5 Reasons EXAKT Ointment Mills Are Better Than Mixers

Compounding EXAKT

A comparative study conducted at the University of Hamburg, Institute of Pharmacy in Hamburg Germany concluded that the quality of compounds processed with EXAKT ointment mills is better than those processed with electric mixing systems.

  1. The particle size is smaller and the particle size distribution is more narrow.
  2. Ointment stability is better.
  3. Temperatures do not increase significantly during processing.
  4. Ointments are softer consistency with lower flow limits
  5. Three roll mills allow for quality control during processing.

 

Substance processed with conventional mixing procedure: crystalline substances are still clearly visible.

Substance processed with an EXAKT three roll mill: regular and fine consistency of the substance

What does an ointment mill do?

EXAKT-80E-Plus-with-Hopper

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.
