For details on specific models, visit our Literature Center.

Twin Dome Granulator™

The patented Twin Dome Granulator (TDG) offers high capacity twin screw extrusion through a hemi-spherical die that allows for uniform extrusion pressure and shear.

Production scale twin screw extruders are available in the following models for pharmaceutical applications:

TDG-80G and TDG-110G

Xtruder™ (Radial)

The radial Xtruder has been a mainstay of low pressure extrusion for 30 years. Twin screws transport material into the extrusion zone where tapered extrusion blades wipe material through perforated screens.


Production scale radial extruders are available in the following models for pharmaceutical applications:

EXDS-60G, EXDS-100G, and EXDS-130G

Basket Granulator™

LCI's Basket Granulator is the lowest pressure extruder available. Materials are gravity fed into the granulator and are wiped through perforated screens by extrusion blades. The gap between blade and screen is adjustable.


Production scale basket extruders are available in the following models for pharmaceutical applications:

BR-200G, BR-300G, BR-450G, and BR-600G
