Introduction To Roller Compaction
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.
