Spheroidizers are used to extrude raw material or particles into pellets. This equipment is being used byspheroidizer pharmaceutical industry to manufacture various size pellets. The process involves agglomeration of active pharmaceutical ingredients and forming them into spherically shaped beads also known as pellets.
A wet mixture of active pharmaceutical ingredients is extruded, broken down and rounded in a spheronizer. Spheroidizers are also referred to as spheronizers. This type of machine provides a spherical product that is more higher performing and attractive final granular product form than unspheronized. Pharmaceutical spheronizers are available with varied capacities.
