The Thermo Scientific™ Pharma 11 Chill Roll Pharmaceutical Processing System provides precision cooling and flaking for pharmaceutical extrusion operations.
This adaptable method converts hot extruded material from fluid strands into solid, flat films with a controlled thickness of 0.2 to 2 mm.
The integrated Flaker Unit subsequently processes the material into uniform flakes, providing pharmaceutical researchers and manufacturers with a comprehensive solution for material transformation with exact control over film thickness and flake size.
Product features
The Pharma 11 Chill Roll system can provide pharmaceutical manufacturers and researchers with a comprehensive solution for cooling and flaking extruded materials. Designed to operate as an integrated component with the Pharma 11 Extruder, it ensures seamless process connectivity and efficient material handling.
- Dual cooling roller system: The device includes two precision cooling rollers that convert hot extruded material into flat films with customizable thicknesses ranging from 0.2 to 2 mm. The primary cooling roller (108 mm diameter, 110 mm width) works in tandem with a secondary cooling roller (57 mm diameter, 110 mm width) to guarantee even cooling and film formation.
- Integrated Flaker Unit: The built-in Flaker Unit converts the treated film into homogeneous flakes for additional processing or final product form. The flaker has factory settings of 40 RPM and a maximum speed of 300 RPM, making it suitable for processing a wide range of materials.
- Precise control: The system enables variable product speed (0-2.5 m/min) and throughput capacity (0-3 kg/h), providing optimal processing control. The intuitive touch display interface makes it simple to retrieve operating parameters, monitor alarms, and modify settings.
- User-friendly operation: The touch display features an overview panel with clear visualizations of actual and target values, enabling operators to make rapid adjustments while processing. The interface provides alarm monitoring and settings administration to ensure smooth functioning.
- Safety features: The system has several safety measures, including an emergency stop button, a cooling roller cover, a pressure roller unit, and a particular safety door that monitors nozzle access protection. These safety measures safeguard the operator during all phases of operation.
- Pharmaceutical-grade design: The Pharma 11 Chill Roll is designed specifically for pharmaceutical applications, meeting high production requirements with suitable materials and cleanability characteristics. The collection tray facilitates sample collection and quality checking throughout processing.
