GHL Series High Speed Wet Mixing Granulator
Product Overview
Available models from GHL-5 to GHL-800 support laboratory testing, pilot production, and large-scale manufacturing requirements.
Definition
The GHL Series High Speed Wet Mixing Granulator, manufactured by Sinoped, is an integrated wet granulation machine designed for pharmaceutical, food, chemical, and fine material processing industries. It combines powder mixing, binder addition, wet massing, and granule formation in a single sealed processing chamber.
As a type of high shear wet granulator, the GHL series provides efficient mixing performance and controlled granule formation for applications requiring consistent particle size, good flowability, and stable production quality.
Unlike conventional granulation processes that require multiple separate machines, the Sinoped GHL wet mixing granulator completes the complete granulation process inside one closed vessel, helping reduce material transfer, improve production efficiency, and maintain better process control.
The equipment is commonly used for pharmaceutical granulation, tablet preparation, food powder processing, chemical granulation, and powder metallurgy applications.
How It Works
The GHL wet granulator operates through a high-speed mixing and cutting system installed inside a horizontal cylindrical chamber.
During operation, raw powders are first loaded into the mixing bowl, where the specially designed impeller generates intensive movement to achieve uniform dry blending. After adding a binder or liquid solution, the material gradually forms a wet mass under controlled mixing conditions.
The high-speed cutting blade then breaks the wet material into uniform granules. Through optimized mixing speed, cutting speed, and processing time, operators can control granule size and improve the flow characteristics of the final product.
The complete process includes:
Powder Mixing → Wet Mass Formation → High-Speed Cutting → Granule Discharge
Because mixing and granulation occur in the same sealed chamber, the GHL Series High Speed Wet Mixing Granulator reduces contamination risks and improves production consistency, making it suitable for GMP-oriented pharmaceutical manufacturing environments.
Key Features of Sinoped GHL Wet Mixing Granulator
The Sinoped GHL Series Wet Granulation Equipment adopts a practical horizontal cylinder structure with an optimized mechanical design for efficient powder processing.
The drive shaft uses an inflatable sealing structure. During cleaning operations, compressed air can be replaced by water to improve cleaning convenience and support hygienic production requirements.
The high-speed mixing and cutting system enables rapid granulation with shorter processing cycles. Compared with traditional granulation methods, the GHL wet granulator can reduce binder consumption and shorten subsequent drying time when optimized according to specific formulations.
The integrated design allows dry mixing, wet mixing, and granulation to be completed in one machine, making it suitable for manufacturers looking for compact pharmaceutical granulation solutions with improved process efficiency.

Selection Guide
Choosing the correct GHL wet mixing granulator model mainly depends on production capacity, material characteristics, formulation requirements, and manufacturing scale.
For laboratory research and formulation development, smaller models such as GHL-5 and GHL-15 provide flexible solutions for testing and process verification.
For pilot production and commercial manufacturing, models including GHL-50, GHL-200, GHL-400, and GHL-800 are designed for larger batch processing requirements.
| Production Scale | Recommended Model | Typical Usage |
| Laboratory and R&D | GHL-5 / GHL-15 | Formula testing and small batch production |
| Pilot manufacturing | GHL-50 / GHL-200 | Process optimization and validation |
| Industrial production | GHL-400 / GHL-800 | Large-scale pharmaceutical and industrial applications |
Before selecting a pharmaceutical wet granulation machine, manufacturers should evaluate raw material properties, required granule characteristics, production volume, cleaning requirements, and applicable industry standards.
