FAQ


Complex granulation equipment transforms fine powders into granules using methods like wet, dry, and fluid-bed granulation. Commonly utilized in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, food, chemicals, and agriculture, these machines enhance product flowability, compressibility, and consistency.

  • Rising demand for oral solid dosage drugs worldwide
  • Expanding nutraceutical and functional food production
  • Regulations encouraging consistent, high-quality manufacturing
  • Growing need for scalable, flexible, and automated equipment

Granulation is the process that allows powders to be compressed into tablets, capsules, or uniform blends. It enhances several aspects, including:

  • Enhanced flow properties for easier handling.
  • Dosage uniformity in pharmaceuticals
  • Product stability and shelf life are important considerations.
  • Improved dissolution and absorption of drugs.

Wet Granulation Equipment: Uses liquid binders to form granules

Dry Granulation Equipment: Compacts powders without liquid 

Continuous Granulation Systems: Enable non-stop, efficient production with real-time monitoring.
