High shear mixer granulator from China

The model number is the bowl in litres, not the batch, and the granulation endpoint moves with impeller speed, binder rate and your own powder, so a demo on the factory's blend proves little about yours.

Written and listings checked 30 September 2026. Every figure on this page names its source.

What you are actually comparing.

Two quotes, one machine name

What hides inside the price

Impeller and chopper drives

Two fixed speeds or variable frequency drives. Variable speed lets you copy a lab recipe; two-speed forces a new one.

Endpoint measurement

Ask whether the controller logs impeller power or torque. Without it the endpoint is the operator's hand in the bowl.

Shaft seals

Wet mass creeps into impeller and chopper seals. Ask for the seal type, air or water purge, and how the seal is removed for cleaning.

Binder addition

A metered pump and spray nozzle repeat; a funnel does not. Ask which one the price includes.

Discharge and wet mill

Ask whether the discharge valve feeds a wet mill or a fluid bed directly, or into open bins.

Before you ask for a price.

Send these with the enquiry. Without them, any number a factory gives you is a guess dressed as a quotation.

Dry blend weight per batch and its bulk density.
Binder: water or solvent, and liquid weight per batch.
Lab recipe: impeller and chopper speeds and times.
Where the wet granule goes next: fluid bed, tray dryer or bins.
Licensed medicines production or food supplements.

Require this	A pass looks like
Granulate a full batch of your blend with your binder.	Endpoint reached with power or torque curve printed, granule sized and photographed.
Repeat the batch at the same settings.	Power curve and granule size close to the first batch.
Strip and clean impeller, chopper and seals.	No wet mass left behind seals, time recorded.

The documents that must arrive with it.

EU Declaration of Conformity with model and serial number.
IQ/OQ documentation.
Material certificates for bowl, impeller and seals.

The one people forget. The seal elastomer certificate, the part auditors ask about after a batch picks up black specks.

When this is the wrong machine.

Buy something else if

Named, not hedged

Your active cannot take water or heat.

A roller compactor for dry granulation, see the pharmaceutical granulator page.

You only need a uniform blend, with no liquid added.

A bin blender or tumbling mixer, cheaper and gentler.

Where the numbers come from.

We name the kind of source, how many and when, and never the factory. Listed prices are asking prices, not landed cost. Where we do not hold a fact we say so: that is a GAP, not an estimate.

Listings · 3Three listings, checked September 2026: in each the model number was bowl volume in litres; two 300 litre models were rated 100 kg and 120 kg a batch, with 2 to 5 minute batch times.
Listings · 2The two 300 litre listings stated impeller drives of 13/16 kW and 22 kW, and advertised US$9,000 to US$55,000 and US$16,000 to US$49,000. Asking prices, not landed cost.
Arithmetic100 / 300 = 0.33 and 120 / 300 = 0.40 kg of batch per litre of bowl.
