Dry granulation system for pharmaceutical powders
In pharmaceutical manufacturing, ensuring consistent powder flow and precise particle size is essential to prevent process inefficiencies. Challenges such as powder caking, segregation, and inconsistency in dosage forms can disrupt production and compromise product quality.
Optimizes powder flow and particle size
The dry granulation system from The Fitzpatrick Company efficiently compacts powders into larger granules. Unlike traditional wet granulation, it eliminates additional processing steps and reduces risk of ingredient damage. Utilizing a roll compaction method, the system compresses powder between counter-rotating rolls to form a dense ribbon, which is then milled to achieve uniform particle size. It’s suited for pharmaceutical applications where powder conditioning is critical. With adjustable parameters such as feed system speed, roll dimensions, and mill rotor design, this system ensures precise control over the granulation process. It supports improved powder flow, prevents segregation, and enhances compressibility for tablet manufacturing. The Fitzpatrick Company provides a versatile granulation solution tailored to pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, and chemical industries.
