This 2-day course is designed to give participants a comprehensive overview of granulation techniques for powder formulations used in the chemicals, food and pharmaceutical industries.

There will be lectures, hands-on laboratory projects and demonstrations to enable participants to apply theoretical knowledge from lectures to the actual preparation and evaluation of various formulations and their resultant granules. Granulation is extensively used in the food and pharmaceutical industries for the manufacturing of tablets and pellets. The production process is predictable and reproducible, enabling granules of consistent quality to be produced.

Who Should Attend

  • Manufacturing & production professionals in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, life sciences, flavours and fragrances and food industries
Prerequisites
  • Diploma/degree in engineering or science or with relevant working experience
  • Basic understanding of chemistry (minimum ‘O’ Level or equivalent)

What You Will Learn

Topic 1

  • Granulation basics, technologies and optimisation techniques
  • Why granulation, dry and wet granulation technologies, granulation process parameters optimisation
  • High shear, fluidised bed, roller compaction

Topic 2

  • Characterisation of granule & pellet quality
  • Particle size and shape, surface area, bulk and particle density, granule strength and friability, flow, moisture content, fines

Topic 3

  • Design, execute and document bench-scale studies to optimise appropriate operating parameters for obtaining quality granules
