Every planetary mixer from Gem Pharma is a testament to precision engineering and pharmaceutical-grade construction:

• Material of Construction: Product contact parts are in SS316L (1.4404) with a mirror-polish surface finish of Ra ≤ 0.4 µm. Non-contact parts, including the external casing and structural frame, are in SS304.

• Mixing Blades: Helical or Z-blade design, precision-cast and mirror-polished. Blades are fitted with FDA-compliant PTFE or PEEK scrapers that can be adjusted or replaced without entering the vessel.

• High-Shear Homogeniser: A vertically mounted, multi-stage rotor-stator assembly driven by a separate high-speed motor. The homogeniser has an independent seal arrangement and can be cleaned-in-place (CIP).

• Vessel & Jacket: Fully jacketed vessel (bottom and side walls) with a dimple or limpet coil design for efficient heat transfer. Vessel capacities range from 10 litres (lab scale) to 1,500 litres (production scale). The vessel is vacuum-rated (full vacuum to -1.0 bar) and pressure-rated to handle heating media.

• Lid & Ports: A hydraulically or manually operated raised lid with full visibility through a light and sight glass. Ports include DN connections for powder charging, liquid addition, vent filter, CIP spray balls, and vacuum/pressure relief.
