Oscillating Granulator

The Oscillating Granulator is designed for controlled granule formation, particle size reduction, and sizing of suitable wet and dry pharmaceutical materials. It operates using an oscillating rotor that moves back and forth against a selected screen, applying mechanical pressure and shearing action to process the material into granules of the required size characteristics.

Intence Engineering offers Oscillating Granulators as part of its pharmaceutical milling and granulation equipment portfolio. The equipment supports the processing of wet granulated masses, reduction of oversized dry granules, and preparation of materials for downstream solid dosage manufacturing. Appropriate rotor, screen, and operating configurations are selected according to formulation requirements and material characteristics.

Applications of Oscillating Granulator

1. Wet Granule Formation: Processing suitably prepared wet powder masses through a selected screen to form granules for subsequent drying operations.
2. Dry Granule Sizing: Breaking down oversized dry granules to achieve suitable particle characteristics for pharmaceutical blending and tablet manufacturing.
3. Powder De-Agglomeration: Reducing compatible powder lumps and agglomerated materials through controlled oscillating movement and screen-based processing.
4. Solid Dosage Material Preparation: Preparing granules for downstream drying, blending, tablet compression, and capsule filling operations according to the manufacturing process requirements.

Key Features

• Oscillating Rotor Mechanism: Uses a back-and-forth rotor movement to process suitable materials against a screening surface.
• Screen-Based Granule Formation: Material passes through selected screen openings to support the required granule size characteristics.
• Wet and Dry Processing: Oscillating granulation technology is suitable for processing selected wet masses and dry granulated materials.
• Controlled Size Reduction: The combined action of the rotor and screen supports the breakdown of oversized particles and suitable agglomerates.
• Gentle Granule Handling: Oscillating movement can provide a relatively gentle sizing action when compared with certain high-speed milling processes.
• Flexible Screen Selection: Different screen openings and constructions can be selected based on product requirements.
• Batch Process Integration: Supports granulation and sizing operations within pharmaceutical solid dosage processing workflows.
• Material Preparation: Helps achieve suitable granule characteristics for subsequent manufacturing stages.
