Rapid Mixer Granulator (RMG) – Capacity Guide

Rapid Mixer Granulator (RMG) – Capacity Guide

A RapidMixer Granulator (RMG) is a high-performance machine designed to mix and granulate powders to form uniform granules for tablet production and other solid dosage forms. The capacity of an RMG can vary widely depending on the industry and batch size, typically ranging from 25 liters to 1200 liters or more.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  1. What is the main function of a Rapid Mixer Granulator?
    To mix dry powders and granulate them into consistent, compressible granules in a short time.
  2. What capacities are available in RMG machines?
    From 5 liters (lab use) to over 1200 liters (industrial batch production).
  3. What is the ideal working volume for an RMG?
    Usually 60–70% of the total volume for optimal granulation.
  4. What industries use RMGs?
    Primarily pharmaceutical, but also chemical, food, and nutraceutical sectors.
  5. How long does a typical batch process take?
    8 to 15 minutes on average, depending on materials and desired granule size.
  6. What materials can be processed?
    Dry powders such as APIs, excipients, starch, lactose, binders, etc.
  7. Is RMG cleaning easy and compliant with GMP?
    Yes, modern models offer CIP (Clean-in-Place) features and GMP-compliant designs.
  8. Does the RMG support automation and batch records?
    Yes, with PLC/HMI controls, SCADA integration, and 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.
  9. What is the difference between a top and bottom drive RMG?
    • Top drive: Motor is mounted above (easier cleaning).
    • Bottom drive: Compact and easier to maintain (for smaller models).
  10. What safety features are included?
    Interlocking lids, overload protection, explosion-proof motors (optional), and emergency stops.
