Rotary Powder Shifter
General Description
Function: A rotary powder shifter is used for sieving and separating fine powders, granules, and particles in pharmaceutical applications, ensuring consistent particle size and removing contaminants.
Application: Ideal for processing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), excipients, and granulated products in compliance with GMP standards
Technical Specifications
- Capacity: Throughput: 5-500 kg/hour (depending on mesh size and product characteristics).
- Material of Construction: Contact parts: Stainless Steel 316L (GMP compliant). Non-contact parts: Stainless Steel 304.
- Mesh Size: Customizable mesh sizes ranging from 10 to 500 microns.
Rotor Speed: Variable speed (100-1500 RPM), adjustable via VFD (Variable Frequency Drive). - Dimensions: Compact and modular design for easy integration into existing systems.
- Length x Width x Height: Customizable based on model.
Weight: Typically 50-300 kg (depending on model and application).
Operational Features
- Drive Mechanism: Direct drive or belt-driven motor.
- Rotor Design: Helical blades or paddle type for efficient sieving and minimal material retention.
- Discharge Mechanism: Gravity-based or vacuum-assisted discharge.
- Feed Type: Continuous or batch feed options
Electrical Specifications
- Power Supply: 230V/50Hz for single-phase or 415V/50Hz for three-phase. Power: 0.5 – 3 HP, depending on capacity.
- Control Panel:PLC-based control with touch screen HMI. Features for speed control, monitoring, and alarms.
- Safety Features: Overload protection. Emergency stop button.
Hygienic Design
- Compliance: cGMP and FDA-compliant design. Smooth, crevice-free surfaces to prevent powder accumulation.
- Cleaning: Tool-free disassembly for easy cleaning and maintenance.
CIP (Clean-in-Place) compatible. - Sealing: Dust-tight seals to prevent contamination and product loss
Optional Features
- Vacuum Transfer System: For closed-loop transfer of materials.
- Explosion-Proof Design: ATEX-certified models for handling flammable powders.
- Integrated Weighing System: For precise material dosing.
- Noise Reduction: Insulated housing for low-noise operation (<70 dB).
Applications
- API sieving before blending.
- Final check sieving before packaging.
- Separation of over- or undersized
- particles during granulation
Advantages
- Gentle size reduction with minimal heat generation.
- Uniform particle size distribution.
- Modular and compact design for easy integration into production lines.
- Low maintenance and operational costs.
- Easy to clean and GMP compliant.
