About the QUEST HSM II
The QUEST HSM II is a laboratory-scale high‑shear mixer‑granulator designed for fast, reproducible granulation and narrow particle-size distribution in R&D and small-scale production. The system integrates ACG's process control, the MOST™ (Maximum Operator Safety Technology) safety concept, and supports cGMP-oriented workflows. Its standalone, mobile plug-and-play construction enables rapid deployment and easy cleaning. Interchangeable bowls (2 L, 5 L and 10 L) provide batch-size flexibility.

Applications

• Mixing
• Hot-melt granulation
• Wet granulation

Features & Benefits

• 12‑bar pressure shock‑resistant system (MOST™): FSA‑approved and ATEX compliant — prevents mechanical deformation after pressure shocks and enables rapid restart with a fully contained, non‑vented design that enhances operator safety.
• Z‑shaped impeller blades: ensure controlled material flow into and out of the shear zone, minimising buildup and sticking on the product bowl.
• Standalone mobile plug‑and‑play design: enables quick relocation and setup for laboratory and R&D environments.
• Multi‑blade straight chopper: breaks lumps during granule formation, eliminates dead zones and promotes uniform binder distribution.
• Interchangeable bowls (2 L, 5 L, 10 L): accommodate flexible batch sizes for R&D and small‑scale trials.

Technical specifications
Bowl sizes: 2 L, 5 L, 10 L.
Working volume (depends on bulk density): 2 L bowl: min 0.6 L / max 1.2 L; 5 L bowl: min 1.5 L / max 3 L; 10 L bowl: min 3 L / max 6 L.
