Production Scale Milling Equipment | Sizing & Screening Platform

Introducing our next-generation innovation which brings together our leading milling and sifting technology from Quadro & Fitzpatrick. The SDx™ Series offers customers superior production-scale milling and screening capabilities.

The SDx^™ Series is available to purchase as a standalone format of the U20x Comil^®, D6Ax Fitzmill^™ or the S20x FlexSift, or alternatively, multiple heads can be purchased to be used on the one base. These heads can be quickly interchanged when the SMARTdetect^™ technology is included in the package.

The SDx^™ Series platform will not only replicate the results of your current Comil^®, Fitzmill^™ or FlexSift, but enhance them. Improved housing designs enable easier cleaning and a greaseless gearbox reduces the risk of batch contamination and lowers the operating temperature. With an extensive range of screens and tooling, PSD and throughput targets can be more readily achieved.

By using multiple heads on one base unit, there is a lower cost of purchase and upkeep. The SMARTdetect^™ technology in the control panel recognizes which head is installed and adjusts the RPM automatically, no need to spend time in setup, rest assured that the equipment is set and ready to go.

U20x Comil^®

CONICAL MILLING

High-Performance Conical Milling.

When processing APIs, polymer-based hot melt extrusions and dry oral solid dosage powders, hammer milling could be the answer. Within the SDx production-scale platform, the D6Ax FitzMill™ is chosen as it offers maximum efficiency with minimum product retention, producing higher yields, lower milling temperatures and high throughputs.

The simple, 4-piece design of the chamber ensures complete access to all product contact surfaces for cleaning and eliminating contamination concerns, assuring 100% cleaning verification. The head is easily removed and installed onto the shaft for cleaning.

A variety of infeed chambers are available and include a cooling infeed for heat-sensitive products.

DELUMPING & SCREENING

In-line security screening.

The S20x FlexSift is frequently chosen for efficient deagglomeration or security screening. The simple, in-line, modular design makes it easy to integrate.

One unit can replace 3-7 traditional vibratory sifters whilst achieving similar capacities. What’s more, when compared to similar technologies the S20x can deliver 40-50% more capacity thanks to the unique screen designs and can meet OELs <1ug/m3.

The unique greaseless sanitary gearbox offers batch reliability by mitigating the risk of contamination and lowering the operating temperatures which protects the powder. With a variety of screens available, it is easy to achieve production targets.
