As a direct result of extensive customer research over the past several years, The Fitzpatrick Company is now pleased to introduce the LCS – Lab Compaction System, a low-volume benchtop model for R&D and trial batch dry granulation production.
The LCS is perfect for handling smaller volumes of powder, whether that be for proof-of-concept or for smallest volume production. It has been tested down to 10g of test material having a moderate bulk density. However, should the bulk density be lower, the volume achieved will likewise be even lower.
The LCS Features & Benefits
- Truly a benchtop model that can handle capacities of up to 6 kg/hr.
- Will work well for installations wanting to use it as their production machine, provided the batch sizes are especially small.
- Can be used to produce small batches for product testing or clinical trials.
- LCS funnel works well for small volume production & small sample sizes.
- The compact produced can be easily replicated on a production-scale model.
- Ideal for producing highly potent drugs and owing to its size can easily be configured within a containment system.
- Manufactured with Fitzpatrick’s high-precision, twin feed screw system – processes powders using the same mechanism as larger production-scale systems.
- Ensures development projects can progress to production with confidence.
- Available 20 kN/cm roll force is equivalent to production-scale systems & matches the requirement for most pharmaceutical blends.
- Features touchpad control of all independent feed & compaction variables.
