A Basket Extruder is a specialized type of extrusion equipment used primarily in the pharmaceutical industry for the continuous mixing, kneading, and extrusion of high-viscosity materials. It consists of a cylindrical basket or screen through which material is forced by a rotating screw. Basket extruders are crucial for the production of pharmaceutical formulations such as tablets, where precise mixing and homogenization are critical.
Umang’s Basket Extruder is the lowest pressure extruder available. The wet mix, which is typically prepared in a kneader, pug mixer or high shear granulator (pharma), is metered into the feed hopper by a feeder or hand fed.
Prepared material is fed into a perforated basket which also serves as the extrusion screen. The material is forced through the screen by rotating blades.
Blade speed and gap can be adjusted. The fine granules produced collect in a polished stainless steel receiving pan.
The Benchtop Granulator sets up quickly, ready for immediate use. All process wetted parts are made of stainless steel and disassemble easily for cleaning.
The Umang Basket Extruder includes different perforated screens ranging between -0.5mm to 3.0mm diameter holes.
