Granulators form a specialised group of machines within the chemical and pharmaceutical machinery sector. They are available in a variety of designs, performance classes and configurations.
They are characterised by different control systems, performance levels and degrees of automation. Modern models often offer digital interfaces, maintenance monitoring and energy efficiency features.
Leading suppliers include Glatt, Korsch, Fette and IKA, alongside a wide range of specialist engineering firms.
Granulators are used in chemical and pharmaceutical production, pilot plants and research. Users range from small-scale workshops and medium-sized production facilities to industrial mass production. Key selection criteria include performance, installation space, energy consumption, operating concept and the availability of spare parts locally.
