The Fitzpatrick Company pioneered the development of particle size reduction and forming technology, with the development of the Lab Compaction System, Contained Compaction System roll compactor and FitzMill, Fitzpatrick has been constantly evolving powder processing technology and in conjunction with Quadro developed the Scalable Lab System.
The LCS (Lab Compaction System) is the scalable and benchtop sized R&D roller compactor developed by Fitzpatrick and released in 2022. It has been designed to be suitable for R&D and trial batch production for dry granulation processes.
The SDx Series features three interchangeable powder process heads on a single drive unit making it extremely versatile for the production facilities in the cosmetic, food and pharmaceutical industries.
The SLS features four interchangeable powder process heads on a single drive unit making it extremely versatile for the cosmetic, food and pharmaceutical industries.
Roller Compaction uses mechanical pressure to create a densified sheet of material which can be granulated to form a desired particle size, typically to improve other powder characteristics such as flowability.
The Fitzmill impact mill for particle size reduction has become the standard across many industries.
