Twin screw pelletizer for continuous production 150 kg/h
Achieve precise pellet density adjustments and seamless integration in your production line with this adaptable extruder and spheronization system, optimizing processes from formulation to scaling, while maintaining continuous operation for varied material outputs.

Adjusts Density and Shapes Pellets for Production
The Caleva Variable Density Twin Screw Extruder VD-TSE70 and Spheronizer 700 system is engineered for flexible density and shape control of pellets across pharmaceutical, catalyst, cosmetics, and more. The VD-TSE70 employs advanced twin-screw technology for continuous or intermittent extrusion, enabling precise density modifications to meet diverse material specifications. With a capacity to handle up to 200 kg per hour and axial extrusion capabilities, it supports the production of pharmaceutical pellets, biofuel pellets, and catalyst granules effectively. Meanwhile, the Caleva Spheronizer 700 ensures smooth sphere formation through its batch operation with automatic air blast discharge, optimizing the surface finish and consistency of final products. Both units feature easy assembly and disassembly minimizing tool use, and incorporating cooling and heating jackets to maintain optimal processing conditions. Designed with a hygienic build for effective CIP and sterilization, these units are ideal for compliance with stringent pharmaceutical and GMP standards. The system’s durability and minimal maintenance requirements, coupled with Caleva’s engineering support, make them well-suited for companies seeking robust, long-lasting production equipment.
