Product catalog summary
Overview of Fitzpatrick's CCS Series
The Fitzpatrick Company offers the CCS Series, a Contained Compaction System designed for dry granulation of pharmaceutical powders. The system is engineered to improve compact uniformity and density, enhance operator safety, minimize maintenance, and accelerate scale-up processes.
Key Features and Benefits
  • Compact Uniformity & Density: The system utilizes real-time roll gap feedback control and precision parallel floating rolls to ensure uniform compaction, improving downstream particle flow.
  • Operator Safety & Product Containment: Features such as wash-in-place capabilities and in-wall designs provide full containment with minimal investment, reducing product exposure and contamination risks.
  • Maintenance & Downtime Reduction: The design includes fewer parts for easy teardown and cleaning, leading to faster changeovers and reduced downtime.
  • Scalability & Cost Reduction: Fitzpatrick's expertise and scalable equipment parameters ensure faster development and reliable scalability, with options for pilot validation and production scaling.
Innovative Compaction System
The CCS Series features an independent two-screw feed design that eliminates the need for vacuum dearation and reduces ungranulated bypass, leading to higher material yields and uniform compacts.
Optimized Granulation Process
The system controls particle size distribution and minimizes fines through a variety of rotor/screen designs, handling a wide range of powders, including the hardest compacts.
Product Containment System (PCS)
The optional PCS provides maximum containment by drawing a slight vacuum in the process environment, minimizing product exposure and contamination.
Maintenance and Automation
The system allows for easy roll shell removal and features fully automated controls with batch reporting and historical trending capabilities, ensuring efficient operation and compliance with 21 CFR part 11.
Global Presence and Support
Fitzpatrick offers extensive validation and qualification services with worldwide support, ensuring processes run to specification. The company has a global presence with representation in over 80 countries.
