The first step in producing optimized granules for tableting is the wet granulation itself which produces agglomerates that range from a few hundred microns to several millimeters in diameter. These are typically wet milled prior to drying in a fluidized bed dryer. Subsequent milling of a dried particles produces a closely specified granular feed for the tablet press.
This Application Note discusses a number of topics, including:
- Applying high shear granulation
- Using inline particle sizing in granulation scale-up studies
- Tracking the granulation process
- Assessing the impact of probe position
- Assessing the reproducibility of granulation and scalability
- Assessing the impact of granulation scale on tablet quality
