How to Optimize Production with Rapid Mixer Granulators

Written by ChemiplantMarch 21, 2024

In the dynamic landscape of pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing, efficiency and precision are paramount. Chemiplant Engineering Company, a stalwart in the field, offers cutting-edge solutions to enhance production processes. Among its array of offerings, the Rapid Mixer Granulator (RMG) emerges as a versatile tool, revolutionizing the way powders are mixed and granulated. Let’s explore the intricacies of Rapid Mixer Granulators and unveil how they can optimize your production processes.

How to Optimize Your Production Process with Rapid Mixer Granulators:

Application in High Shear Mixing Granulation:

Chemiplant’s Rapid Mixer Granulator (RMG) finds diverse applications in industries requiring homogeneous mixing and granulation of powders. From pharmaceuticals to cosmetics, food to plastics, RMGs play a crucial role in ensuring the quality and consistency of end products.

Description of RMG Operation:

The RMG operates on a sophisticated design featuring a special three-arm mixing impeller. This impeller, along with the cylindrical mixing drum, facilitates dry mixing followed by wet granulation. During operation, the impeller rotates, mixing the dry powder, while a binder is simultaneously added, either as a solution or in dry form. The wet mass is then further granulated by the chopper, resulting in uniform particle size and distribution.

Key Features Enhancing Efficiency:

  • Air purge sealing for main shaft and granulator shaft ensures a contamination-free environment.
  • Homogeneous binder distribution ensures uniformity in granule formation.
  • Modular design for chopper blades allows for optimum results.
  • PLC-based control with recipe administration and visualization streamlines operation and ensures reproducibility.
  • Models available in various capacities, catering to diverse production needs.

Benefits of RMG Integration:

  1. Short Batch Time & Reduced Cleaning Time: The efficient mixing and granulation process of RMGs result in shorter batch times, enhancing overall production efficiency.
  2. Enhanced Safety: Enclosed moving parts and maximum care in design ensure operator safety and machine reliability.
  3. Flexible Configurations: With seven different layouts available, RMGs can be seamlessly integrated into existing production setups, optimizing floor space utilization.
  4. GMP/Flame Proof/SS 316 Construction Options: Chemiplant offers flexibility in construction, catering to specific industry requirements such as pharmaceuticals, bulk drugs, and special food processing.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, Rapid Mixer Granulators stand as indispensable assets in modern production facilities, offering unparalleled efficiency and precision in mixing and granulation processes. Chemiplant Engineering Company’s commitment to innovation and quality ensures that its RMGs are equipped with advanced features to meet the evolving needs of various industries. By integrating RMGs into your production process, you can achieve higher productivity, enhanced product quality, and greater operational flexibility, ultimately driving success in today’s competitive market landscape.

5 Key Benefits of Implementing a Powder Transfer System in Your Facility

Written by ChemiplantMarch 18, 2024

Powder Conveying systems have become one of the most economical and effective methods of transfer of material. In a granulation line, all the individual process equipment like Granulators, Fluid Bed Driers Processors, Milling, and Sifting machines, and most importantly Blenders, need to be charged, discharged, and subsequently conveyed to the successive machines in line. All the above conveying operations can be done through the powder transfer systems. Based upon our experience, we have extended our conveying expertise to various allied industries namely Chemical/API and also the food industries.

5 Key Benefits Of Powder Transfer System

The Powder Transfer System has many advantages over conventional conveying systems like screw conveyors or bucket elevators.

  • Ease of Use: The system is easy to install, control, and maintain, reducing downtime and operational hassles. Easy Installation, control & reliable low weight System.
  • Comprehensive Solution: Suitable for transferring materials between various process equipment in a granulation line, including granulators, fluid bed dryers processors, milling and sifting machines, and blenders.
  • Material-Friendly: Gentle to materials, ensuring minimal wear and tear, and suitable for transferring products with bulk densities up to 1.0gm/cc. MOC-Stainless Steel Clad MS column / SS column.
  • Design: The closed column construction with floor and ceiling fastening and pivoted execution ensures dust-free and hygienic material transfer, meeting cGMP compliance. Almost no wear throughout the entire process, ensuring long-lasting performance.
  • Applications: Suitable for a wide range of industries, including chemicals, food, pharmaceuticals, animal feed, fertilizers, plastics, metal powders, and color and coatings. Helps avoid product waste, loss, and contamination, ensuring efficient and clean material transfer.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the Powder Transfer System stands out as a superior choice for material transfer in various industries. Its economical and effective design, coupled with ease of use and maintenance, makes it a comprehensive solution for transferring materials between different process equipment in a granulation line. With its gentle material handling, hygienic design, and versatility across industries, this system ensures efficient, clean, and reliable material transfer, ultimately minimizing product waste and maximizing operational efficiency.
