Granulation for Pharmaceutical
Technology
Beyond granulation processes, delivering excellence
Wet granulation has always had a significant impact on batch production of OSD forms. It provides a major contribution to solving or mitigating issues related to the characteristics of the raw materials and ensuring reliable and higher quality end products. The combination of a high shear granulator with a fluid bed dryer is the most widely popular granulation technology, due to high versatility and productivity, especially in the case of large product volumes and long production campaigns. However, there is a variety of granulation technologies available to better address efficiency in manufacturing and to speed up time to market. More than 40 years of experience in wet granulation at IMA Active have been spent meeting the challenge of making granulation a science and no longer an art handled by a few experts with extensive practical experience. IMA Active provides competence for support at many levels: process control, optimisation and development, scale-up and technology transfer, engineering and project management, thus becoming the ideal partner for the whole project.
IMA Active offers all wet granulation technologies in an innovative key, suited to modern manufacturing needs.
Efficient, no-risk, lean operations with reduced costs and a close eye on safety and sustainability.
