Pharmaceutical roller compactor
Achieve consistent granulate quality with optimized compacting processes, ideal for transforming powders into accurate, uniform flakes and granules, especially crucial in sensitive pharmaceutical applications where precision and efficiency are vital.
Compacts and Granulates Pharmaceutical Powders
The WP120 Pharmaceutical Roller Compactor by Alexanderwerk is a versatile machine designed for the efficient compaction and granulation of pharmaceutical powders. Employing a modular design, it utilizes a three-step process: feeding, compacting, and granulating, with a built-in two-stage mill. Ideal for both lab-scale and production-scale operations, it accommodates small batches with a capacity of 5 g to 50 kg per hour. It integrates seamlessly into production lines, featuring a PLC-controlled system for precise adjustments in throughput and particle characteristics. The WP120 adheres to cGMP standards, ensuring compliance with pharmaceutical regulations, and boasts durable stainless steel construction for longevity. The user-friendly interface and quick-change roller system simplify maintenance and cleaning, making it a reliable choice for producing effervescent tablets, multivitamin capsules, and more. Configurable for continuous or batch operations, this compactor supports a range of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.
