The authors review developments in wet granulation using a twin-screw extruder. As a result of changing philosophies towards continuous manufacturing, new equipment is being introduced into ...

Granulation is one of the most important unit operations in the production of pharmaceutical oral dosage forms. However, there are many different technologies each having different strengths and ...

Granulation is important in the pharmaceutical industry because of increased pressures due to the costs of manufacturing solid dosage forms. Granulation forms coarser collections from fine powder.

In dry granulation, powders bind because of the application of mechanical stress. As particles are forced to be within closer proximity, entrained air is forced out, bulk density increases, and a ...

Granulation and compression are two very important processes that are carried out extensively by most pharmaceutical companies. However, the theory of granulation is little understood and the ...

Granulation processes are used for converting light fine powders into large, dense granules to make fast-dissolving drinks, optimized blends for compression tableting, and granules for waste water ...

Dry granulation, also called roller compaction, has been a popular method in recent years and has many applications. The powder is compressed between revolving rollers to generate flakes. The flakes ...
