A roller compactor is a device used in pharmaceutical production for dry granulation, which is the process of converting powder or granules into compacted flakes or sheets. It is essential to the manufacturing of solid dosage forms like pills and capsules. The purpose of the roller compactor is to enhance the material's flow characteristics, density, and consistency, hence augmenting the overall efficacy and caliber of pharmaceutical production procedures.
The working principle of a roller compactor involves the following key steps:
Feeding: Powder or granular material is fed into the compaction zone.
Compaction: The material passes through two counter-rotating rolls, subjected to high pressure, resulting in the formation of a compacted sheet.
Size Reduction (Optional): The compacted sheet may be further processed through a mill or crusher to achieve the desired granule size.
Collection: The final granules are collected for further processing or directly used in the formulation of pharmaceutical products.
