High shear granulator for wet granulation of powders

Achieve consistent granule density and size with a high shear granulator designed for efficient wet granulation, ideal for precise formulation demands in laboratory and pilot-scale setups.

Processes Powders into Granules and Coated Tablets

The GMXB-LAB Mini GRANUMEIST® from Freund is a state-of-the-art high shear wet granulator designed for efficient and homogeneous granulation processes in pharmaceutical, chemical, biotech, and food industries. Its bottom-drive system allows for easy cleaning, maintenance, and user safety. The unit utilizes interchangeable product bowls (4L, 6L, and 10L) and user-defined mixer and chopper blade speeds, enhancing process flexibility. It’s ideal for producing paracetamol tablets, vitamin supplements, and more.

Offering integrated peristaltic pumps and optional jacketed and vacuum-drying bowls, it supports both aqueous and solvent processing. This makes it versatile in operations like wet granulation, mixing, drying, and coating. With a proportional mixer blade tip speed and bowl and blade geometries, it scales easily from lab to pilot operations. A color touchscreen gives you validatable process control with multiple endpoint detection parameters like mixer power and granulation time.

The GMXB-LAB Mini GRANUMEIST® ensures compliance with industry standards while offering customization options and engineering support for tailored solutions. The quick-changeover design requires no tools, minimizing downtime and ensuring efficient production cycles.
