ALEXANDERWERK WP 120

ALEXANDERWERK ROLLER COMPACTOR, MODEL WP 120

Year of construction: 2016

The WP 120 Pharma was specially designed by Alexanderwerk for use in pharmaceutical research and development areas. Designed as a mobile unit, meets the demand for mobility and flexibility in R&D and pilot plant. The control system and the operating unit are integrated in the machine. Process parameters determined for a later production scale can be easily transferred to larger machines.

Due to its modular design, the process technology of the WP 120 Pharma can be completely disassembled without special tools; the modular design also guarantees fast changing and cleaning of all working tools and meets the requirements for flexible production.

Machinery size

Weight (incl. control system): approx. 825 kg Dimensions (HxWxD): approx. 1,635 mm x 1,450 mm x 924 mm

Production

Minimum product quantities: from 1 g. Throughputs of up to 50 kg/h (basing on lactose) can be processed with the standard roller width of 40 mm into granulates of various sizes. This enables use with special products and smaller batches in the pilot plant and in the small scale production area under constant and reproducible production conditions. Roller diameter: 120 mm Roller width: 40 mm / 25 mm (Minimal Production – optional module) Maximal roller gap: 4 mm Maximal roller speed: 15 rpm Maximal pressure force: 20 kN/cm
