What is Rapid Mixer Granulator?

Rapid Mixer Granulator is a versatile processor widely used for mixing the ingredients and wet granulation for tablet and capsule manufacturing process.

What is the Principle Of Rapid Mixer Granulator?

The Rapid Mixer Granulator is mixing equipment that contains bottom entry agitator and side-mounted chopper for effective granulation of materials in various industries. The RMG Machine is used for the applications of wet mixing, dry blending, and preparation of dough & granulation. It functions on the principle of agitation of the materials of the bowl at modest speed following with the running of specially designed cutter blade at high speeds into the wet mass. The mixing time of the processing depends on the number of ingredients and their particle size.

What is Purging Air in RMG?

Generally, purging air is used to flush the industrial process equipment with clean air. Purging Air helps to keep the surfaces of RMG (Granulation Machine) clean and help in maintaining its effective performance.

What is Granulation in Pharma?

In general, granulation is a process that is used for producing granules. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, the granulation process is widely used to mix powdered particles to form granules for the production of tablets. The pharmaceutical manufacturers primarily use Pharma Saizoner, also known as, High Shear Mixers for granulation.

Why is Granulation Necessary?

Granulation is an important process in tablet manufacturing. As a result of the granulation process, the particles stick together firmly which helps in increasing the particle size. High shear granulation machine efficiently executes the process of fast dry & wet mixing, and granulating of the powder.

What is Granulation End Point?

Granulation end-point in the wet granulation process can be defined by the formulator as a target particle size mean or distribution and after reaching the desired end-point, the granule properties and the tablet properties become similar. The main aim of any measurement in a granulation process is to estimate the viscosity and density of the granules. It is useful for getting an indication of the particle size mean and distribution.

What is Wet Granulation Method?

Wet granulation is the process of adding the liquid solution to dry powders, which involves the massing of dry powder particles with the help of granulating fluid. The wet granulator is used for the production of wet granules. The complexity of the wet granulation process depends on the characteristics of powder and the equipment.

What is Dry Granulation Process?

The dry granulation process is used for forming granules without any liquid solution. It is most suitable for the materials that are moisture-sensitive, heat-sensitive or do not compress well. Dry Powder granulator effectively executes this process with compacting and size reduction of the mix to create a free-flowing blend of uniform size. The primary powder particles are aggregated at high pressure with the help of high shear mixer granulator.
