High-shear mixer granulator for pharma and nutraceuticals

Optimize your batch and high-speed production with a powerful granulator designed to ensure precise particle size distribution and uniformity, essential for achieving consistent quality in tablet and capsule manufacturing.

Performs High-Speed Granulation and Mixing

The HSM 2000 X·ONE from ACG is a high-shear mixer granulator engineered for precision and efficiency in large-scale batch processing of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products. Its unique design features a Z-shaped impeller and multi-blade chopper, optimizing centrifugal force for uniform binder distribution and minimizing dead zones. This equipment excels in wet granulation and mixing, ideal for producing tablet granules, vitamin supplements, and probiotic capsules.

Capable of handling working volumes from 600 to 1,600 liters, it integrates seamlessly into a granulation train or operates as a standalone unit. The system is equipped with the ACG X·ONE command process control system, providing secure, intuitive monitoring compliant with ATEX, GAMP 5, and 21 CFR Part 11 standards. The MOST™ (Maximum Operator Safety Technology) ensures operator safety, while the non-vented, fully contained design enhances the work environment.

It supports applications in processing departments within the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries, handling powders and granules with high-speed efficiency. Maintenance is streamlined with wash-in-place (WIP) systems, facilitating easy cleaning and reducing downtime for continuous operation.

Benefits

  • Enhances production efficiency by ensuring uniform particle-size distribution and content uniformity.
  • Minimizes safety risks and production delays with a 12-bar pressure shock-resistant system.
  • Reduces cleaning time and improves productivity with wash-in-place (WIP) capabilities.
  • Offers regulatory compliance and secure process monitoring with integrated ATEX, GAMP 5, and 21 CFR Part 11 systems.
  • Adapts seamlessly to both standalone operations and integrated granulation trains for flexible production setups.
