Abstrakt: This paper reports the use of an in-gap ribbon porosity calculation for the optimisation of roller compaction ribbon parameters in order to control downstream granule and tablet properties for a typical pharmaceutical formulation. The study demonstrates the effect of changes to roll speed and roll gap on the relative level of ribbon compaction for ribbons with equivalent in-gap porosities. It is demonstrated that in-gap ribbon porosity can be applied to enable optimization of the downstream granule processability characteristics for a typical pharmaceutical formulation and an understanding of the control space of a roller compaction process.
