Rapid Mixer Granulator principal (RMG)

Rapid Mixer Granulator principal (RMG)

A Rapid Mixer Granulator principal works on the principle of high-speed mixing and shear-induced granulation. The process starts by loading dry powders into a horizontally mounted mixing bowl. A centrally located impeller rotates at high speed to vigorously mix and lift the powders, while a chopper mounted on the side breaks down any lumps and promotes uniform distribution.

(FAQs)

1. What is an RMG used for?
   It is used for mixing powders and forming wet granules in pharmaceutical, food, chemical, and cosmetic industries.
2. Why is RMG preferred in pharmaceutical manufacturing?
   Because it reduces batch time, ensures uniform granules, and minimizes contamination risk.
3. What materials can be processed in an RMG?
   APIs, excipients, starch, flavorings, industrial powders, and more.
4. How is the granulation process controlled?
   Through programmable settings for impeller/chopper speeds, binder flow rate, and process time.
5. What are the main components of an RMG?
   Mixing bowl, impeller, chopper, binder spray system, discharge port, and control panel.
6. What type of granules are produced?
   Dense, uniform, and free-flowing granules ideal for downstream processes like tablet compression.
7. How is contamination avoided?
   RMGs operate in a sealed, closed system to prevent external contamination.
8. Can RMG process heat-sensitive materials?
   Yes, but with precise moisture and temperature control during granulation.
9. Is the machine CIP (Clean-In-Place) compatible?
   Many modern RMGs include automated cleaning systems for GMP compliance.
10. How long does a typical batch take?
    Between 5–20 minutes, depending on the material and batch size.
