This workshop is designed for operators, supervisors, and process engineers responsible for granulation, compression, and downstream tablet performance.
The focus is execution, not theory. Attendees work directly with production-scale equipment, observe parameter changes in real time, and learn how to diagnose and correct common manufacturing problems.
Instruction is led by OEM experts and experienced practitioners from Fette, Glatt, and Techceuticals.
What You Will Learn
Reduce Granulation and Compression Defects
Identify root causes of common issues such as capping, lamination, sticking, and poor granule flow, and learn how to correct them through process and parameter adjustments.
Improve Tablet Robustness and Yield
Understand how granulation quality, drying, and compression settings impact tablet strength, weight control, and overall yield.
Understand Parameter Trade-Offs in Real Time
See how changes to key process variables affect outcomes during live demonstrations, not slides.
Confidently Troubleshoot Manufacturing Issues
Develop a structured approach to diagnosing and resolving problems across granulation, milling, and tablet compression.
Who Should Attend
- Operators and supervisors involved in granulation and tablet compression
- Process engineers supporting solid dosage manufacturing
This course is appropriate for hands-on manufacturing roles and technical staff looking to improve process understanding and troubleshooting skills
Hands-On Equipment & Demos
Live demonstrations include:
- Tablet presses from Fette
- Granulation and drying systems from Glatt
