1. High shear granulation is used to improve flowability, compressibility, bioavailability, homogeneity, and electrostatic properties of powders. It involves densification, agglomeration, and shearing and compressing action during mixing and granulation.
2. Granule growth in high shear mixers is very sensitive to the amount of liquid added and processing conditions like impeller speed and time. It proceeds initially by nucleation of particles and then coalescence of agglomerates.
3. Successful scale-up of high shear granulation depends on considering apparatus variables like mixer design, as well as process variables like impeller speed and liquid addition method, and product variables like material properties and binder

ConsequentIy, apparatus variabIes are more essentiaI when using high shear mixers.

Make sure the process on the small scale is understood controlled. ttempt to develop formulation/process in the same mixer model as the production scale (eometric similarity) Use the Froude number as an indication of the possibility of scale-up between two different mixer. %ry to work with slow impeller speed during development work in the lab scale mixers to simulate production scale mixers. Use relative swept volume as a good indication of how much work will be done on the granulate. stablish an ND PON% based on a reliable response factor and characterize the granulation and tablet properties at the same end point. Do an intentional overgranulation and undergrnulation and characterize granulation/tabletting properties. n most cases ranulation liquid can be scaled up linearly. %ry to keep the mixer load ratio consistent in the small and large scale mixers.
