Problems with this approach
• Large numbers of experiments at various scales required
• Rela$onships do not easily transfer across different types of equipment
• Very simplis$c approach to powder flow and granule mechanics
• Distribu$on of granule a_ributes is not predicted directly
• Impossible to scale keeping all granule a_ributes constant

No good model for mechanical dispersion nucleation
Need general approaches to powder flow models (velocity and stress fields)
Little validation of multidimensional models in process equipment
Liquid distribution poorly represented in the PB models
Getting reliable particle scale information a challenge
Few models on how intra-granule structures are built
The “100g” tool kit for complete characterization of real materials
Few of these exist!

Take home messages
• Primary par$cle proper$es are very important in determining downstream delivery form processes and product a_ributes
• Mul$scale and compartmental approaches have a lot of promise to develop predic$ve design models for granula$on processes
• Con$nuous granula$on offers significant poten$al improvement in both design and opera$on
• Integra$on of con$nuous manufacture through to delivery form is the future
