The Rapid Mixer Granulator was developed in close co-operation with pharmaceutical and chemical industry. With the help of RMG wet sifting is generally no longer necessary. After the mixing of the dry components, subsequent wet granulation occurs (without transfer of dry mixture) producing loose granules in RMG. RMG is specially designed to meet the GMP requirements of the pharmaceutical industry.
Working Principle
The RMG working principle is based on 2 decisive factors essential for the mixing systems.
1.
Spinning close to the bottom of the mixing bowl.
2.
The impeller sets the entire mixture in a whirling-rising tumbling motion ensuring a quick and even distribution of all dry components which leads to an even distribution of all dry components which leads to an even wetting of every granule. The large lumps occurred during wet mixing are broken up, by the strategically located chopping tool rotating at 1440/2880 RPM. The mix can be discharged with the impeller running through the outlet located on the side of the mixing bowl flush to the bottom. Easy accessibility for cleaning is guaranteed by the low profile. The mixing tool is easily removed from the drive shaft providing an unobstructed mixing area which may be cleaned very easily
Control Panel
•
Control Panel is made up of S. S. sheet metal.
•
It is with special feature DISPLAY SYSTEM and MICROPROCESSOR with member keys.
•
Display system consists of indicator lamps for compressed air supply, main motor, chopper motor, bowl lid limit switch and for closed / open status of discharge valve.
•
In case of insufficient compressed air supply pressure switch contained in the panel will prevent the machine from starting.
•
Limit switch is provided on main bowl lid, and discharge valve, which will de-energise the system when the lid is open.

A. C. variant.
•
Dust free feeding system.
•
Vacuum drying system.
•
Jacketted vessel for heating or cooling.
•
Binder solution adding and cleaning in place (CIP) in built.
Mixing Bowl
•
Dome shaped processing bowl which directs loose particles into whirling motion with the help of impeller.
•
Impeller consists of 2 full and 2 half solid mixing blades.
•
Inclination of the mixing blades accelerates rising and tumbling motion of the product in the bowl.
•
Specially designed chopper blades driven at high speed gives fast and even granulation, throughout the whole mass in the product bowl.
•
For easy accessibility in cleaning the side discharge assembly is provided with hinges.
