News > Powder and Bulk Engineering article published: “Maintaining powder blend content homogeneity using dry granulation”

Our colleagues Albin “Al” Friedrich and Matt Walczer, both National Sales Managers at Alexanderwerk Inc. (USA),  recently wrote an article about how a roller compactor can be configured to properly and consistently provide a homogeneous powder blend during the granulation process. Additionally, the article covered in more detail how internal tests conducted on a WP 200 Pharma at Alexanderwerk in Montgomeryville (USA) were used to help recycle fines screened out during the granulation process and re-introduced during the compaction process.

Albin Friedrich & Matt Walczer introduce our WP 200 Pharma during last years Granulation Seminar at our US facility.

Alexanderwerk has a very attractive and patented solution that features a metered material flow back into its CombiVent chamber in the roller compactor’s feed hopper. Reintroducing off-size recycled granules using such a dual chamber feed hopper design delivers efficient mixing and homogeneous distribution during the granulation process.
