HSM X.ONE series is our advanced version of high shear mixers embedded with multiple cutting edge features such as 12 bar explosion resistance and the advanced X.ONE command process control system. We’ve designed the entire HSM X.ONE series with a single purpose – to boost operator as well as process efficiency.
Key features of HSM X.ONE
Ergonomic product bowl – HSM X.ONE is designed to ensure operators’ easy access without unnecessary physical effort. The bowl can be free-standing position or ‘through-the-wall’, depending on floor space and configuration, and is equipped with an easy-access platform for easy charge and discharge of materials.
Unique Z-shaped impeller - The HSM is equipped with a Z-shaped impeller to ensure the optimum material flow in and out of the shear zone. It also provides superior centrifugal force to the material than conventional systems, minimises material sticking to the bowl surface, and consumes significantly less power.
Knife-edged multi-blade chopper - A multi-blade chopper inside the bowl breaks down lumps formed during granule formation, avoids ‘dead zones’, and achieves uniform binder distribution when applied to powders. It ensures highly effective chopping even at lower speeds and reduces stress on the product through greater efficiency.
Blow-back filter assembly - During dry mixing of low bulk density API, powder tends to flow out, and this can cause batch rejection and non-uniformity of content. HSM X.ONE’s blow-back filters ensure this doesn’t happen, thanks to 5-micron blow-back filters on the inside of the HSM lid, keeping contents securely inside, and cyclically purging the trapped powder into the bowl.
Spraying manifold - The spraying manifold/nozzle distributes the binding agent without additional air, ensuring uniform application.
Non-continuous mode of discharge - Once the wet mix is complete, a non-continuous impeller ‘on-off’ jog controls discharge.
Chamber pressure sensor - Precise pressure measurement inside the bowl to ensure safe operation.
Accurate and easy endpoint determination - Torque-based measurement determines the precise endpoint of wet granulation in the HSM and is more sensitive and accurate than time or current-based measurements.
