How Granulation Transforms Powder into Pills | Know The Process | Pharma Now

Granulation turns fine powders into compressible granules, and it decides whether a tablet flows, compresses, and delivers a uniform dose. This Know The Process explainer shows how it works. In this episode of Know The Process – Pharma in Motion, we explain pharmaceutical granulation: how powder blends of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients become structured granules that can be compressed into tablets or filled into capsules, and why the step matters for flowability, dose uniformity, tablet strength, and batch-to-batch consistency. What This Video Covers: ✅ Why granulation is critical to solid oral dosage forms ✅ Wet vs. dry granulation, and when to use each ✅ How granules are tested for size, moisture, API distribution, and compressibility ✅ Where granulation is used: tablets, capsules, nutraceuticals, and veterinary medicines ✅ How granulation supports quality assurance and GMP compliance Made for formulation scientists, process engineers, production and QA teams, and anyone learning how solid oral dosage forms are made. 📖 Read more on Pharma Now: Pharma Granulation: Complete Process Guide: https://www.pharmanow.live/pharma-man...
