Extruder - Pharm. Aeromatic AG E-140

NIRO AEROMATIC MOD. E-140 - Extruder DESCRIPTION: The E-140 low shear extruder is a standalone machine and, with production capabilities of 500 g (batch) up to 2.0 kg/minute, the unit is equally suited for R&D as well as for small-scale production. SECTORS OF USE: Pharmaceutical, chemical, cosmetics, food, dietary, medical devices, manufacturing. MAIN FEATURES: The extruder is a radial basket-type product with two rotors that rotate within a cylindrical screen. The wet mass is gravity fed into the inner rotor, the feeder, which distributes the material into cavities between the blades on the outer rotor, the impeller. Pressure is generated in a continuous wave as these blades sweep across the inner surface of the screen. Niro extruders can be fitted with a wide range of screens with a variety of different hole diameters and wall thicknesses. Both rotors feature variable speed drives. This allows a high degree of flexibility to optimize product compaction and extrudate consistency. The system’s patented design ensures a very low temperature increase during the extrusion process and a consistent wet mass compression into an extrudable paste. These features work together to guarantee reproducible product density throughout a batch. Stainless steel product contact parts, gentle product treatment and easy to dismantle and clean. The E-140 Extruder is often integrated with a S-320 Spheronizer to form a machine combination which is able to deliver a market-leading solution for pilot-scale pellet production.
