Tableting and Granulation End-Point Calculator

Designed for optimizing and scaling-up tableting and granulation processes, this software tool is now available as a 30-day trial version that can be downloaded at www.mcc-online.com. The tool includes tableting and granulation end-point calculators, comprehensive help, and references. Among the many features of the tableting calculator, it can evaluate at what speed different production presses can offer the minimum satisfactory consolidation time, and what tablet output can be expected from different presses at that optimal speed. It can also calculate performance efficiency factors (e.g., feeding, consolidation and ejection efficiency numbers). One of the key features of the granulation end-point calculator is its ability to determine the net impeller power for various wet mass conditions (using density, viscosity, fill ratio, mixer speed, blade radius, or Newton (power), Froude or Reynolds dimensionless numbers).
