ConsiGma®
ConsiGma® 1 - R&D Granulation and Drying
Based on proven continuous twin-screw granulation technology, the ConsiGma® 1 has been designed for the small-scale development of continuous granulation processes.
The system comprises the same twin-screw granulator as the smallest unit of the ConsiGma® CTL lines and a small dryer that’s similar to one of the drying segments. This allows you to develop your products on the same scale with product quantities starting from just a few 100 grams up to a few kilograms. The results are directly transferrable to the standard size ConsiGma® CTL.
The ConsiGma® 1 is ideal for pharmaceutical companies who wish to develop a continuous granulation process before the fully integrated production line is installed.
Standard Configuration
- One powder feeder
- One liquid addition system
- Twin-screw granulator
- One dryer segment
Available Options
- Brabender or Ktron Feeder
- Standalone ConsiGma® 1 w/out dryer segment
- Solvent-compatible
