Workshop 265 – Granulation & Tableting Process (englisch) Innovative process and tools to achieve the perfect OSD product.
September 23 - September 25
1.950,00€ – 2.250,00€Why Participating?
This workshop on granulation and tableting is a perfect combination of theory, practical demonstrations, and case-studies.
The workshop provides the basics of granulating and compacting and outlines their applications in the powder processing industry.
This workshop is an investment for those who wish to acquire knowledge of the various methods of granulation and compaction.
Who should participate?
Typically, operators and researchers from the pharmaceucal and related industries and academia will profit from this workshop.
However, the workshop is also perfectly suitable for those who want to get a detailed overview of granulation and compaction methods in a short period of time.
