With the VMA granulator, the mixing, high-shear wet granulation and drying (vacuum drying, carrier-gas drying, or drying by microwave heat) are all carried out in one container. The VMA product range includes classic mixer granulators with agitator and chopper units and a top-drive system.

Two stirrers produce a shearing action and loosen the product. This helps to prevent clumping and ensures that

the resulting granule is of optimum quality. The GMP-compliant process tank with double jacket is “the heart of the VMA.” The main units are integrated in the granulation pot’s lid (Top-Drive). The process tank is emptied through a cone-shaped sieve (BTS 200) via the floor outlet into a container (IBC).

Formula-controlled cleaning is carried out automatically. The VMA produces batch sizes from 20 to 960 litres and can be installed in potentially explosive environments.
