Granule Production

Granule production is a method used in the production process of products used for various industrial processes or pharmaceutical, food, chemical, agricultural and other sectors. Granules are materials or products consisting of small, granular pieces. Granule production involves converting powder or liquid raw materials into grains of a certain size.

Granular production may include the following steps:

1. Preparation of Raw Material: Raw materials to be used for the process are cleaned, ground or mixed. This stage is important for the raw material to reach the desired grain sizes.

2. Mixing: If more than one raw material is used for granule production, these materials are mixed carefully. This is important to ensure homogeneous granule formation.

3. Granulation: Raw materials are combined by a means or process to form granules. The granulation process can be carried out by different methods such as wet granulation (forming granules with water or solution) or dry granulation (forming granules with pressure or compression).

4. Drying: Drying is done to reduce the moisture content of the granules and increase their durability. It is important that the granules remain at the desired size and hardness during this process.

5. Screening and Classification: Granules are often passed through screens to remove unwanted particles and control the size of the granules.

6. Packaging: Finally, the granules are packaged and made ready for marketing.

Granular production is a common process in many industrial sectors and is used in the production of many different products. Examples include applications such as the production of tablets in the pharmaceutical industry, the production of coffee granules or grain products in the food industry, and fertilizer granules in the agricultural sector. This process helps make the raw material more useful, portable and storable.
