CONTAINED CHILSONATOR SYSTEM (CCS)The CCS 1025 is designed to fully contain all product in the processing and receiving sectionsThe CCS 1025 is designed to fully contain all product in the processing and receiving sectionsof the machine. This tightly sealed design allows for the optional product containment system (PCS)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 toprovide maximum containment.

Advantages of the Product Containment System:

• Minimal product exposure to operator and environment

• Prevents product contamination

• Minimal product loss

The PCS can be combined with an N2 inerting system in order to reduce product oxygen exposure and explosion risks.

Containment valves (not shown) required for containment during feed and discharge.

CCS 1025 IS DESIGNED FOROPERATOR CONVENIENCE• Ease of disassembly is considered in the

design of ALL components

• Wash-In-Place (WIP) option (see illustrations above)

• Automated controls allow ALL adjustments to be made from the control panel (see pg. 5)

FEED SYSTEMThe Fitzpatrick feed system delivers material to the rolls utilizing a feed hopper, horizontal feed screw for metering material, and a vertical pre-compression screw for pre-compression, deaeration, and transport of feed material to the compaction rolls.

The high speed vertical pre-compression feed screw(s)is very effective at deaerating a vast majority ofpowders. Even many low bulk density powdersare able to be effectively conditioned for efficientcompaction. This feed system design providessignificant process advantages with few components to clean and maintain.

In a few applications, the material characteristics restrict the ability of the entrained air to be vented from the system utilizing the pre-compaction screw alone. In these applications, the optional Vacuum Deaeration System is available to assist in drawing the entrained air from the product. Vacuum filters can be installed in various locations and a vacuum pump system is utilized to forcibly remove entrained gas from within the product. Process improvements can be dramatic with respect to both compaction efficiency as well as capacity.

• Multiple layers of password security

The most efficient method of reducing the compact to the desired granule is product dependent. Some applications favor the bar rotor and some favor the knife rotor as more effective. Both options are available on each machine so the optimum arrangement for every product can be configured.

In either case, the initial breaker combined with the very large screen area of the secondary reducer provides for the most efficient size reduction.

THE

FITZPATRICK

COMPANY

A TRADITION OF INNOVATION IN PARTICLE FORMING TECHNOLOGY

Since the 1930’s, Fitzpatrick has been pioneering the development of particle forming technology. With the development of the Chilsonator® Roll compactor in the late 1950’s, Fitzpatrick has been constantly improving this dry agglomeration technology. Both improvingexisting processes as well as opening up new anddifficult applications to the many cost and processing benefits of dry agglomeration, Fitzpatrick continues to uphold their tradition of innovation.

Pharmaceutical, chemical, food, plastics and other industries utilize a wide range of Fitzpatrick machines, including FitzMill® Comminutors, Fitz cM™ Classifier Mills, Chilsonator® Roll Compactors, FitzSieve® for gentle milling and sieving, Malaxators®, Homoloid®

machines and pre-breaking equipment. Each unit is built to stringent quality standards to operate under the most demanding manufacturing conditions.

The Fitzpatrick Company maintains manufacturingfacilities, test laboratories, and service and support offices in Elmhurst, Illinois; and additional testing,sales, and support services are provided from ouroffice in Sint-Niklaas Belgium.
