Types of Wet Granulators

• Planetary mixer can be used for wet mixing (planetary mixers are used for dry mixing as well). If dry components are required to be mixed together, the prior use of specific dry mixers (depending on the nature of the powder) will be needed. They will then be added into the mixing vessel.
• High shear granulator. This type of granulator usually comprises mixing bowl with a bottom entry impeller and a side mounted chopper. Impeller is needed for mixing ingredients and chopper for further granulation. All dry ingredients are agitated into the mixing bowl and then run the chopper blade in order to achieve granulation. The binding agent is added during the blending process through a spraying nozzle.
• Fluidized bed granulator. Powder granules are fluidized using streams of air. In this type of granulator, the liquid properties of the powder allow a homogeneous granulation. The liquid may be heated before it is sprayed into the bed of powder.
