Industrial Roll Compactor Machinery
Innovative Process Applications (IPA) manufactures advanced roll compactor machinery for industrial equipment applications, designed for dry granulation across industrial, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical markets. Engineered as a high-performance alternative to Chilsonator Fitzpatrick roll compactor systems, IPA equipment delivers consistent results, precise control, and scalable performance from pilot studies to full production.
Our industrial roller compactor equipment features a twin feed screw design that enables independent control of feed rate and deaeration of material. The Horizontal Feed Screw (HFS) regulates throughput, while the Vertical Feed Screw (VFS) controls pre-compression into the rolls—producing uniform ribbons with controlled density for a narrow particle size distribution.
