Product Line / Solid Dosage Granulation and Drying Line
Solid Dosage Granulation and Drying Line for Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
Coordinate wet granulation, sizing, fluid-bed drying and final blending in a connected solid-dosage process. Specify the granulation and drying line for the formulation: a granulation line for solid dosage form production connects the granulation equipment with an agreed granule drying and transfer duty.
Process Overview & Working Principle
Weighed powders enter a wet granulator, where binder addition and cutting form a wet mass and granules. Wet sizing prepares the feed for fluid-bed drying. Dried material is sized and transferred to a hopper blender before the next manufacturing stage.
Production Process Flow
- Weigh and feed ingredients
- Wet mixing and binder addition
- Wet granulation and sizing
- Fluid-bed drying
- Dry sizing and screening
- Final blending and transfer
Line Features
- Vacuum conveying or lifting arrangements can connect the selected stages.
- Wet-sizing equipment is selected for the consistency of the granules.
- Cleaning, containment and batch tracking must be reviewed across the complete route.
Suitable Materials
- Powder formulations requiring a coordinated wet-granulation and drying route.
- Review the formulation, moisture, temperature sensitivity and required final product condition before selecting the complete process.
Technical Configuration

| Item | Configuration / Reference |
|---|---|
| Process route | Wet granulation → sizing → fluid-bed drying → final blending |
| Transfer options | Vacuum discharge or lifting arrangement, selected for the layout |
| Feed-dependent option | Oscillating wet sizing can be reviewed for more viscous feeds |
| Required output | Specified from the material balance and agreed production schedule |
| Final supply scope | Equipment list, utilities, cleaning and controls recorded in the QUANPIN proposal |
Project Selection and Interfaces
Confirm batch mass, binder system, granule-size target and allowable thermal exposure. Agree transfer connections, cleaning procedures and the documentation needed for the installation.
Review compatible equipment in our product range and define the utility, cleaning, containment and control interfaces before the supply scope is agreed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is every line supplied with the same equipment?
No. QUANPIN defines the equipment sequence, supply boundary and controls around the selected feed, product targets and available utilities.
What information is required for a proposal?
How is the process confirmed?
Agree a representative material specification, capacity basis and acceptance procedure. Trials or supporting process data should establish the operating conditions and finished-product requirements.
