Roller Compaction Equipment for Dry Granulation

Decades of delivering world-class dry-granulation.

The CCS series offers a truly scalable growth path from models ideal for R&D development, right up to the high capacity large production-scale models.

High-quality results are thanks to our unique dual-screw feed system design which ensures the ideal conditions are created right from the outset at the critical nip area of the rolls.

Our range of CCS Roll Compactors are inherently well sealed with vacuum-tight security. But where even higher containment levels are demanded, our patented Product Containment System (PCS) with nitrogen inerting and security interlock is available.

The robust design gives you a machine with a long lifespan for a solid return on your investment. With minimal components to maintain or clean, production up-time is maximized.

All CCS models share the same design, making it easier for cleaning and maintenance as knowledge is completely transferable. Standardized HMI screens enable your Operators to run any machine. Additionally, results on lab and pilot models are directly scalable to larger units.

CCS220

R&D TO PRODUCTION

Ideal for R&D proof of concept research.

Benefits

Directly scalable to production equipment as the roll diameters are identical.
Compact, mobile unit which is easily movable.
Uses the same body as the CCS320 so retrospectively convertible to a CCS320 by changing rolls.

Model-specific options:

Isolator-ready for rigid/flexible wall.
Laminar flow booth arrangement.
Wash-in-place capabilities.
Customization is available to suit specific needs.
