The FrymaKoruma Dinex is the proven system of choice for the production of creams, lotions, gels, ointments, toothpaste and other kinds of dispersion. The special requirements that must be satisfied for the manufacture of parenteral, pulmonary, peroral and percutaneous dosage forms are met by the Dinex machine and associated automation concept in every respect. This concept is based on an external process tool with recirculation and provides an ideal platform for precise processing ofproducts spanning a very wide viscosity range. At the heart of the system is a rotor-stator homogenizer, which is mounted underneath the process vessel and connected to its top part by a recirculation line (long loop). This configuration ensures that all ingredients pass through the homogenizer at least twice before being discharged, because ingredient materials are introduced through the running homogenizer. The homogenizer also incorporates the internal pumping function for circulating and discharging the products and cleaning the machine. The new homogenizer which significantly improves the Dinex performance is a particularly exciting innovation. The scraper agitator supports the top-down macro-mixing of the product in the vessel that is produced by the long-loop recirculation line. At the same time, it guarantees optimal thermal transfer between the vessel wall and the product during the heating and cooling cycles. The recirculation line can optionally be branched into the conical bottom section of the process vessel while the machine is operating. This short loop permits batch sizes with a larger variability and allows foaming products to be circulated underneath the surface.
