Gerteis - Roller Compactor Dry Granulators

Gerteis® is a Swiss manufacturer of advanced high quality roller compactor dry granulators who have set the standard with their unique dry granulation technology. Their understanding of the dry granulation process combined with patented roller compaction systems make Gerteis® the technology leaders in the field of dry granulation.

Roller compaction is becoming an increasingly important agglomeration technology for producing granules, as the pharmaceutical industry looks at ways in which it can introduce lean manufacturing to reduce its R&D and manufacturing costs.

Not every formulation can be granulated on a conventional roller compactor. However, the Gerteis® roller compactor has several unique patented roller compaction technologies which allows for a far greater range of formulations to be dry granulated successfully in a Gerteis® roller compactor compared with conventional roller compactor manufacturers.

The Gerteis® roller compactor offers the following advantages:

• Unique feed system with (patented) angled rollers to ensure even very difficult flowing materials can be consistently delivered to the rollers
• Patented force control with an in-process moveable roller, producing a constant density ribbon
• Larger diameter rollers to produce a longer dwell time in the nip area
• Superior punch and die design of the rollers to provide a constant density over the ribbon width, and to virtually eliminate fines, and remove altogether the need for recirculation of the fines

Superior granulating oscillating mill, to ensure clean cutting action of the ribbon for a more consisted granule size distribution.

Gerteis® have a depth of dry granulation knowledge and experience; their team of roller compaction specialists can evaluate an application and quickly predict and establish the best roller compaction parameters to achieve the optimum dry granulation process.
