Dry granulation is the most Lean, efficient method for conditioning powders. Compared to wet granulation it uses less equipment and processing steps and is unlikely to damage the ingredients.
Dry Granulation (sometimes referred to as precompression or double compression) is a continuous manufacturing process that eliminates the need for additional time spent constructing batch sizes.
The process compacts powders into larger pieces or rolls, that can be granulated (broken down) into a dosage form, often leading to a tablet manufacturing activity.
With fewer process variables it is simpler to validate, optimize and scale. The dry granulation approach is a truly lean and straightforward way to condition powders. Dry granulation is a well-established method that can help you to improve your processing versatility by enabling more efficient manufacturing.
With wet granulation the batch size must match the machine's minimum and maximum fill capacities.
