Pharmaceutical roller compactor for precise granulation
Achieve consistent and high-quality granulation with a solution that enhances feed control and reduces material waste, ensuring precision and efficiency in continuous processing operations.
Compacts, Granulates, and Pre-Crushes for Continuous Processing
The WP200 Pharmaceutical Roller Compactor from Alexanderwerk is engineered to meet the stringent demands of pharmaceutical, chemical, and food processing industries. Utilizing a patented vertical roller arrangement and Combi-Vent-Feeder®, it achieves improved feed control and uniformity, introducing unused granules back into the raw material to reduce waste. Designed for applications such as pharmaceutical tablet production and granulated detergent manufacturing, this compactor ensures consistent product quality with a throughput capacity of 10 to 500 kg/h. The WP200’s automated system features a modern interface for precise control of roller gap, pressure, and throughput, facilitating seamless integration into continuous production lines. Its design prioritizes easy cleaning and maintenance, with a cantilever roller structure for quick disassembly. Available with various roller combinations and materials to ensure durability and process compatibility, the WP200 compactor adheres to industry standards, offering a reliable solution for efficient, high-speed operation.
