Whether you need to achieve a specific particle size and distribution for tablet compression, or mill heat-sensitive materials, Fitzpatrick can provide the best solution to fulfil your specific processing objectives.
The pre-compression force is supplied by the vertical feed screw. This force is necessary for the rolls to draw the material into the nip region and properly compress the material.
Roll horizontally oriented to assist deaeration and pre-compression.
The vertical feed screw deaerates and compresses powder before compaction by the rolls. Co-ordinated control of these components is critical to optimizing densification.
The floating roll ensures consistent pressure. A dual hydraulic system ensures ‘floating’ rolls precise force for uniform compacts. Precise parallel roll forces are achieved using linear bearings.
Roll gap monitored via a linear variable differential transducer. Automatic gap control is achieved through operator interface. No external adjustments are required.
Roll surface selection is product-dependent. Establishes friction between product and roll surface.
Two milling alternatives:
Instantaneous & continuous compacting of powders
