Roll compaction systems are essential in industrial, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical manufacturing, comprising three key components: (1) feed system, (2) roll compactor, and (3) mill. This process, also known as dry granulation, involves the compression of fine powders between two rotating rolls to eliminate air and form a compact. The properties of the compact, such as
Slugging and roller compaction are both used in the industrial, pharmaceutical, & nutraceutical industry for granulation, but they differ in their processes and outcomes. While both slugging and roller compaction are methods of granulation in manufacturing, roller compaction is often favored for its efficiency, control over particle size, and suitability for continuous processing. The IPA
PRINT THIS POST Roller compaction is commonly used for dry granulation in the industrial, pharmaceutical, & nutraceutical industries. It involves a combination of compression and milling to create granules of uniform size and shape. Roller compaction is a highly efficient, cost-effective process; making it an ideal choice for many applications. Dry granulation equipment specifically
PRINT THIS POST A main function of roll compaction includes the removal of air between material particles to form a hard sheet of compact. When compacting with a twin feed screw design, the majority of materials can be processed efficiently. However, there are still some materials that cannot achieve efficient air removal with the
PRINT THIS POST A typical roll compaction system is configured with an initial feeding device, roll compactor, mill, screener, and conveyor. Material enters the compactor (via twin feed screw design), is formed into compact, milled, and screened to separate recycle from the final product. The fines & overs are blended with fresh feed and recycled
Print this Post The heart of any roll compaction process is the roll surface. It is common for system efficiency to unknowingly diminish overtime for a number of reasons - employee turn over (both operators & maintenance), changes to the equipment itself, and changes made to the upstream equipment. Gradual production
