Roller compactor pharmaceutical capsule granules dry granulator

Roller Compactor for dry granulation is a machine used in the pharmaceutical industry for dry granulation processes. Dry granulation is a method of particle size enlargement without the use of liquids or solvents. The after granulation, the granules can be used for pressing tablets, filling capsule or packaging directly without drying. 

The roller compactor consists of two counter-rotating rollers that compress and compact the powder material between them. The compacted material is then milled or crushed into granules of the desired size.

Roller compaction (Dry granulation) is a compaction process that employs the use of three key components:

1. The feeding system: carries the raw material from the mouth of the machine to the compacting unit

2. The compaction unit: uses two counter-rotating rolls to compact the material

3. The size reduction unit: mills the compacted material to the desired particle size

Altogether, these components allow for the production of more precise and accurate pharmaceutical products. 

The above qualities are among some of the reasons why most pharmaceutical companies employ roller compaction for their production operations. Some examples of pharmaceutical materials for which this method is often used include inactive compounds (e.g., fillers, preservatives, excipients and coloring agents), active ingredients, herbal extracts, and controlled release and immediate release drugs.
