INDUSTRY
Pharmaceutical — GMP Powder Processing Equipment
OVERVIEW
Regulatory-Compliant Equipment for Pharma Manufacturing
Pharmaceutical manufacturing demands the highest levels of contamination control, cleanability, and process validation. Saturn Machinery's pharma-grade equipment is built for GMP environments: mirror-polished SS316L (Ra ≤ 0.4μm), crevice-free construction, CIP/SIP compatibility, and full IQ/OQ/PQ documentation packages. Our double cone and V-shape mixers are the go-to choice for API blending, tablet granulation, and excipient mixing — while our plough shear mixers handle wet granulation and coating processes with validated uniformity.
VALIDATION & COMPLIANCE
GMP-Ready Design Features
IQ/OQ/PQ Documentation
Full Installation, Operational, and Performance Qualification packages for regulatory submission.
Mirror Polish SS316L
Ra ≤ 0.4μm surface finish. Passivated and electropolished for cleanability and corrosion resistance.
CIP / WIP Compatible
Spray balls, self-draining design, quick-release shaft seals. Validated cleaning protocols.
21 CFR Part 11
PLC with audit trail, electronic signatures, batch recording, and data integrity controls available.
APPLICATIONS
Pharma & Nutraceutical Applications
API Blending
Uniform distribution of active pharmaceutical ingredients into excipients. Double cone and V-shape mixers deliver gentle, homogeneous blends with batch uniformity validated to pharmacopeia standards.
Tablet Granulation
Wet and dry granulation for tablet compression. Plough shear mixers with high-speed choppers produce dense, free-flowing granules in 1–3 minute cycles.
Excipient Blending
Pre-mixing of fillers, binders, disintegrants, and lubricants. Ribbon mixers handle large-volume excipient preparation with consistent results.
Nutraceuticals & Supplements
Protein powders, vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts. GMP-grade V-shape and double cone mixers at 50L–500L lab and pilot scale.
RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT
Pharma-Grade Equipment
Double Cone Mixer (DCM Series)
The industry standard for pharmaceutical blending. Mirror-polished SS316L (Ra ≤ 0.4μm), CIP-compatible, full IQ/OQ/PQ documentation. No dead zones, complete discharge, validated mixing uniformity. Available 50L–5,000L.
Plough Shear Mixer (LDH Series)
High-shear wet granulation with optional vacuum drying. Fluidized bed action + multi-chopper for uniform granule size. 0.3L lab to 15,000L production scale.
V-Shape Mixer (V Series)
Ideal for R&D, pilot batches, and clinical trial material. 5L–3,000L. Simple, cleanable, validated. Often paired with bin charging/transfer systems.
Vacuum Conveyor (VC Series)
Fully enclosed transfer from mixer to tablet press or capsule filler. Prevents cross-contamination. HEPA-filtered exhaust available.
