Twin screw granulation — A literature review [PDF]
Abstract This review article addresses the currently available literature on twin screw granulation (TSG). TSG is an emerging technology rapidly gaining interest in the pharmaceutical industry as a method of continuous wet granulation. The control of the geometry of the granulator over the formation of granules and the mechanisms of granulation are ...
