In pharmaceutical solid dosage manufacturing, granulation is one of the first steps. Granulation is the process of collecting powder particles together by creating bonds between them either by compression or by using a binding agent. This increases the compressibility. For example, if one were to make tablets from either granulated sugar or powdered sugar, the granulated sugar would be much easier to compress than the powdered sugar. During the granulation process, one or more powders are combined into a granule, and this allows the tableting process to be predictable and to produce quality tablets within the required tablet-press speed range.
