Our Disc Granulator: The Ultimate Guide to Revolutionizing Your Granulation Process

Unveiling the Power of Disc Granulation

Disc granulation is a revolutionary granulation technique that transforms fine powders into uniform, spherical granules. Our disc granulator stands as a testament to this innovative technology, delivering exceptional performance and versatility.

What is Disc Granulation?

Disc granulation involves feeding a fine powder onto a rotating disc. As the disc spins, the powder is subjected to a combination of shear forces and centrifugal acceleration, causing the particles to agglomerate and form granules.

Benefits of Disc Granulation

Our disc granulator offers a myriad of benefits that elevate your granulation process:

• Improved granule properties: Disc granulation produces spherical granules with consistent size distribution, reducing variability and enhancing downstream processing.
• Enhanced flowability: Spherical granules exhibit excellent flowability, facilitating handling, storage, and dosage.
• Reduced dust generation: Disc granulation minimizes dust emission, creating a safer and cleaner work environment.
• Increased bioavailability: Improved granule properties enhance the bioavailability of active ingredients, leading to enhanced efficacy.
• Versatility: Our disc granulator offers exceptional compatibility with a wide range of powders, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and chemicals.

FAQs

1. What is the difference between disc granulation and fluidized bed granulation?

Disc granulation involves agglomerating powders on a rotating disc using shear forces and centrifugal acceleration, while fluidized bed granulation suspends powders in a stream of hot air and sprays a binder solution to create granules.

2. How do I determine the optimal granulation speed for my powder?

The optimal granulation speed depends on powder characteristics. Start with a low speed and gradually increase it until you achieve the desired granule size and distribution.

3. Can I use our disc granulator to granulate heat-sensitive materials?

Yes, you can. Our disc granulator can be equipped with cooling jets to prevent overheating and preserve the integrity of heat-sensitive materials.

4. How often should I clean my disc granulator?

Cleaning frequency depends on the type of material being granulated. Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and prevents contamination.

5. Where can I get spare parts for my disc granulator?

We offer a comprehensive range of spare parts for our disc granulator. Contact our team to order spare parts and ensure uninterrupted operation.
