Pharmag RM-6 Drum Hoop Blender

The Pharma Test / Pharmag P-RM-6 Roller Mixer Attachment (Part No. 40-01360) is designed for pharmaceutical formulation research and development (R&D), gastronomic laboratories, and pilot plants. This module connects directly to a P-UAM universal motor drive or a P-UGD universal gearbox via a standard quick-release flange. It is specifically designed for the gentle and uniform mixing and anti-stratification/tumble-proofing of powders, microparticles, pellets, liquids, or suspensions in cylindrical containers, providing highly reproducible and shear-free mixture quality that fully complies with the stringent requirements of cGMP, GLP, FDA, and the International Pharmacopoeia for solid dosage forms and pilot processes.


I. Adopting industry-standard mounting flanges, it can be quickly installed and removed from the P-UAM drive system in seconds without complicated tools, greatly saving equipment purchase costs and laboratory table space, realizing a modular pilot process platform with multiple uses.


II. The cylindrical container is driven by parallel double rollers to produce a continuous and stable rotating and tumbling motion, which is suitable for fragile microcapsules, heat-sensitive or shear-sensitive active ingredients (APIs), effectively preventing materials from breaking or electrostatic agglomeration due to violent impact, and ensuring uniform mixing.


III. The roller spacing is designed for flexible adjustment and can accommodate standard laboratory sample vials, glass cylinders, stainless steel mixing tanks or plastic containers of different diameters and lengths (supporting a maximum capacity of liters), meeting the diverse formulation testing needs from small-batch R&D to pilot-scale stages.


IV. The drive rollers are made of high-quality anti-slip and wear-resistant material and high-specification AISI 316/304 stainless steel, ensuring quiet operation and low vibration. The entire machine surface is mirror-polished (Ra < 0.8 µm), leaving no dead corners and making it easy to wipe, clean, and sterilize the entire machine, fully complying with cGMP, GLP, and FDA cleaning effectiveness standards.



Equipment Introduction


  • Modular Roller Mixer Drive Platform

    • Flexible Cylindrical Vessel & Jar Compatibility: Designed specifically for pharmaceutical R&D, Galenical Labs, and pilot plants, this product features a highly adaptable parallel dual-roller support structure that allows for the free placement of cylindrical containers of different materials (glass bottles, plastic cans, stainless steel mixing tanks) and capacities, depending on the material characteristics.

    • Integrated Modular Process Suite Compatibility : As one of the core modules of Pharmag’s pilot unit operating equipment, it can be quickly connected to the laboratory power drive system through a universal quick-release interface, which greatly saves equipment purchase costs and space.

  • Gentle Low-Shear Precision Smooth Rolling Drive System

    • Shear-free gentle tumbling and blending mechanism : requires P-UGD gearbox and P-UAM main drive to provide stable and precise rotational power. The material tumbles evenly in the container with the gravity of the cylinder wall, completely eliminating the high shear heating, crystal damage and micro pellet fragmentation caused by internal stirring blades.

    • Excellent process reproducibility and anti-sedimentation/demixing : Digital speed control ensures high consistency in mixing uniformity across batches; particularly suitable for homogenizing powders of different specific gravities, protecting fragile pellets, and preventing sedimentation and constant-temperature agitation of suspensions and emulsions.

  • Industry-standard quick-lock flange and adjustable roller spacing.

    • Tool-Free Quick-Lock Flange Mounting: Adopting an industry-standard flange interface (compatible with most mainstream specifications of accessories), module installation and replacement can be completed by hand without tools in seconds, greatly improving laboratory operation efficiency.

    • Adjustable Roller Distance & Anti-Slip Surface : The roller distance can be flexibly adjusted according to the container diameter (suitable for various types of bottles and cans from Ø 50 to 200 mm). The roller surface has a wear-resistant, solvent-resistant, and anti-slip coating, which can stably support the container for long-term continuous rotation.

  • Comprehensive solid and liquid material compatibility and broad process compatibility.

    • Versatile Powder, Pellet & Liquid Homogenization : Supports dry powder mixing, coating particle homogenization, and gentle dispersion and formulation of liquid/solid suspensions, viscous gels and emulsions, effectively preventing heat-sensitive components from being degraded by heat.

    • Extensive Cross-Industry Applications : Widely applicable to research fields such as pharmaceuticals, herbal and natural medicines, fine chemicals, food, agriculture, biological reagents, cosmetic emulsion formulation, and electronic pastes.

  • cGMP Sanitary Design & High Reliability

    • Pharmaceutical-grade corrosion-resistant stainless steel body (Pharma-Grade AISI 304/316 Stainless Steel) : All contact and exterior components are made of mirror-passivated stainless steel with a smooth design without dead corners. It is resistant to wiping with alcohol, IPA and common disinfectants, and meets the effective cleaning standards of cGMP and GLP.

    • Compact Benchtop & Heavy-Duty Reliability : High-rigidity chassis support and long-life heavy-duty bearings provide low vibration and low noise operation, offering excellent space utilization and long-term pilot process stability.
