Understanding The Dry Granulation Process

Understanding The Dry Granulation Process

The dry granulation process is a process whereby granules are formed without the aid of any liquid solution, as the ingredient to be granulated is moisture- or heat-sensitive. To form these granules, it is important to use compacting and to densify the powder. A slugging tool or a roller compactor tablet press machine is used to conduct the dry granulation process.

Validation of dry mixing and tablet production processing

Validation of dry mixing and tablet production processing

Validation is establishing documented evidence which provides a high degree of assurances that a specific process or equipment will consistently produce a product or result meeting its predetermined specifications and quality attributes.This article focuses on the process of dry mixing of powders, as one of the steps in producing tablets.Validation can therefore be applied to the dry mixing process itself, as well as the overall manufacture of tablets.
