Pharmapaktor Series C for active ingredient mixes

Hosokawa Micron has launched the new Pharmapaktor Series C, designed for the predensification of active ingredient mixes.

The press agglomeration operating principle of the Pharmapaktor, where material is forced through two counter rotating rollers, and the combination of high pressures and Van der Waals forces produces a compacted product. The shape is determined by the roll surface; smooth surfaces producing flakes and fluted ones, granules.

Horizontal screws dose the material into a vertical predensification screw from which the actual controlled feed to the compacting rolls takes place. Vacuum de-aeration is applied to the nip area of the rolls in order to achieve a higher efficiency and reduce the amount of particles. The exhaust air system is equipped with a HEPA filter.
