  An Overview of the Conventional and Recent Trends in the Granulation Technologies
  Author(s): Sunil G. Shingade and Satish M. Mane*
  
  Granulation is the particle enlargement by the agglomeration of fine particles. Granulation is necessary to avoid the segregation of powder mixture constituents. It is also needed to increase the compressibility and flow ability of the powder mixture. Dry (conventional and pneumatic) and wet are the two main types of the granulation technologies and would be selected on the physiochemical properties of the granulating materials. There are various types of advanced wet granulation technologies such as inverse wet granulation, steam granulation, moisture activated dry granulation, and thermal adhesive granulation, melt granulation, freeze granulation and foam granulation which are in current practices. High shear and low shear wet granulation technologies are considered as the conventional paths for carrying out the granulation. The present review article deals with the mechanism of the..
