Scalable, Precise Granulation
Fitzpatrick’s Contained Roller Compaction Systems provide a seamless continuum from pilot to production-scale dry granulation. Available in both IR (standard) and CCS (high-containment) lines, these roller compactors combine dual-feed screw deaeration, consistent roll geometry, and bolt-on granulators for tightly controlled ribbon formation. The premium CCS range adds product containment, nitrogen inerting, wash-in-place features, and advanced automation—ideal for applications demanding clean, precise, and regulatory-compliant operation.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Scalable Workflow Across Six Models: From IR 520 pilot systems to full production IR 4Lx10D, and CCS 220 through CCS 1025 series, users enjoy predictable performance and exact roll format replication.
- Robust Product Containment: CCS Series features high-sealing housings, optional vacuum/N₂ inerting, and PCS discharge to achieve OEB4–OEB5 safety levels—ideal for dust-sensitive processes.
- Twin-Screw Pre-Compression Feeding: Dedicated vertical and horizontal feeder screws effectively deaerate powders, ensuring consistent ribbon density and reducing fines.
- Wash-In-Place & Ease-of-Clean Design: CCS units feature WIP spray headers, hydraulic roll spread for cleaning, and radiused housings, minimizing downtime and contamination.
- Advanced Control & GMP-Compliant Automation: Integrated PID roll-gap controls, load cells, fully automated HMI with 21 CFR Part 11 options streamline validation and process logging.
