## Notice

The Centre for Process Innovation Ltd (CPI) requires the following; Granulation or agglomeration, the process of size enlargement, is a very common process operation across industry ranging from fertilisers to pharmaceuticals. Wet granulation can enhance flow properties of pharmaceutical powder blends. This can be particularly useful in processes such as roller compaction and tabletting where the properties of a granulated blend are more suitable for compression compared to the raw materials. However, granulation processes inevitably produce a proportion of material outside of the desired particle size range. To avoid unnecessary losses, oversize material must be put through a milling process with the objective of reducing the oversize to the desired particle size range whilst at the same time producing a minimum amount of fines. CPI requires the supply of equipment suitable for milling wet granules without adversely affecting; granule compressibility, porosity, dissolution, or active drug distribution.
