7. System Details
7.1 System Description
For Rapid Mixer Granulator
A Rapid mixer granulator plays vital role to mix the ingredients and make granules before
compression. For wet granulation, choppers and impellers are mainly responsible in rapid granulator.
This RMG machine is also known in Industries with various key terms as High shear granulation
machine, Dry Powder granulator, Wet Granulator, Pharma Saizoner, High shear mixer granulator,
high-shear granulator, High Shear Mixer Granulators, Granulator, Wet Mixing, Rapid Mixer
Granulator Machine, Granulation Machine, and Rapid Mixer Granulator. Our skilled professionals
have designed the impeller in such a way that full length blades push the material and half-length blade
lift the material. This impeller helps you to break the wet mass into small pieces and granules. Chopper
has very sharp small blades which are specially designed to cut the wet lumps of material into very
small parts which are then mixed by impellers. Discharge port is used to unload the container filled
with granules. It is located at the bottom of the dome. A hard M.S. channel has been used to keep the
drive assembly at the bottom. Stainless steel staircase and railings are provided for the platform with a
bowl mounted on the top. Half of the platform has been covered by S.S. and dimpled Plates.

Document Name: IQ, abbreviation for Installation Qualification, which is one of the project relevant
document. Document name can be varied according to the deliverables.
Version- R0 is version number, if a particular document is repeated due to any reason for same PO, the
version number shall be changed in sequence R1, R2, R3…..and so on.
Equipment ID- it is the ID of system/equipment/Instrument which will be going for the validation.
Note: if any documents revised due to any reason, previous project code shall be applicable.
13. Validation Approach
Validation shall be used as a tool for providing a high degree of assurance that a specific process
control system consistently produces a product meeting its pre-determined specification and quality
attributes.
For the validation, GAMP 5 guidelines have been considered. As per GAMP Software Life Cycle
approach and V-Model considered for all automated control systems. The following table depicts
categorization of various software systems as per GAMP 5.
The system categorization is intended to evaluate and determine appropriate validation activities and
deliverables. Once a system is evaluated as a whole, the functionality of individual components can be
assessed for potential risk to data integrity and tested accordingly. In determining the system
categorization, functionality and intended use of the system are to be considered

The model suggests that after completion of first validation exercise, Computerized System shall be
governed by formal change control process during operation phase. All changes shall follow the ‘V’

model depending upon the impact assessment. After completion of use of the system, the same will be
retired following a defined retirement plan.
