Dans le cas des comprimés, le but de la granulation est surtout de modifier la texture du mélange pour augmenter sa densité, ceci afin qu'il coule bien dans la matrice et qu'il y ait le moins d’air possible entre les particules. [...] Les deux modes de granulation les plus utilisés sont la granulation par voie humide et la granulation par voie sèche [...] 2, record 1, French, - granulation

The general steps involved in a wet granulation process are : 1. The powdered ingredients are weighed and mixed intimately by geometric dilution. 2. The granulating solution or binder is prepared. 3. The powders and the granulation solution are kneaded to proper consistency. 4. The wet mass is forced through a screen or wet granulator. 5. The granules are dried in an oven or a fluidized bed dryer. 6. The dried granules are screened to a suitable size for compression. 7. A lubricant and a disintegrating agent are mixed with the granulation. 8. The granulation is compressed into the finished tablet. 2, record 2, English, - wet%20granulation

Dans la granulation par voie humide, les ingrédients actifs et les excipients sont mouillés avec une solution aqueuse ou contenant des solvants pour donner des granulés grossiers à particules de grand calibre. Ces granulés sont séchés, mélangés à des lubrifiants(stéarate de magnésium), des désintégrants ou liants, puis transformés en comprimés par compression. 3, record 2, French, - granulation%20par%20voie%20humide

Dry granulation converts primary powder particles into granules using the application of pressure without the intermediate use of a liquid. It therefore avoids heat-temperature combinations that might cause degradation of the product. Two pieces of equipment are necessary for dry granulation: first, a machine for compressing the dry powders into compacts or flakes, and secondly a mill for breaking up these intermediate products into granules. 2, record 3, English, - dry%20granulation

Granulation par voie sèche. La voie sèche est utilisée lorsque le principe actif ne supporte ni l'humidité, ni le séchage par la chaleur ou lorsqu'il est trop soluble dans les liquides de mouillage utilisables. Pour assurer une cohésion convenable entre particules, il est généralement nécessaire, comme dans la granulation par voie humide, d’ajouter à la poudre à granuler des liants ou agglutinants, mais ici sous forme de poudres sèches. La granulation par voie sèche comporte deux phases : la compression et le broyage-tamisage. 1, record 3, French, - granulation%20par%20voie%20s%C3%A8che
