GMP point of view machine is provided with S. S. cladding on base, S. S. belt guards, S. S. cover on motor. No exposed painted surface on top of the machine. Motor rails, screw and guide rods are chrome plated.
Beaters assembly bearings are in separate pillow blocks for ease in maintenance.
Very less down time as only beaters assembly will have to be reversed (and not the complete chamber) for making it knife to impact forward or vice-versa which can be done by single operator.
Fixed beaters assemblies is provided as a standard supply which increase the output by 10% to 30% reduces noise level and also ease to clean as there are no cavities. (If product demands, swing beaters assembly can be provided.)
Beaters and shaft are of stainless steel 410 quality and beaters are further hardened and chrome plated. Beaters are fitted on a splined shaft.
Transmission of heat to the chamber from bearings is low as they are away in separate pillow blocks. This facilitates to some extent in processing of heat sensitive products.
Castors provided for mobility and breaks can be applied for fixing machine at one place.
Beaters assembly is dynamically balanced which reduce vibration and noise level and increases bearings life.
Machine is available in plain & water-jacketed models. Flame proof Motor can be provided on demand at extra cost.

Roll Compactor KSD-RC 200/50, 200/75 & 200/100 are GMP Models & 200/150, 200/200 are Standard Models (can be supplied as GMP at extra cost).
Very compact design available in Plain, Water Jacketed or Flameproof Model.
Screw is driven through VFD. Safety slipping clutch between gearbox and feed screw.
Rolls drive through twins shaft gearbox with speed drive unit coupled to it using coupling, which ensures synchronization of the rolls with a steady torque loading.
Pre-densifier screw comprises of cylindrical or conical shape, which is well polished and made of AISI SS-304 quality material – SS 316 optional.
Compacting rolls sleeves are made out of tool steel, hardened to 55 HRC approximately, and are keyed in to shafts and thus protected against axial slipping by thrust plates and bolts.
The feed screw assembly can be lifted by hand-operated hydraulic pump. This facilitates ease in cleaning.
Scrapper assembly also designed to dismantle for ease of cleaning.
Pre-compression chamber guides the powder without any slippage or leakage.
A separate panel board which consist all controls and indicators of the compactor are permanently built in namely, on/off rolls, on/off feed screw, main switch, forward/reverse switch, ammeters for rolls and feed screw and emergency stop to avoid short circuit or fire hazard at the time of cleaning with water.
Water Jacketing System to be used considering the below points:
Water should enter in the water-jacketing system with gravitational force and the inlet of water must be parallel to it.
The force of inlet water should not be high, it must be normal.
The volume of inlet and outlet should be equal it means if outlet volume is one liter in 10 min. then inlet volume should not increase than 1 liter in 10 minutes.
Force of inlet water should be controlled through appropriate valve between inlet of water- jacketing system and your source of water supply.
Outlet water from water-jacketing system must not be re-circulated to avoid backpressure to the seals and it should go to drain only.
Always supply raw water to the water-jacketing system as it is require maintaining the temperature between two rolls while compaction.
Don’t supply chilled water as it will condensed to rolls and shafts because the area, where the machine will be installed, will be air conditioned and also Rh must be maintained..
If above points are considered and implemented during the installation of the machine, the problem of leakage from the water-jacketing system should not occur.
