Lab Scale Roller Compactor for Benchtop Dry Granulation

Dry granulation is the most LEAN, efficient method for conditioning powders. Compared to wet granulation, it utilizes minimal equipment / processing steps, and is unlikely to damage ingredients.

Fitzpatrick’s LCS processes powders with the same pressure as larger production-scale roller compactors. This ensures your development projects can progress from the lab to production with confidence.
