For over 80 years, Fitzpatrick has consistently achieved powder processing innovation excellence. They have designed, manufactured, and supplied the CCS and IR range of roller compactors as well as FitzMill™ milling equipment and hammer mills, to the pharmaceutical, chemical and food sectors worldwide. Committed to improving the performance and profitability of their customers’ powder processing operations, they continually invest in customer-driven innovative solutions and provide long-term support via their highly technical customer service and spare parts network.

Introducing the newest model in the roller compaction range – LCS – Lab Compaction System, a scalable benchtop, high performance model for R&D and trial batch production. With capacities ranging from 10g to 6 kg/hr, the new LCS is ideal for proof-of-concept work or for smallest volume production. Manufactured with Fitzpatrick’s high-precision, twin feed screw system, the LCS processes powders using the same mechanism as larger production-scale systems. This capability produces a compact that is comparable to that produced on full-sized models, which ensures your development projects can progress to production with confidence. The available 20 kN/cm roll pressure is equivalent to productionscale systems and matches the requirement for most pharmaceutical blends, so the results you achieve are a true reflection of a powder’s suitability for dry granulation.
