Rapid Change Line Laboratory/Pilot Mixer Granulator to be Demonstrated at TechnoPharm

At TechnoPharm 2013, 23–25 April, Nuremberg, Germany, Hall 9, Stand 468, DIOSNA will present its laboratory/pilot mixer granulator P/VAC 10-60 RC, one of the two key machines in the new DIOSNA granulation rapid change line (RCL).

This granulation line combines the through the wall (TTW) technique, which is usual for production lines, with the exchange bowl technique, which prevails in laboratories and pilot plants. The handling during exchange of the process units is considerably simplified and the time requirement reduced to a minimum, hence the name RCL.

A mixer/granulator in rapid change design consists of two (or more) units. The basic unit is installed in the wall to a technical zone and includes the control, both drives and the WIP equipment. It can be upgraded with, for example, a vacuum system for drying the granules. Then there are the moveable process unit(s). A moveable process unit consists of a mixing bowl with the bearings and seals for the tools.

During docking, the process unit is moved to the basic unit. Then the locking is effected automatically.
