Ointment Production 30L Double Planetary Mixer – Lab & Small Batch

In the pharmaceutical manufacturing sector, the transition from laboratory formulation to small-batch production represents a critical juncture where precision meets scalability. Gangben Machinery's Ointment Production 30L Double Planetary Mixer emerges as a specialized solution tailored to this exact niche, combining pharmaceutical-grade performance with the flexibility required for R&D and limited-scale manufacturing.

Precision Engineering for Ointment Formulations

Ointments demand exceptional homogeneity to ensure consistent drug distribution and therapeutic efficacy. Gangben Machinery's 30L mixer addresses this challenge through its proprietary dual-planetary mixing system, where agitators rotate on their own axes while orbiting the vessel's center. This creates a three-dimensional shear field that eliminates common issues like agglomeration and phase separation, achieving micron-level dispersion of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) within oleaginous or hydrophilic bases. Batch-to-batch variation is minimized to industry-leading standards, critical for regulatory compliance in pharmaceutical production.

Optimized 30L Capacity for Transitional Scales

The 30L working volume reflects Gangben Machinery's deep understanding of pharmaceutical development workflows. Laboratory trials requiring multiple formula iterations benefit from the mixer's ability to process 5-25L batches, reducing material waste during formulation optimization. For small-batch production, the equipment seamlessly scales to support clinical supply or niche market requirements, bridging the gap between lab-scale experiments and full-scale manufacturing without compromising process integrity.

GMP-Compliant Design Features

Adhering to strict Good Manufacturing Practice standards, Gangben Machinery incorporates 316L stainless steel in all product-contact surfaces, with a mirror-polished finish (Ra ≤ 0.4μm) to prevent residue buildup and facilitate thorough cleaning. The mixer integrates CIP (Clean-in-Place) compatibility and dual-loop controls for temperature and rotational speed, ensuring complete process traceability – a fundamental requirement for pharmaceutical documentation.
Additional functional advantages include vacuum operation capabilities to eliminate entrained air and precise temperature regulation (up to 150°C), essential for processing viscous matrices like petrolatum and lanolin. These features collectively enhance ointment stability, texture uniformity, and shelf-life performance.

Versatility Across Pharmaceutical Applications

From dermatological creams to ophthalmic ointments, Gangben Machinery's 30L mixer adapts to diverse formulation requirements. Its modular design supports quick changeovers between batches, while customizable agitator configurations accommodate varying viscosity profiles – from water-thin emulsions to high-consistency pastes.
For pharmaceutical manufacturers navigating the complex transition from R&D to commercialization, this mixer delivers tangible value: reducing development timelines through reliable scale-up data, minimizing material costs during formulation refinement, and ensuring regulatory compliance from the outset.
Gangben Machinery's Ointment Production 30L Double Planetary Mixer stands as a testament to engineered precision in pharmaceutical processing, empowering laboratories and small-scale producers with equipment that balances technical performance with practical adaptability – ultimately contributing to safer, more consistent medicinal ointments.
