DEFINITION
Granulation is the process of collect
ing particles together by creating bonds
between them. Bonds are formed by co
mpression or by using a binding agent
DEFINITION
Granulatingthe act or process of fo
rming or crystallizing into grains
DEFINITION
Granulator
-equipment that could take a larger c
Types of Granulator
Dry Granulation
uid solution
Wet Granulation
addition of a liqu
id solution (with or without binder)
Dry Granulation
Primary powder particles are aggrega
ted under high pressure
Roller Compaction
Powder is squeezed between two rollers
to produce sheet of material
Slugging
Large tablets produce in heavy duty tab
let press
Wet Granulation
includes Fluid beds, tumbling drums & pa
ns, and mixer-granulators
Mechanism
Wetting, nucleation and binder distribu
tion
Consolidation and growth
Attrition and breakage
Tumbling Granulation
Particles are set in motion by the tumbli
ng action caused by the balance betwee
n gravity and centrifugal forces
Includes discs, drums, pans and a ran
ge of similar equipment
Disc Granulator
Rotating disc with a rim to hold the tum
bling granules
Powder feed continuously fed to the dis
c, typically at the edge of the rotating g
ranulator bed
Liquid binder is added through a series
of single fluid nozzles distributed acros
s the face of the bed
Disc Granulator
Rotating Drums
mix materials by tumbling them in a rota
ting cylinder
take advantage of gravity to tumble, mi
x, and homogenize the wastes
