Premium Pharmaceutical Roller Compactor for Efficient Dry Granulation

A dry granulator (also known as a roller compactor) is a machine that transforms dry powder into dense, uniform granules without using any liquids or heat for drying . The process follows three continuous steps: Compaction: Powder is fed between two counter-rotating rollers under high pressure, compressing it into dense sheets or ribbons . Milling: The ribbons immediately enter a milling unit where a rotor and sizing screen break them into granules of the desired size . Sieving & Recycling: A

No. Unlike wet granulation, a dry granulator does not require any binder, liquid, or solvent during the granulation process . It relies purely on mechanical compression to agglomerate powder particles. This is one of its biggest advantages, especially for moisture- or heat-sensitive materials
