Roller compactor for pharmaceutical and chemical industries
In the pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries, the need for consistent and high-quality granular materials is crucial. Traditional methods often struggle with maintaining uniformity and minimizing fines, causing inefficiencies in production processes.
Enhance granulation consistency with integrated vacuum dearation
The Roller Compactor from Germany’s Alexanderwerk, available through Austar, is designed to address common issues in granular material production. Utilizing a vertical roller configuration, the machine operates unaffected by gravity, ensuring even feed. Its Combi-Vent-Feeder effectively vents air from the product, producing consistent quality flakes and granules. A built-in vacuum dearation system further enhances this process by minimizing air inclusion. The compactor’s three-stage granulation system (Flake Chopper, 1st stage Granulation, 2nd Stage Granulation) offers a gentle granulation process, generating less stress and heat, which results in fewer fines. Additionally, its diagonal design increases the surface area for screening, potentially doubling the output capacity compared to traditional configurations. This advanced design is particularly beneficial for the pharmaceutical industry, chemical sectors like Soda Ash and Silica Industries, and the nutraceutical/food industry.
