Why do we manufacture granules?

Granules are prepared for tablet compression because of the following main reasons.

  • To enhance flow because powders flow is poor.
  • To prevent weight variation.
  • To reduce dusty environment because powders are dustier.
  • To prevent segregation.
  • To improve content uniformity.
  • To improve compaction.
  • Powders are elastic so tend to cap but granules are plastic so prevent tablet capping.

What is a rat hole?

Rathole is a powder flow defect in which powder adheres to the walls of compression machine hopper or blender walls and stops the flow against walls creating a hole in the middle. It results in weight variation and fragile tablets during compression.
