A rapid mix granulator is a multi-purpose mixer/processor equally suitable for high speed dispersion of dry powders (including effervescent powders) and their granulation with aqueous or organic solvents. The equipment is designed to achieve rapid mixing and the formation of consistent granules required for the production of high quality pharmaceutical tablets for solid dosage forms of medication. Good mixing and control of granule size leads to fast tableting speeds and high quality products with low rejection rate.
