Moist granulation system for pharmaceutical and chemical industries
In pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing, certain raw materials cannot be processed in a dry state. These materials require a reliable method to form granules with uniform size and high solubility, mitigating dust and cross-contamination issues during processing.
Ensuring homogeneous and rapidly soluble granules
The MG Series from Alexanderwerk is a moist granulation system designed to process moist and pasty materials using counter-rotating cylinders. This system excels at producing granules with diameters ranging from 1.0 mm to 10.0 mm. Moist granulation involves adding a liquid to dry materials, forcing the mixture into a granulating extrusion cylinder, compressing it, and cutting it into granules. The MG Series is known for its quick disassembly, facilitating easy cleaning and maintenance. Models like the GA 65, G 1/100, G 1/168, and G 1/244 cater to different throughput needs, from 100 kg/hr to 2000 kg/hr. The process is essential in industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food, and nutraceuticals to ensure product uniformity and stability. Alexanderwerk’s moist granulators are ideal for situations where air entrapment must be minimized and active ingredients evenly distributed.
