Granulation Experts

In the pharmaceutical industry, tablets remain the most commonly produced oral dosage form; as such, granulation, which allows primary powder particles to adhere and form granules, is one of the most important unit operations in drug manufacturing.

Techniques, Technologies, Experience and Solutions

A number of different granulation and compression technologies are available to pharmaceutical manufacturers, all of which have individual strengths and weaknesses depending on the specific application; however, the theory of granulation is often poorly understood and the selection of a particular machine and granulation method is frequently done on the basis of tradition and the operator’s own experience, rather than by using strict scientific or cost-benefit criteria. 

The basic techniques have changed dramatically in recent years and granulation for controlled release, extrusion, spheronization, fluidization techniques, spray drying, melt extrusion, oral dispersion technology and roller compaction are all new technologies that are increasingly being used in modern pharmaceutical production and offer many advantages compared with previously available processes.

In essence, a granulator is a multipurpose processor that’s equally suitable for the high-speed dispersion of dry powders, aqueous or solvent granulations, effervescent products, wet and melt pelletization. At GEA, we supply a complete range of granulation process equipment. With the company’s history of expertise in the market, our reliable legacy of supply, support and manufacturing excellence, you can rest assured that every pharmaceutical plant and system from GEA is a unique union of proven technology and individual solutions. 

Offering a wide selection of equipment, modules and systems, our experts are available to provide objective, unbiased advice on the merits and implications of each process and deliver the best solution for your specific granulation application.

GEAは農家の産業変革をサポート

2024年に入ってすでに最初の2カ月が過ぎようとしていますが、ヨーロッパでこれほど農家の活動が注目されたことはないでしょう。ベルリンやパリ、ブリュッセルといった各国の首都には、トラクターや糞尿タンカーを運転して抗議する農民たちが集結しており、世界の食料システム再構築は社会的な課題であって、農民だけがその負担を抱えることはできないという事実がまざまざと突き付けてられています。こうした情勢を背景に、GEA は先日ベルリンで開かれた専門家パネルに参...
