New TFC - Labo 'Bench-Top' Roller Compactor From Vector Corporation

A laboratory development size roller compactor has been added to Vector Corporation's roller compactor product line to allow minute quantities of materials to be processed. The product line processing capacities now range from a minimum of 20 grams to a maximum of 600 plus kilos per hour of material.

The TFC – Labo Roller Compactor is a bench-top roller compaction system for dry powder compaction and granulation with a through put capacity of 20 – 100 grams. Uniform compacted sheets are produced with consistent hardness and density. This unit is designed for product development and for clinical supply manufacturing.

A cantilevered roll design provides easy changeover and removal of the rolls for process flexibility and cleaning. The stainless steel tapered single screw feeder de-aerates and pre-compacts the material as it is fed into the roll compaction zone. An optional rotary granulating mill is available to process the compacted material into granules. A manual process control system provides control and a digital readout for the roll and screw speed. Roll compaction pressure is manually adjusted and has a pressure gauge for the pressure setting. Power source is 100/110, 50/60, 1 Phase.
