MODEL CCS 1025 CHILSONATOR ®
Floor mounted CCS 1025
CONTAINED CHILSONATOR SYSTEM (CCS)
CCS 1025 DESIGN
CONCEPT OVERVIEW
• Sealed technical area
• “Free-standing” or “in-wall” installation
• Integrated roll process housing and
milling system minimizes headroom
requirement
• Utilities enter technical area from the
back of machine
The CCS 1025 is designed to fully contain all product in the processing and receiving sections
of the machine. This tightly sealed design allows for the optional product containment system (PCS)
to be added at the discharge. The PCS draws a slight vacuum in the process environment to
provide maximum containment.

Advantages of the Product Containment System:
• Minimal product exposure to operator and environment
• Prevents product contamination
• Minimal product loss

CCS 1025 IS DESIGNED FOR
OPERATOR CONVENIENCE
• Ease of disassembly is considered in the
design of ALL components
• Wash-In-Place (WIP) option (see illustrations above)
• Automated controls allow ALL adjustments to be
made from the control panel (see pg. 5)
The PCS can be combined with an N2 inerting system in order to
reduce product oxygen exposure and explosion risks.

EASILY CONFIGURABLE
FEED SYSTEM
The Fitzpatrick feed system delivers material to the
rolls utilizing a feed hopper, horizontal feed screw
for metering material, and a vertical pre-compression
screw for pre-compression, deaeration, and transport
of feed material to the compaction rolls.
The high speed vertical pre-compression feed screw(s)
is very effective at deaerating a vast majority of
powders. Even many low bulk density powders
are able to be effectively conditioned for efficient
compaction. This feed system design provides
significant process advantages with few components
to clean and maintain.
In a few applications, the material characteristics
restrict the ability of the entrained air to be vented
from the system utilizing the pre-compaction screw
alone. In these applications, the optional Vacuum
Deaeration System is available to assist in drawing
the entrained air from the product. Vacuum filters can
be installed in various locations and a vacuum pump
system is utilized to forcibly remove entrained gas
from within the product. Process improvements can
be dramatic with respect to both compaction
efficiency as well as capacity.

VARIOUS ROLL SURFACES AVAILABLE
The cantilever design allows for easy removal of roll
shells for cleaning or reconfiguration. The roll shells
have water cooling capability.

TWO-STEP CONFIGURABLE SIZE REDUCTION
The most efficient method of reducing the compact to the desired granule is product dependent. Some applications favor
the bar rotor and some favor the knife rotor as more effective. Both options are available on each machine so the optimum
arrangement for every product can be configured.
In either case, the initial breaker combined with the very large screen area of the secondary reducer provides for the most
efficient size reduction.

FULLY AUTOMATED CONTROLS
• Automatic operation of all components from the
operator interface
• Fully instrumented with convenient display and
logging of variables
• 21 CFR part 11 compliant capable
• Multiple layers of password security

CONVENIENT DISSASSEMBLY
ROLL SYSTEM
• Easy roll shell removal
• Hydraulic system spreads rolls 10mm for cleaning
FEED SYSTEM
• Components conveniently disassemble from
the machine or can be removed as a unit
for remote disassembly
• Double lip seal ensures technical area remains
sealed while primary seal is removed for cleaning

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
BIN-TO-BIN PROCESSING
A typical Chilsonator installation would involve feeding
material from an initial bin, through the Chilsonator
and 2-Step Size Reduction System, and into a
product-receiving bin.

RECYCLE SYSTEM
Feed
A recycle system is essentially used for eliminating all fines and
overs from the product. A typical recycle system includes the
compactor, granulator, screener, fresh feeder, and mechanical
or pneumatic conveyor. Additional instrumentation such
as level sensors are also required.

THE
FITZPATRICK
COMPANY
A TRADITION OF INNOVATION IN
PARTICLE FORMING TECHNOLOGY
THE FITZPATRICK COMPANY
Visit us on our web sites : www.fitzmill.com
For Europe: www.fitzpatrick.be
Since the 1930’s, Fitzpatrick has been pioneering the
development of particle forming technology. With the
development of the Chilsonator ® Roll compactor in the
late 1950’s, Fitzpatrick has been constantly improving
this dry agglomeration technology. Both improving
existing processes as well as opening up new and
difficult applications to the many cost and processing
benefits of dry agglomeration, Fitzpatrick continues to
uphold their tradition of innovation.
Pharmaceutical, chemical, food, plastics and other
industries utilize a wide range of Fitzpatrick machines,
including FitzMill ® Comminutors, Fitz cM Classifier
Mills, Chilsonator ® Roll Compactors, FitzSieve ® for
gentle milling and sieving, Malaxators ® , Homoloid ®
machines and pre-breaking equipment. Each unit is built
to stringent quality standards to operate under the most
demanding manufacturing conditions.
The Fitzpatrick Company maintains manufacturing
facilities, test laboratories, and service and support
offices in Elmhurst, Illinois; and additional testing,
sales, and support services are provided from our
office in Sint-Niklaas Belgium.
