Pharmaceutical size reduction shredder

Achieve fast, efficient material size reduction with this shredder, enabling seamless integration into continuous production lines and supporting high-speed inline operations.

The Hanningfield Pharmaceutical Shredder is a purpose-built solution for achieving efficient pre-milling size reduction of bulk materials such as pharmaceutical powders and nutraceutical granules. This shredder stands out with its compact design, suitable for inline integration within continuous processing operations. The unit operates by rapidly shredding and reducing the size of agglomerated powders and granules, using rotational speeds of 1,000-2,000 RPM for effective grinding.

Ideal for applications in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, fine chemicals, and cannabis industries, it supports the production of tablets, capsules, dietary supplements, and herbal extracts by preparing materials for subsequent milling processes. Its high throughput capacity ensures maximum productivity, seamlessly integrating with upstream and downstream equipment via tri-clover connections.

Constructed with FDA-compliant 316L stainless steel contact parts for superior corrosion resistance, the shredder complies with GMP standards. The equipment offers a clean, GMP design with easy maintenance and is customizable with various sizes to meet specific throughput requirements. Hanningfield provides full engineering support, ensuring each machine aligns with your operational needs, complete with detailed validation documentation and certifications for compliance.
