A new rotary atomiser from Niro is the first of its type that meets cGMP requirements for the spraying of pharmaceutical products during the drying process, the company says.
The F1.5X Rotary Atomiser is designed for use with pharmaceutical spray dryers. It includes a number of design features for efficient operation and to enable the entire unit to be sterilised quickly and effectively for re-use.
Other features include: EX classification for handling potentially explosive products; sanitary design; clamp connections for fast dismantling; purge air connection for the separation of the product zone; and hot air sterilisation for all product contact parts.
The F1.5X has a wheel speed of 10,000-30,000rpm, can handle a feed rate of 1-120kg/h of product, and has a tachometer fitted as standard. The unit complies with all relevant pharmaceutical authority regulations.
