Leading Particle Processing Technologies The Fitzpatrick Company
CCS SERIES | CONTAINED COMPACTION SYSTEM DRY GRANULATION
The Fitzpatrick Chilsonator™ is the Ideal Roll Compaction System
for Dry Granulation Pharmaceutical Powders
> Improve Compact Uniformity & Density
Minimize the degree of ungranulated material to improve
downstream powder fl ow characteristics with
a unique pre-compression feed system and
precision real-time roll gap control
> Enhance Operator Safety
& Product Containment
Best-in-class containment features, including
WIP (wash-in-place) capabilities and in-wall
designs, helps achieve full containment with
minimal investment
> Minimize Maintenance
& Production Downtime
Fewer parts with easy access for teardown
and cleaning, lead to faster changeovers and a
simplifi ed parts inventory
> Accelerate Scale-Up
& Reduce Development Costs
Fitzpatrick’s application expertise, lab
capabilities, support services and scalable
equipment parameters ensures faster and
more reliable development and scalability

Innovative Compaction System
> Improves compact uniformity and densityReal-time roll gap feedback control and precision
parallel fl oating rolls
ensure a more uniform
compact for improved
downstream particle fl ow
> Enhances continuous
process stability and
scalabilityDirect roll force measurement with integrated
load cell and PID control loop allows for a more
accurate and repeatable compact density

Independent, Two-Screw Feed Design > Eliminates the need for vacuum dearation
Independent pre-compression screw removes air from most
powders prior to the compaction process
> Reduces ungranulated bypassSeparate speed control of the pre-compression screw leads to more uniform density
and minimizes the degree of ungranulated material passing through the compaction
zone without the need for higher roll forces
Independent, vertical screw pre-compresses material prior to entering the rolls,
leading to higher material yields and more uniform compact

Optimized Granulation Process
> Controls particle size distribution
and minimizes fi nesA greater degree of rotor/screen designs allows
for an optimized milling process, leading to tighter
PSD ranges
> Handles a wider range of powdersThe selection of milling options also allows for
the handling and optimization of a wide range of
applications, including even the hardest compacts

CCS 720
The CCS Series is designed to fully contain all product in the
processing and receiving sections of the machine. This tightly
sealed design allows for the optional product containment system
(PCS) to be added at the discharge.The PCS draws a slight vacuum
in the process environment to provide
maximum containment.

Product ContainmentSystem (PCS)
> Achieves full containment with minimum initial investment
> Minimizes product exposure to operator and environment
> Prevents product contamination and product loss
> Combines with an N2 inerting system to reduce oxygen exposure and explosion risks

With our industry-leading compaction technology
and application expertise, Fitzpatrick is the ideal
partner at every stage, from preliminary analysis
to full production.
> Our lab service assists in determining if your
product is a candidate for roll compaction
> Preliminary analysis covers several variables,
including moisture tests and pressure vs. density
curves
> We offer CCS220 rental units or in-house Lab
Services to help optimize the compaction process
parameters for your powders
> The CCS220 is ideal for pilot validation and easily
scales to larger production units
> All CCS units offer the same diameter rolls,
allowing for a more reliable scale-up to a
production model, either a CCS720 or CCS1025
> Fitzpatrick offers extensive validation and
qualifi cation services
> Worldwide support ensures your process will
keep running to specifi cation
