Source : Yenchen Technical Process Consultant, Dr. Fred Rowley
Advantages of Roller Compaction (Dry Granulating)
- Great technology for actives sensitive to heat, moisture or both.
- Suitable for compounds that have a low melting point.
- May also be used to improve density.
- No drying step.
Disadvantages of Roller Compaction (Dry Granulating)
- Inability to measure important product attributes.
- Usually lacks precision.
- Materials tend to lose mechanical strength.
- Not as efficient as other granulating technologies.
- Yields may suffer.
- May produce a granule which is too dense.
Why Dry Granulate (Roller Compact)?
- To granulate materials which are sensitive to heat and/or moisture.
- Produce a uniform particle size range.
- Improve flow properties.
- Control dust.
- Control bulk density.
- Produce uniform blends.
- Control particle hardness.
- Improve wetting or dispersion rates.
