High-shear mixer » Syntegon

Process robustness and high efficiency are the main requirements for high-quality granulation in a high-shear mixer. Our technology is based on the unique Gentlewing impeller. The high-shear mixer granulator provides perfect mixing in short time and allows for a wide process window in terms of e.g. tip speed, filling level and mixing duration. At the same time, wall caking and product residues are minimized. The equipment’s intelligent features facilitate safe product transfer via a wet mill into the fluid bed, avoiding operator intervention. For older, already registered formulations, a traditional 3-blade impeller is available.

Key benefits

Achieve higher yields

A smart design prevents wall caking and clogging and enables controlled discharging for robust and secure processes.

High batch variability

The position, geometry of the mixing tools and operating modes allow filling levels between 20 and 80 %.

Whether you need formulation support, rental equipment, or a service agreement – we take your molecules to production.

Gentlewing: Convincing mixing and granulation results

The Hüttlin Gentlewing is designed to achieve superior mixing and granulation results. The impeller’s shape matches the contour of the mixing container, while its angled blades ensure forced high-shear mixing of the product.
The prolonged blades further avoid wall caking, resulting in a higher yield.

Gentlewing or 3-blade impeller: you have the choice!

You have the option to choose between the innovative Gentlewing impeller and a traditional 3-blade impeller for older formulations, which are already registered with this technology.

Top or bottom drive: we offer total flexibility

Our technology is available in a top (HTG) or bottom drive (HBG) execution.
Both share the same geometry, resulting in no process difference between top and bottom drive, achieving consistent high-quality results. The Gentlewing’s design and the vertical chopper support a high batch variability of 20 – 80 %.

Automatic end point detection

Besides time and current measurement, we can additionally offer torque measurement to determine the end point of granulation as a validatable end point value.

Choose your preferred charging option

Depending on your products’ characteristics and your plant’s layout, you can choose between different charging options: pneumatically by continuous or intermittent vacuum or alternatively by gravity filling. Especially for critical products, intermittent vacuum drastically reduces the filter load during charging.

Closed process for the highest safety

In both our top and bottom drive executions, the Gentlewing and chopper shafts are equipped with a purged sealing system. The product container’s lid features an inflatable seal as well as an interlocking device to avoid cross-contamination. It further ensures product and operator safety.

Efficient pharma wall installation

The wall installation enables a true separation of the GMP and technical area, reducing the required space in the pharma room. All drives and supply lines are accessible via the technical area for time-efficient and safe maintenance.

All benefits in a single pot

The Hüttlin single pot combines all benefits of the leak-tight top-drive concept with a smart, efficient energy transfer via heated bowl, lid, filter housing and shaft, as well as an optimized vacuum system with optional solvent recovery. This concept meets the highest requirements regarding process times, product quality and handling.

Cleaning – automated and efficient

Efficiency is one of the main benefits of our cleaning systems. Depending on your requirements, you can flexibly choose either our basic automated cleaning system or the advanced automated UltraClean technology. Thanks to its in-place cleaning, the UltraClean stainless-steel filter significantly reduces cleaning times and ensures reproducible results.

Are you looking for a small R&D tabletop mixer?

Mycromix granulates small amounts of products. Due to interchangeable bowls of 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0 and 10 liters, you can process a wide range of batch sizes. Mycromix features the same unique Gentlewing impeller and vertical chopper as our production-scale high-shear mixers. Mycromix is available with various options, such as preparation for organic solvents, heating/cooling jackets or a 3-blade impeller. In case you are seeking to expand your R&D capabilities, our Solidlab 1 and Solidlab 2 Plus fluid beds for drying perfectly complement the Mycromix table-top solution.

Unlike most other solutions in the market, the Solidlab 1 comes with our PROVICON control system featuring open recipe creation and management for a time-saving product development.

Would you like to run a small-scale production with a high-shear mixer?

Pilotmix is the perfect link between R&D and production scale: it can serve either as scale-up step between laboratory and production or as small production unit. It features the unique Gentlewing impeller as well as the proven vertical chopper. Options include single pot solutions, solvent recovery as well as a 3-blade impeller. Pilotmix is designed for customized containment upgrades to handle high-potent APIs. You can operate it either stand-alone, or in line with a Pilotlab fluid bed. PROVICON, our intuitive state-of-the-art controls completes the system.

Are you aiming to flexibly granulate with a high-shear mixer?

Our Hüttlin Top-/Bottom Drive Granulators (HTG/HBG) stand out with high efficiency and can process a large batch capacity of up to 1,800 liters. Our high-shear mixers are available as top or bottom drive execution. They feature the unique Gentlewing impeller as well as the vertical chopper. Options include single pot solutions, solvent recovery as well as a 3-blade impeller. Their design further allows customized containment upgrades to handle high-potent APIs. You can operate the HTG/HBG stand-alone or in line with a HD/HDG/HDGC fluid bed processor. PROVICON, our intuitive control system completes the system.

Are you looking for a lean and compact granulation line?

The compact Hüttlin GranuLean unit comprises a high-shear mixer, a wet mill, a fluid bed system, a dry mill as well as adequate material handling. Due to its small footprint, our granulation line can be easily integrated into new and existing pharmaceutical plants. The system comes in four pre-configured sizes and allows for shorter delivery times and faster ramp-up to production. It features the unique Gentlewing impeller as well as the vertical chopper and can optionally be equipped with a 3-blade impeller.

Use case scenarios

Outstanding granule quality

Whether you compress granules into tablets or fill them into capsules or sachets, e.g. for nutraceuticals – our high-shear mixer means outstanding quality for any dosage form.

Tablets at their best

Outstanding granule properties like smooth flowability and an ideal particle size distribution result in excellent compression characteristics– even at very low API concentration, e.g. for cancer therapy.

Easy effervescence

Effervescent tablets support easy oral administration, but prove challenging in terms of production. Our sophisticated single pot system is perfectly suited to produce granules for highly stable effervescent tablets.

Yes we capsule

Granules, pellets, and mini tablets are perfectly suited for fixed-dose or personalized combination capsules, e.g. anti-infective drugs. Our fluid bed granulators ensure optimum quality of the individual components.
