Basket Extruder GBE 130
Consistently uniform extrudates
Special Features:
Process
Whenever moist mixtures or granulated materials need to be shaped into elongated, cylindrical, or spherical pellets, pelletizing systems equipped with extruders and spheronizers come into play.
Glatt’s extrusion and spheronization units can be seamlessly integrated into full pelletizing setups or operated independently as stand‑alone equipment, depending on process requirements.
Efficiency and Performance
Designed for continuous laboratory-scale operation, the Glatt Basket Extruder GBE 130 combines high throughput with excellent process reliability. In addition, its advanced design and user-friendly operation ensures consistently excellent extrudate quality, making it an ideal solution for formulation development, process optimization, and scale-up studies.
Extrusion / Spheronization
Powdery active ingredients are kneaded with liquid, pressed through an extrusion opening, and turned into pellets by spheronization.
The dry-mixed powdered active ingredients are kneaded with a liquid to form a moist, homogeneous mass. This is then pressed through an extruder – creating elongated extrusion strands. Their thickness depends on the diameter of the openings in the extrusion plate or basket. For technical reasons, these pellets are larger than 600 micrometers.
