The new laboratory roller compactor machine is used for dry granulation of pharmaceutical ingredients in the pharmaceutical industry, in food as well as the chemical industry for densification and granulation of powder. The dry compaction of the powder between two rollers on high pressure for increased bulk density, making granules, dust-free processing, and reducing packing size.
The material in the form of powder passes through the two counter-rotating rolls of roller compactor under very high pressure. As the volume decreases through the region of maximum pressure, the material is formed into a solid compact sheet or flakes of ingredients. These flakes or compact sheets of ingredients are reduced in size to obtain the desired grain size. The machine takes extra care to prevent the generation of fines during this process.
