Used Dr. Pharm NTFZ-120 Lifting Tilting and Granule Sizing Machine

MANUFACTURER INFORMATION
Dr. Pharm manufactures pharmaceutical processing and material-handling equipment used for granulation, drying, powder transfer and solid-dose production. The NTFZ series is designed to interface with compatible product containers from fluid bed granulators and fluid bed dryers, allowing closed lifting, tilting, transferring and sizing of granulated materials before the next processing step.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Used Dr. Pharm Model NTFZ-120 lifting and tilting sizing machine, Serial #067, built December 2017. The system is designed for lifting, tilting, conveying and sizing compatible granulated materials in a closed process and is intended for integration with product containers used on fluid bed granulators and fluid bed dryers. Features stainless steel construction, hydraulic lifting system, integrated granule sizing mill, push-button controls and tilt-control stick. The machine nameplate specifies an overall height of approximately 3,800 mm, maximum lifting height of 1,550 mm, hydraulic pressure of 16 MPa, 220V electrical service and approximately 7.5 kW total power. The NTFZ-120 allows material to be elevated and tilted for controlled transfer through the sizing mill before discharge into the next process step. Possible applications include pharmaceutical, food, chemical and dairy processing involving transfer and sizing of compatible dry granules and other solid materials.

FAQ

WHAT IS THE DR. PHARM NTFZ-120 USED FOR?
The NTFZ-120 is designed to lift and tilt compatible process containers, transfer the product in a closed system and pass granulated material through an integrated sizing mill before the next processing step.

CAN THE NTFZ-120 CONNECT WITH A FLUID BED DRYER?
Manufacturer information identifies the NTFZ series for use with compatible product containers from fluid bed dryers and fluid bed granulators.

DOES THIS MACHINE INCLUDE A GRANULE SIZING MILL?
Yes. The system includes an integrated granule sizing mill for conditioning compatible granulated material during transfer.

WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM LIFT HEIGHT?
The machine nameplate specifies a maximum lift height of approximately 1,550 mm.

HOW TALL IS THE MACHINE?
The stated total machine height is approximately 3,800 mm.

WHAT TYPE OF LIFTING SYSTEM DOES IT USE?
The NTFZ-120 uses a hydraulic lifting system rated at 16 MPa hydraulic pressure.

WHAT POWER DOES THE MACHINE REQUIRE?
The machine nameplate specifies 220V electrical service with approximately 7.5 kW total power.

IS THE MATERIAL TRANSFER PROCESS ENCLOSED?
The machine is designed for lifting, tilting, conveying and sizing granulated material in a closed process, helping minimize unnecessary product exposure during transfer.

WHERE WOULD THIS MACHINE FIT IN A PHARMACEUTICAL PROCESS?
A system of this type can be positioned downstream of fluid bed granulation or fluid bed drying to lift the process container, transfer dried granules through a sizing mill and feed the material toward blending, tablet compression, encapsulation or another downstream operation.

CAN AARON EQUIPMENT HELP DETERMINE IF THIS MACHINE WILL WORK WITH MY CONTAINER?
Yes. Aaron Equipment can help review your existing fluid bed container, lift requirements, product characteristics and downstream equipment to determine whether this Dr. Pharm NTFZ-120 may be suitable for your process.
