This workshop on granulation and tableting is a perfect combination of theory, case studies and practical demonstrations.
The workshop provides the basics of granulation and compaction and outlines their applications in powder processing.
This workshop is the perfect investment for those who wish to acquire knowledge of the various methods of granulation and the compaction of granules to tablets.
Typically, operators and researchers from the pharmaceutical and related industries will profit from this workshop – giving a detailed overview of granulation methods and selection of most feasible granulation method considering API characteristics.
