High-Performance Pharmaceutical Granulation Machines
Pharmaceutical Granulation Solution
Canaan Technology specializes in pharmaceutical granulation equipment and technologies that transform fine powders into high-quality granules—ideal for the production of tablets, capsules, and other solid dosage forms. Our granulation process meets the highest standards of efficiency, consistency, and regulatory compliance.
What is Granulation in Pharmaceutical Industry?
Granulation in the pharmaceutical industry is the process of converting fine powders into cohesive granules, improving flowability, compressibility, and content uniformity. This step is crucial for consistent tablet quality and dosage accuracy.
- Improve Flowability
The granulation process makes powder particles more uniform, improving their flow through production equipment and reducing clogging and inconsistencies.
- Enhance Compressibility
Granulation gives powder particles better compression properties, allowing the formation of tablets with moderate strength and smooth surfaces.
- Ensure Uniformity
Types of Granulation in Pharmaceutical Industry

Frequently Asked Questions
Table of Contents
What’s the Difference Between Wet and Dry Granulation?
| Aspect | Wet Granulation | Dry Granulation |
| Binder Use | Requires a liquid binder | No binder or liquid needed |
| Moisture Sensitivity | Not ideal for moisture-sensitive materials | Ideal for moisture- and heat-sensitive materials |
| Granule Strength | Produces dense, strong granules | Strength varies with compaction |
| Dust Generation | Minimal due to moisture | Higher dust during processing |
| Processing Time | Longer, includes drying step | Faster, no drying needed |
| Applications | Tablets, capsules, sprinkle granules | Friable powders, moisture/heat-sensitive formulations |
How Does the Granulation Process Work?
Mixing: Active ingredients and excipients are combined.
Granulation: The mixture is agglomerated via wet or dry methods.
Drying: (Only in wet granulation) The granules are dried to the desired moisture level.
Sizing: Granules are screened to ensure uniform particle size.
Our granulation process in pharmaceutical industry meets the strictest global pharma granulation guidelines.
Why is Granulation Important in Pharma?
Granulation plays a key role in pharmaceutical manufacturing, as it improves tablet granulation, ensures content uniformity, and enhances compressibility and flowability in solid dosage forms like tablets and capsules. It’s essential for ensuring consistent drug release and quality control.
