  1. GRANULATION DR. MOHAMMAD KHALID ANWER Assistant Professor COLLEGE OF PHARMACY, PRINCE SATTAM BIN ABDULAZIZ UNIVERSITY

  2. CONTENTS • INTRODUCTION • METHODS OF GRANULATION • ADVANCED GRANULATION TECHNIQUES • CONCLUSION

  3. Introduction • Granules • Granulation • Granulation Technology

  4. Why we prepare granules when we have powders….?

  5. To avoid powder segregation. • To enhance the flow of powder. • To produce uniform mixtures. • To produce dust free formulations. • To eliminate poor content uniformity. • To improve compaction characteristics of mix.

  6. Contd... • To avoid powder segregation. -Segregation may result in weight variation. SATARA COLLEGE OF PHARMACY, SATARA.

  7. Contd... • To enhance the flow of powders. • (Higher flowability gives better filling of the dies or containers) • To produce uniform mixtures. • (Mixtures of various particles tend to segregate in transport or handling because of differences in particle size, shape and density)

  8. Dust free formulations. • (Decrease dust generation and reduce employee exposure to drug product) • To eliminate poor content uniformity.

  9. Methods of granulation • DIRECT COMPRESSION • COMPRESSION GRANULATION • WET GRANULATION

  10. When To Choose DRY method? • Drug dose is too high. • Do not compress well after wet granulation. • Heat sensitive drugs. • Moisture sensitive drugs. • e.g. Aspirin , Vitamins

  11. Steps in Dry Granulation

  12. Contd… How can we do it………?

  13. Contd… By two ways SLUGGING ROLLER COMPACTION Powder is squeezed between two rollers to produce sheet of material e.g. Chilsonator Large tablet produced in heavy duty tablet press.

  14. Contd… Equipments Has two parts, • Machine for compressing dry powder to form compacts. • Mill for breaking these intermediates to granule. • e.g. CHILSONATER • HAMMER MILL

  15. COMPRESSION granulation • It mainly involves three steps - • Milling of drug and excipients • Mixing of drug and excipients • Tablet compression

  16. Contd…

  17. wet granulation In this, powdered medicament and other excipients are moistened with granulating agent.

  18. Steps in wet granulation Contd…

  19. Contd…

  20. Contd…

  21. Methods Contd… • Single pot granulation • High shear mixture granulation • Fluid bed granulation • Extrusion- Spheronization

  22. Single pot granulation • The granulation is done in a normal high shear processor and dried in same equipment. • e.g. Single Pot Processor / One-Pot Processor

  23. Single pot granulator

  24. High shear mixture granulation

  25. Rapid mixer granulator

  26. ADVANTAGES Contd.. DISADVANTAGES • Short processing time. • Lesser amount of liquid binders required compared with FBG. • Highly cohesive material can be granulated. • Increase in temperature may cause chemical degradation of thermolabile material. • Over wetting of granules can lead to large size lumps formation.

  27. Fluid bed granulation • Fluidization is the operation by which fine solids are transformed into a fluid like state through contact with a air/gas. • Granulating and drying can be completed in one step inside the machine.

  28. Contd… -Homogeneous granules.---Gentle product handling.--Uniform spraying of all particles in the fluid bed.

  29. Contd… • Advantages • 1.It reduces dust formation during processing • 2. It reduces product loss • 3. It improves worker safety. • Disadvantages • The Fluid Bed cleaning is labor-intensive and time consuming. • 2. Difficulty of assuring reproducibility.

  30. Extrusion-Spheronization 1.Dry mixing of materials to achieve homogeneous dispersion. 2. Wet granulation of the resulted mixture to form wet mass. 3. Extrusion of wet mass to form rod shaped particles. 4. Rounding off (in spheronizer) 5. Drying

  31. Extrusion-Spheronization Different steps involved in the Extrusion- Spheronization process

  32. Advanced Granulation Techniques • Steam Granulation • Melt Granulation • Moisture Activated Dry Granulation (MADG) • Moist Granulation Technique (MGT) • Thermal Adhesion Granulation Process (TAGP) • Foam Granulation • Pneumatic Dry Granulation (PDG)

  33. Contd… • Freeze granulation Technology • Steam Granulation • Melt Extrusion Technology • Liquisolid Technique • TOPOTechnology • Continuous Flow Technology

  34. Granulation Characterization:
