Addressing Raw Material Handling Challenges By Dry Granulation

During pharmaceutical manufacturing, buffers, salts, and stabilizing chemicals are often required in multi-ton quantities. Managing these large volumes presents significant challenges: materials may cake or clump, dust can form, and weighing becomes labor-intensive. These issues not only slow down production but can also lead to process interruptions, deviations in product quality, and increased safety risks for operators. Fortunately, many of these limitations can be addressed through the use of granulated raw materials. Dry granulation by roller compaction offers a powerful solution. This process transforms fine powders into free-flowing granules that improve material handling and reduce dust formation. Granulated chemicals are easier to weigh and dose accurately, which enhances process reliability and minimizes downtime.
