About Gansons

Founded in 1947, we are one of the world’s

oldest family-owned process equipment

manufacturers. Through the course of our

history, we have been at the forefront of

industrial innovation. Today, over two billion

person-hours of experience shape and refine

every Gansons machine and service.

Gansons, an ISO 9001:2015 certified company,

We have built over 2,000 mixers over 60+ years. Based on our vast knowledge about the strengths and weaknesses of

every design, and detailed input, we have developed the revolutionary Super Gran High-Speed Mixer-Granulator.

TMThe patent-pending Super Gran generates fine high-quality granules in as low as 10% of the time it takes in standard

RMGs. It is uniformly scalable up to 3,500 litre capacities and improves cGMP compliance, validation and calibration for

pharmaceutical products and HACCP for foods.

Impeller and Scraper RotationProduces Better GranulesLess Material Adheres to the Body and Lid

In traditional Rapid Mixer Granulators (RMGs), the circumferential speed from centre to periphery becomes faster.

Closer to the centre, the granulated substances tend to become larger. As the capacity increases, this phenomenon

TMbecomes more pronounced. However, in the Super Gran , the impellers and scraper are mounted co-axially in a vertical

direction and the scraper rotates along the periphery to guide the flow of powder towards the centre like a washing

machine, which prevents adhesion of the materials to the upper lid.

The material is size-reduced and granulated by the impeller in the centre. The material obtained after processing in

TMSuper Gran is such that it negates the need for finishing sizers and is most suitable for tableting.

TMSuper Gran is equipped with seals that prevent vacuum leakage and facilitates tamper proofing.

Revolutionary Impeller AssemblyQuickest Granulation TimePrecisely Scalable to 3,500 Litres

In traditional Rapid Mixer Granulators (RMGs), as capacity increases, material tends to exhibit a bi-modal behaviour

because the shear zone is only at the bottom of the bowl, where the impeller is moving. This leads to uneven shear

application to the powder mass. Also, it paves the way for unpredictable effects of compressive forces to creep in,

ultimately leading to loss in scalability at larger volumes.

TMMultiple stacked impellers in the Super Gran enable uniform granulation by negating the bi-layered movement of the

powder mass that occurs in a standard RMG bowl.

TMOwing to the presence of multiple layers of impellers in the Super Gran , granulation occurs faster.

Multiple impellers enable uniform scalability up to 3,500 litres which is otherwise not possible with a standard RMG

design. Depending on the product and batch size, the number of impellers can be changed and distance between

them can be adjusted using spacers.

Multiple Impeller TypesControl Granule Size, Shape and Growth

TMIn the Super Gran , impeller blades are of various shapes. Depending on the particular formulation, the blades are

appropriately changed.

There are various permutations of different types of impeller blades—stacked one above the other with spacers of

varying heights. This feature helps create precise and controlled growth in shape and size of granules.

Dissolver bladesS blade (with scraper)

The co-axial scraper prevents the material from sticking to the inner wall and brings the material from the periphery

into the shear zone. The scraper rotating slowly along the walls increases the agitation efficiency and helps discharge

the total material.

Since coarse particles of agglomerated lumps are size-reduced and granulated by the impeller after the binder is fed,

the apparent specific gravity of the material is lighter than that of a conventional RMG. Hence, it is most suitable for

foods, pharmaceutical products and granules for tableting.
