Conical rotor processor
Granurex conical rotor processor pro-
duces 100- to 1,000-micron particles
containing 90 percent API. Applications
include powder-coating and layering,
solution/suspension coating, spherical
granulation, and drying. Unit switches
between agglomeration, film-coating,
and powder-layering modes with simple
parametric changes. Spherically
agglomerated active core can quickly be
given barrier coating so that incompati-
ble API can be powder-layered over it,
creating a multi-layered bead for use in
multi-particulate dosage forms. Yields
reach 95 to 99 percent with excellent
content uniformity. Slits uniformly dis-
tribute air to prevent agglomeration dur-
ing coating and ensure even coats. Duct
system introduces air directly onto
product bed for drying. Seven fluid-bed
inserts are available to process 0.5 to 200
kilograms per batch.
