DRY GRANULATION
DIRECT COMPRESSION
Possible particle
segregation
More equipment
Wetting and drying stages
are time consuming
Greater possibility of cross

Dispensing
One of the most critical steps in pharmaceutical manufacturing
manual weighing on a weight scale with material lifting assistance like
vacuum transfer and bag lifters
automated weighing
Issues:
dust control (laminar air flow booths, glove boxes)
weighing accuracy
multiple lots of active ingredient with different assays, moisture and residual
solvent content
cross contamination

Possible change in
polymorphic form
An increase in surface
area may promote the
adsorption of air - may
inhibit wetting of the drug
could be the limiting factor
in dissolution rate

Blending
Blending is the most difficult operation in the manufacturing process since perfect
homogeneity is practically impossible due to differences in size, shape and
density of particles

Blend uniformity/ Content
uniformity
Granulation
Principle: A size enlargement process that converts small particles into physically stronger &
larger agglomerates
Why do it
Provides homogeneity of
drug distribution in blend
Improves flow,
compressibility and
hardness of tablets
