Pilot High shear granulator for wet granulation
Achieve consistent particle sizing and superior homogeneity in your powder formulations with this versatile system, perfect for optimizing your pilot-scale wet granulation and mixing processes.

Granulates and Mixes Powder into Dense Granules
The GMXB-Pilot GRANUMEIST® from Freund is a high shear wet granulation mixer designed for precise and efficient processing in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and fine chemical industries. This equipment stands out due to its bottom-drive design, which facilitates easy cleaning, faster processing times, and enhanced safety. Featuring interchangeable bowls (10L, 25L, 65L) and user-defined mixer and chopper blade speeds, it supports both aqueous and solvent processes. Its integrated peristaltic pump and optional vacuum drying make it suitable for flexible batch operations. Containment is enhanced with the optional Smart-Safe™ system, while a color touchscreen offers validatable and automated process control, aligning with 21 CFR Part 11 compliance. Engineered for scalability and equipped with proportional mixer blade tip speeds, the GMXB-Pilot accommodates diverse granulation needs, from granulated vitamins to fine chemical powders. Additionally, its quick changeover design and options for jacketed and vacuum drying bowls streamline maintenance and operational efficiency.
