The Lab Rapid Mixture Granulator (RMG) is an advanced piece of equipment designed specifically for research and development purposes, particularly for the mixing and wet granulation of various ingredients. It is ideal for small-scale batch processing and laboratory testing, enabling scientists and researchers to produce uniform wet granules efficiently and with precision. The machine is especially useful for industries such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, and chemical engineering, where granulation is a crucial step in the production process.
This RMG has been engineered with a focus on versatility and efficiency, featuring an interchangeable design that allows for easy modifications and adaptability to different lab settings and processes. It is designed to handle a wide range of granulation requirements while providing consistency in the final product. The innovative multi-blade impeller and four-blade chopper design ensure that materials are efficiently floated, tumbled, and uniformly mixed, whether the application is for dry or wet granulation.
Features
-
- Premium-Grade Stainless Steel Construction: All contact parts of the RMG are made from SS 316, a high-quality stainless steel that offers excellent resistance to corrosion and contamination. This makes the equipment ideal for pharmaceutical and food-grade applications where hygiene and material integrity are of utmost importance. Non-contact parts are made of SS 304, ensuring the machine is robust and durable, capable of handling extended periods of operation without significant wear.
- Customizable Impeller and Chopper Design: The RMG features a three or four-blade impeller (customizable to meet specific process requirements) that efficiently agitates and mixes the material. The impeller is designed for high-speed operation, creating a floating and tumbling effect that ensures thorough mixing of powders and liquids to form uniform wet granules. Additionally, the machine is equipped with a four-blade chopper, which enhances the granulation process by breaking down any clumps, ensuring that the mixture remains consistent and lump-free.
- Air Purging Option: The machine offers a special air purging facility as an optional feature, which helps in maintaining a clean working environment and prevents cross-contamination. This is particularly useful when handling sensitive materials that require contamination control, as it aids in reducing the risk of dust or unwanted particles mixing with the product.
- Manual Discharge Mechanism: The manually operated discharge mechanism allows for easy, controlled discharge of the processed material. This manual operation gives operators full control over the emptying process, ensuring that the granulated product is discharged cleanly and efficiently. The discharge port is conveniently placed for quick access, minimizing product loss and downtime.
- Robust and Durable Structure: The machine’s main structure is constructed from mild steel (MS) and covered with SS 304, providing a strong and stable framework that can withstand the stresses of continuous operation. The stainless steel covering adds an extra layer of protection, preventing rust and corrosion, making the RMG ideal for use in demanding laboratory environments.
- Manual Push Button Control with Optional Automation: The machine comes with a manual push button control panel, allowing for straightforward and easy operation. For those looking for enhanced automation and precision, an optional PLC-based control panel can be provided. The PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) offers a more sophisticated approach, enabling operators to set precise parameters and monitor the process digitally. This option enhances process control, reducing human error and ensuring greater consistency in production.
