The primary step in size enlargement is agglomeration, the formation of a ball or sphere by clumping particles together. Each type of equipment uses one of five agglomeration methods: pressure, spray, tumbling, thermal, or mixing....
Raw materials undergo size reduction through different mechanisms: impact, compression, and attrition. One way to classify size reduction equipment is into crushers and grinders, where grinders produce finer particles than crushers....
Tablet coating is the process of evenly covering particles with a substance by applying a series of thin layers. These coaters differ in their function and application....
