The Granulation Process 101 Basic Technologies for Tablet Making

A tablet with good characteristics is not made on a tablet press; it is made in the granulation process. Joining particles within a given granulation process will improve flow and compression characteristics, reduce segregation, improve content uniformity, and eliminate excessive amounts of fine particles. The results will be improved yields, reduced tablet defects, increased productivity, and reduced down time. The objective of the process is to combine ingredients to produce a quality tablet.
