GK60 Small Pharmaceutical Roller Compactor

The GK-60 roller compactor is a clean type, a vertical product flow system uses a tapered feed screw to deliver the material to the fully contained compaction zone of the cantilevered rolls, increasing product yields and minimizing product fines. Roll compactor utilizes a unique roll system to compact powders into sheets or briquettes. The compacted sheets are milled to produce granules of a specific size. 

The material in form of powder passes through the two counter rotating rolls of roller compactor under very high pressure. As the volume decreases through the region of maximum pressure, the material is formed into a solid compact sheet or flakes of ingredients. These flakes or compact sheet of ingredients are reduced in size to obtain the desired grain size. The machine takes extra care to prevent the generation of fine during this process.

Salient Features:

• Design according to cGMP requirement

• The test can be      run with only few material

• The temperature of the roller system can be reduced  by the connection of a cooling system to the rollers.

• Adjusting the screw speed and roller speed sets the  roller gap.

• Bottom scrapper of the roll to scrape off powder  sticking on the roll

• The hopper and auger/ feeder assembly is lifted by hydraulically for easy cleaning & maintenance.

• Wide ranges of screen mesh sizes are available for  the granulator screen

• Final granules are uniform. The tablet weight can be  controlled within narrow limits.

• Final granules are suitable for direct compression  without slugging.

• Final granules of light powder can be easily filled  into capsules.

• Final granules flow easily for efficient automatic  filling and packing procedures.

• Maintained easily and requires a small floor space.
