A new model predicts fluidized bed granulation humidity by tracking moisture mass balance. This tool helps optimize parameters for reliable granulation and process scale-up.

Area of Science:

  • Chemical Engineering
  • Pharmaceutical Technology

Background:

  • Bed humidity is crucial for reliable fluidized bed granulation.
  • Controlling this parameter ensures consistent product quality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a predictive model for bed humidity in fluidized bed granulation.
  • To simulate the impact of key process variables on bed humidity.

Main Methods:

  • A moisture mass balance model was developed.
  • The model's predictions were validated against experimental data from multiple granulator scales (Glatt GPCG-1, GPCG-15, GPCG-60).

Main Results:

  • The model accurately simulates the effects of spray rate, binder concentration, airflow, inlet temperature, and dew point.

  • Experimental validation showed good agreement between predicted and measured loss on drying (LOD).

    • Conclusions:

    • The developed model provides a quantitative tool for predicting and controlling bed humidity.
    • This facilitates the selection of optimal granulation parameters and aids in process scale-up.
