Continuous Granulation
Scroll
Advanced Continuous Granulation Technology
Our granulation technology combines multiple unit operations, including mixing, coating, hydrating, and homogenizing, into a continuous process that transforms raw powders into uniform, high-performance granules. Wet and dry ingredients are fed simultaneously, with precise control over shear, mixing intensity, and residence time to achieve consistent particle size, density, and flow properties.
Codis Continuous Granulation Advantages & Applications
Our continuous granulation capabilities offer clear advantages for tablets, bars, and powders, including:
Integrated multi-step processing
allows continuous mixing, coating, hydrating, and homogenizing functions to work seamlessly together for maximum efficiency and product quality
Concurrent ingredient feeding
meters multiple wet and dry ingredients simultaneously for consistent granule composition
Flexible process control
adjusts residence time, mixing intensity, and shear to meet exact product requirements
Continuous manufacturing
minimizes lot-to-lot variation, enables larger batch runs, and correspondingly reduces testing costs
Optimized particle properties
yield high-density granules with excellent flow characteristics, reducing dust, and facilitating streamlined downstream processing
Strategically engineered particles
improve mouthfeel and/or drug release
