The operation of wet and dry granulators is based on the principle of particle size reduction and agglomeration. Both wet and dry granulation can be performed using a variety of granulator types, including high-speed mixers, oscillating granulators, and fluid bed granulators. The choice of granulator type will depend on the specific characteristics of the materials being processed, as well as the desired granule size and production capacity.

PMS offers a compact machine that can be used for both wet and dry granulation processes, making it a valuable tool for many industries. It is designed to comply with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements and ensure that product contact parts are completely separated from technical components, providing a clean and oil/grease-free operating chamber.

In wet granulation, a liquid binder is added to the powder mixture to create a moist mass. The mixture is then forced through a to create granules of the desired size. The liquid binder helps to form the granules and acts as a binding agent.

In dry granulation, the powder mixture is compacted and then crushed or milled into granules of the desired size. No liquid binder is added, but the pressure and compression forces applied to the powder mixture help to agglomerate the particles and create the desired granule size.

PMS Granulator® is a versatile and compact machine that can be used for both wet and dry granulation processes, making it a valuable tool for many industries. It is designed to comply with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements and ensure that product contact parts are completely separated from technical components, providing a clean and oil/grease-free operating chamber.

The main functions of PMS Granulator® are to reduce particle sizes of agglomerates to a desired dimension and improve particle size distribution. This is achieved through screen mesh selection and gap setting between the rotor and screen, which allows for precise control over the particle size.

Agglomerates are fed through the top inlet hopper and flow into the granulating chamber, where continuous shearing force is applied to press out granules through wire mesh (for dry granulation) or a cylindrical shredder (for wet granulation). The resulting refined particles are then discharged through the bottom port into a product container.

Overall, PMS Granulator® is a reliable and efficient machine that can greatly improve the efficiency of particle size reduction and granulation processes, while ensuring a high level of quality and compliance with industry standards. PMS offers 4 Sizes of the Machines to accommodate from laboratory use to large production.
