uniformity with advanced high-shear granulation, designed for optimal batch processing with enhanced operator safety and compliance with stringent safety directives.
Processes Powders into Uniform Granules
The QUEST HSM II from ACG is a high-shear mixer granulator designed for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries, ensuring optimal granulation for products like oral tablets and supplements. It features the ACG X•ONE command process control system and the unique MOST™ concept, enhancing safety with its 12-bar pressure shock-resistant system. This mobile, plug-and-play unit offers flexibility in batch processing with interchangeable bowls of 2, 5, and 10 liters. It processes powders into consistent granules through Z-shaped impeller blades and a laser-cut chopper, optimizing material flow and binder distribution. Meeting cGMP compliance, it offers a fully contained, non-vented design approved by FSA in Germany, and is ATEX compliant. Suitable for R&D and small-scale production, it integrates seamlessly into existing lines, ensuring minimal downtime and a quick return to production following pressure-shock events.
