Data:
Customer: Industrie pharma
Tested material: GR70 Paddle granulator
Customer issue:
The customer prepares liquid / solid mixtures in agitated tanks. He introduces bulk solids in bags with a high mass content. These materials present problems of dissolution time but also of material degradation caused by the shocks of the compacted clods against the agitator blades.
The mass setting of the materials is due to their hygroscopic character but also to the transport and storage time on pallets.
Objective:
The customer wishes to be able to introduce the solid raw materials in their initial state: 300µm powders for one, and 5mm flakes for the other.
Tests carried out:
Passage of highly compacted blocks of powder from a Sacktip® bag dump station into a GR70 paddle granulator.
Several sizing meshes were tested: from 1 to 8 mm opening.
Results:
The test successfully qualified the material, our customer left satisfied and validated the final particle size on both tested products.
This test allowed us to identify the meshes ensuring the necessary particle size reduction (1mm for the powder and 8mm for the flakes) without degradation or heating of the material.
