Dry Granulation
Dry granulation is a process used in the pharmaceutical and food industries to create granules from fine powders without the use of liquid binders. This method typically involves compressing the powder into large sheets or slugs, which are then broken down into smaller granules. The resulting granules have improved flow properties and are easier to handle during manufacturing.
This technique is particularly useful for materials that are sensitive to moisture or heat. By avoiding the use of liquids, dry granulation helps maintain the integrity of the active ingredients, making it a preferred choice for products like tablets and capsules.
