Roll compactor system for dry granulation

Achieve consistent tablet hardness and increased powder density with a versatile compaction system designed for efficient dry granulation, ensuring uniformity and scalability in your production process.

Compacts and Granulates Powders for Consistent Density

The GFC-220 GRANUFORCE™ by Freund-Vector is an ETO roller compactor designed for pharmaceutical, biotech, chemical, and food industries. It specializes in densifying and granulating powders, ensuring uniformity and enhanced material density. Utilizing a cantilevered roll design with vertical tapered feed screws, it processes 1 to 30 kg/hr, ideal for applications like lactose-based tablets and vitamin supplements. The system integrates seamlessly into continuous production lines, supported by a 12″ touchscreen control for precise roll gap and force adjustments. Optional inline PAT monitoring optimizes particle size distribution. Engineered with GMP compliance in mind, it features easy-clean cantilevered rolls and Smart-Safe™ containment for operational safety.

Benefits

  • Enhances product consistency by maintaining uniform compaction force.
  • Optimizes material handling with efficient feed screw designs, reducing waste.
  • Facilitates scalability from pilot to full production with modular design.
  • Improves worker safety through advanced containment options.
  • Streamlines cleaning and maintenance, minimizing operational interruptions.
