Lab scale roller compactor for dry granulation
In research and development settings, achieving dry granulation for small volume batch production demands precision and scalability. Traditional large-scale equipment may not provide the flexibility or efficiency needed for benchtop applications, hindering experimental progress and compaction consistency.
Achieve consistent dry granulation at lab scale
The LCS – Lab Compaction System by The Fitzpatrick Company is a highly versatile and scalable benchtop solution for dry granulation. This system is ideal for R&D and trial batch production, capable of processing powders with the same pressure as larger production-scale roller compactors (20 kN/cm roll force). It ensures efficient material handling with minimal equipment and steps, and low risk of ingredient damage. The LCS’s low-volume design supports seamless scale-up from lab to production, ensuring consistency and quality. Designed with a high-precision twin feed screw system, the LCS facilitates thorough mixing, and its touchpad control simplifies adjustment of feed and compaction variables. Additionally, the system is suitable for a variety of industries, including pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, and fine chemicals. All contact parts can be completely disassembled for easy cleaning, and options are available for containment systems and cGMP documentation.
