6. The unique action created by the movement of the mixing elements produce intense but gentle intermingling of the materials of the mix in a mechanically fluidized bed. Liquid dispersion is done by spraying liquids against fluidized powder, by Top and / or Bottom Mounted Nozzles. Mixing elements are designed to force the product into appro- priate components of axial & radial motion. High-Speed Blending Choppers enhance mixing action by controlling particle size and trace ingredient dispersion, usually without the need for additional process steps. The “Fluidized Bed” Operation for Mixing & Drying: The unique mixing action of the FKM series mixers is accomplished by a horizontal shaft which revolves at a high rate of speed rapidly projecting and hurling the mix materials away from the vessel wall into free space, filling the entire vessel. The mixing action causes the materials to crisscross in the direction of the vessel walls and inversely back again, providing a high volume rate of material transfer. The mechanically fluidized bed of particles is the basis of it´s mixing efficiency and accuracy, including mixtures with diverse specific gravities as well as other problems such as liquid incorporation and heat transfer.

12. Dry Product Drying in The Littleford. 1.-High efficiency drying of Suspensions, pastes, and bulk materials. 2.-Fast drying cycles and discharge. 3.-Allows efficient drying of sensitive materials at low Temperatures. 4.-Complete dispersion of agglomerates, lumps and fiber bundles. 5.-Homogeneous mixing of dissimilar ingredients. 6.-Drying operations from liquid state to free-flowing powder in one vessel. 7.-Allows liquid addition during processing. 8.-Adapts itself to effective recovery of costly solvents. 9.-Eliminates need for additional processing equipment. The Key to this State-of-the Art drying technology is the unique, mechanically fluidized ploughshare ction which agitates and individualize the solid particles to be dried. The ploughshare action forces the product into a 3-dimensions motion that individualizes each particle, continuously exposing tremendous surface area for drying. The particles constantly contact one another, and the heated interior walls of the jacketed vessel furthering the drying process. Our dryers are also equipped with independently operated, high shear choppers, to reduce the particle size of the lumps or agglomerates, to expose undried materials and ensure thoroughly dried particle interior. Deagglomeration further shortens drying time. Heated Pulse Back Filter with Stack. Wet Product Condenser Littleford Dryer. Recovery Tank. Vacuum Pump.

PASTE GRANULE POWDER M O I S T U R E Internal Drying without Choppers External Drying with Choppers DRYING TIME Advance Drying The Chopper Advantages in Drying: Fast, efficient drying without lump formation The action of the turbulent plows and the high shear choppers reduce the forming lumps to smaller granules, thus exposing large amounts of new surface area for drying.

15. Granulation Validation Cycle Time vs. Power (Watts) Stop Liquid Addition P o Large Granules Medium Granules Small Granules w e r D e m a n d Start Dry Mix Cycle Time Start Liquid Addition Granulating The FKM Advantage Littleford mixers/granulators, equipped with plow-like mixing tools, develop an intermediate intensity mix action, which is gentle, yet thorough. This action is supplemented by high shear choppers, which quickly disperse minor liquid, or powder ingredients. In a typical run, the excipient and the powdered active ingredient are charged to the static granulator and mixed, with choppers, for several minutes, until the power curve levels off, indicating that dispersion is complete. Then the agglomerating liquids are sprayed into the active chopper field, where they are quickly dispersed into the batch. The degree of granulation, and thus the amount of power utilized, is dependent upon the amount of liquid added to the batch, so as of the wet mix batch time. The action of the curved-sided plows guarantees more spherical granules, and the choppers action controls particle size distribution.

16. Granulation Cycle: 2 to 5 Minutes. Reduction in Granulating Solution. Less Drying Time, due to the above. Excellent Granules Flow Properties. Mixing and Granulating in the same Vessel: 10 Min. for Both Operations. Wet Granulation Littleford Advanced Solutions The various ingredients are weighted and fed to the Littleford Mixer / Granulator, by hand or vacuum- feed systems. Pre-Milling to eliminate lumps that may have formed in storage is not required, as the“choppers” deagglomerate these during the cycle. Complete uniformity of mix is usually attained in about One Minute. Most pharmaceutical companies mix an additional 2 minutes to complete deagglomeration and dispersion of dry colors Following the dry mix cycle, the gra- nulation solution is fed to the mixer through 1/2” liquid injectors mounted over high speed blending choppers Spray nozzles are not always required as the choppers quickly disperse the liquids. Due to the de- gree of dispersion attained, a reduc- tion in the amount of granulation solution is usually possible, if compared to low-shear systems. 10 to 20% in starch paste reduction is typical. Even greater reductions are attained with alcohol granulations. Liquid reduction great- ly enhances drying times. The introduction & dispersion of the granulating solution depends on the batch size. Usually requires 2-3 Minutes. When granulation is done, it is clearly reflec- ted in the Drive Current. Cycle is instrumentated for accurate reproduci- bility. Following the distribution of the granulating solution, the action of the choppers change from disper- sion to agglomerate control. Over sized agglomerates are constantly broken up and reformed into fairly uniform spheres. The size is based on cycle length Discharge consists of spheres. Over 90% yield ready for shelf or fluidized bed drying without wet screening.
