The LCI High Shear Granulator Model SPG-2 is a benchtop device that allows researchers and new product developers to intimately and efficiently mix small batches of powders and liquids to produce homogeneous mixtures. The SPG-2 is designed for accurate mixing and fine granulation.
Dry powder is charged to the granulation chamber; the granulating liquid is atomized directly into the mechanically fluidized powder stream. The patented 3-blade design ensures minimal heat build-up, maximum agitation, and fluidization efficiency. The top blade deagglomerates large lumps and conveys the material toward the bottom of the vessel to the high-speed chopper. Powder and liquid combine to quickly produce a homogeneous mixture. The minimal residual material in the unit can be quickly flushed with a cleaning solution.
