Wet Granulation

Advanced milling and sizing solutions for pharmaceutical OSD powders.

Wet granulation is a widely used method in OSD as it improves the flowability, compressibility and bulk density of pharmaceutical powders in order to produce tablets, capsules, and sachets that are consistent in weight, contain the target % of API & excipient in each dose with content uniformity (CU), and have the correct bioavailability for a therapeutic dose.

Over the decades, the Quadro brand has supplied mills that deliver precise, reliable particle size reduction for the three key stages in the wet granulation process:

  1. Screening, Delumping & Milling
  2. Wet Milling / Wet Mass Delumping
  3. Dry Milling / Calibrating

Each mill is designed to meet strict pharmaceutical quality and cGMP standards, ensuring reliable performance and consistent product quality. Quadro offers scalable solutions from the lab to production, which maximize efficiency, minimize waste, and ensure powders are consistently prepared to meet OSD production targets.

Dry Granulation

Delivering lean, efficient roll compaction equipment for pharmaceutical dry granulation processing.

Dry granulation converts fine powders into larger, free-flowing granules without the need for liquid binders or drying steps. Powders are compacted into dense ribbons, which are then milled into uniform particles. The result is improved powder flow, easier handling and enhanced tableting performance, making dry granulation an efficient choice for moisture-sensitive and heat-sensitive materials.

Manufacturers worldwide choose the Fitzpatrick brand as it is recognized for its reliability, process consistency and system design.  With a scalable range of solutions, from lab-scale to production-scale systems, customers find the ideal fit for every stage of development & manufacturing.  Process flexibility is further assured with the ability to alternate between knife or bar rotor, along with an extensive range of screens for the hammer mill.
