EXAKT ointment mills produced ointments with softer consistency and lower flow limits than those produced with EMPs, most likely due to the significant temperature increase of ointments processed with EMPs (electronic mortar & pestle).
For producing truly elegant preparations of creams, ointments or gels there is no tool more effective or more complete than an ointment mill. And the EXAKT 50 EC+ delivers more control in making that elegant preparation. HIGHLIGHTS › Roller gap to 10 μm › Precise setting of the roller gap, no dry running possible › Up to 5 l/h throughput with a gap width of 10 μm › Continuously adjustable circumferential speed of the rollers › Interchangeable roller set
With more than 30,000 units installed around the world, the EXAKT Classic 50 is the best known and most accepted pharmaceutical ointment mill. The Classic 50 ensures excellent results for topical, oral and suppository applications among others. When preparing ointments and creams containing crystallized ingredients, the EXAKT 50 is superior to even highly advanced mixing technologies. Applications: suspension ointments, emulsions ointments or cream Highlights: Particle fineness to below 20 microns Up to 8 liters/ hour throughput Chemically inert porcelain rollers

A comparative study conducted at the University of Hamburg, Institute of Pharmacy in Hamburg Germany concluded that the quality of compounds processed with three roll mills is better than those processed with electric mixing systems. Particle size is smaller. Particle size distribution is narrow. Ointment stability is better. Temperatures do not increase significantly during processing. Ointments are softer consistency with lower flow limits Three roll mills allow for quality control during processing.
Keep your mill performing as it should. Often times what you think is a problem with the mill is really just a worn out scraper and/or guides. If used on a regular basis, EXAKT recommends replacing the scraper and guides every 6 months. For quick ordering call 800-866-7172. Or email exaktorders@exaktusa.com.

Only the ointment mill used in the dispersing process guarantees that 100% of the product will be passed through both shear zones. The shear rate between the rollers is the decisive factor for the process. This is determined by the roller spacing and the circumferential speed. Agglomerates and powder clumps are broken up and homogenized. The more controlled the energy input, the more precise the processing.

An ointment mill utilizes high shear force to disperse active ingredients, and homogenize viscous materials. Shear force is created by three horizontally positioned rollers rotating in opposite directions and at different speeds relative to each other. The product is pulled through the gaps between the rollers. Active ingredients and powder clumps are broken up and homogenized, which removes grittiness and results in a high-quality topical. This gives your customers a pharmaceutically elegant and effective ointment.
