Featuring an OEB5 high-containment design, it ensures safe handling of potent powders, reducing the risk of contamination. The system also includes a 10 Bar Stuffy explosion-proof design to maintain operational safety under pressure conditions, while the 2205 duplex stainless steel construction offers excellent resistance to corrosion and extends the equipment’s service life. Additionally, the fully-upgraded electrical configuration enables precise control for efficient operations.
New Series High Shear Mixer
This high-shear mixer offers a wider stirring speed range, with an increased capacity of 10–60% for more efficient mixing. Its granulation speed has been expanded to range from 300 to 2800 RPM, providing greater flexibility and process adaptability. The improved single-pan yield design maximizes throughput while reducing waste, and the retained material blowing function minimizes residue, leading to cleaner operations.
New Series Fluid-Bed Multi-Processor
The fluid-bed multi-processor has several enhancements, including a cylinder rotary door that improves material flow, replacing the feeding butterfly valve. The unique Condiure vortex plate ensures uniform granulation, while the synchronous lifting structure for the bottom spray coating guide tube provides precise coating. The vacuum discharging mechanism for bottom spray coating ensures efficient and residue-free discharge, while the auto lifting of spray gun function automates coating operations for better process control.
These innovations represent Shree Bhagwati’s continued commitment to providing the highest levels of safety, efficiency, and precision in the pharmaceutical and chemical processing sectors.
Pharmaceutical Granulation Line: Wet Granulation Process
Shree Bhagwati®’s pharmaceutical granulation lines are specifically designed for producing solid dosage forms, including tablets, capsules, and other forms that require controlled granulation. Available in capacities ranging from 25L to 2000L, the systems are flexible and scalable to meet the needs of both laboratory-scale research and full-scale production.
Key Features of Wet Granulation
Wet granulation involves adding a liquid binder to a powder blend, causing particles to adhere to each other and form granules. The wet granulation process ensures the production of uniform-sized granules, ideal for further tablet or capsule production. Key benefits include:
- Accurate Granule Size: The granulation process ensures uniform granules with precise size, essential for downstream processes like tablet compression and capsule filling.
- Reduced Dust and Material Loss: The wet granulation process significantly reduces dust, contributing to a cleaner and safer operation.
- Scalable Capacities: From 25L pilot-scale systems to 2000L full-scale production units, the granulation lines can easily be scaled to match growing production demands.
