The Gelatine Agitator is a specialized mixing system designed to handle the complex process of soft gelatine mass preparation. Built with precision engineering, it delivers low-shear, thorough mixing of highly viscous gelatine mixtures, ensuring product consistency and quality. This agitator is ideal for applications in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries where soft gelatin encapsulation or gel-based products are produced.
Features:
-
- Contra-Rotating Anchor Design: The Gelatine Agitator uses a contra-rotating type anchor system equipped with triangular blades that provide low-shear mixing action. This design is essential for preventing the degradation of highly viscous gelatine while ensuring intimate and uniform mixing of the mass.
- Automated Operation: This system can be fully automated, featuring pneumatically operated valves, load cells for precise measurement, and an optional PLC HMI (Human Machine Interface) control system. The automation enhances production efficiency, reduces manual intervention, and ensures repeatable results across batches.
- Hydraulic Lifting System: To improve accessibility and streamline operations, the top cover of the gelatine vessel can be lifted using a hydraulic system. This feature simplifies cleaning, maintenance, and inspection tasks, significantly reducing downtime between batches.
- Gelatine Feed Tank with Heating System: The system is equipped with a specially constructed gelatine feed tank featuring an electronic heating system. The temperature control ensures the gelatine maintains the ideal viscosity for processing, avoiding the risk of premature setting or clumping.
- Integrated Medicament Mixing: For a complete processing solution, the system includes a dedicated medicament or medicine preparation head. This enables the simultaneous blending of active ingredients or colorants with the gelatine mass, streamlining the production workflow and minimizing transfer steps.
- Flexible Agitator Operations: The hydraulic lifting mechanism allows the agitators to be adjusted for different operations, making the system versatile for various mixing requirements. Quick-release couplings ensure fast and easy agitator changes or cleaning operations, maximizing production uptime.
- cGMP Compliance: The Gelatine Agitator system adheres strictly to cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practices) standards, in full compliance with international pharmaceutical and food safety regulations. This guarantees the equipment’s suitability for use in highly regulated environments, ensuring safety and quality throughout the production process.
- Batch Capacities: The Gelatine Agitator is available in multiple configurations to suit different production scales. It is offered in sizes ranging from 10 kg to 1,000 kg working batch capacity, providing flexibility for both small-scale and large-scale manufacturers.
Applications:
-
- Pharmaceutical Industry: Ideal for producing soft gelatin capsules used in medications, vitamins, and dietary supplements.
- Nutraceutical Industry: Perfect for the production of gel-based supplements and encapsulated products.
- Cosmetic Industry: Suitable for the formulation of gel-based skincare products and other gel-based personal care items.
