Fluid bed granulation is a widely used process across various industries, especially in pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food production. This process transforms fine powders into uniform granules, making materials easier to handle and more suitable for downstream processing, such as tableting or capsule filling.  The importance of fluid bed granulation cannot be overstated—it ensures the uniform […]

How Does a Roller Compactor Granulation Work? In pharmaceutical manufacturing, granulation is a crucial step to convert fine powders into free-flowing granules, which are then used to produce solid dosage forms such as tablets or capsules.  Granules are preferred because they have better flow properties and compressibility, which helps ensure uniformity in dosage and tablet […]

What Is Roller Compactor Pharmaceutical? In pharmaceutical manufacturing, the production of solid dosage forms—such as tablets and capsules—relies on precise processes to ensure consistent quality and efficacy.  A crucial part of this process is granulation, where fine powders are transformed into granules that are easier to handle and compress into uniform tablets. Granulation improves the […]

The Difference Between High Shear Granulation and Fluid Bed Granulation What is granulation? Granulation is a vital process in the pharmaceutical industry, primarily used to improve the properties of powders, such as flowability, compressibility, and uniformity.  It converts fine powders into granules, which are easier to handle and process during the manufacturing of tablets, capsules, […]

What Is Fluid Bed Granulation? Imagine a method that turns a bunch of powder into perfect, easy-to-handle granules. That’s fluid bed granulation in a nutshell. What is fluid bed granulation? Fluid bed granulation is when fine powder is suspended in hot air, creating something almost like a fluid. Then, a binding agent is sprayed onto […]

In the world of tablet manufacturing, choosing the right equipment is critical to ensuring efficiency, quality, and scalability. The two most common types of tablet press machines are the single-punch and rotary tablet presses.  In this article, we’ll break down the key differences between single-punch and rotary tablet presses, helping you determine which is the […]
