Abstract
Granuration is a useful manufacturing process, which is widely applied in various field of industry. It is especially important for phamaceutical product manufacturers to process or pre-treat raw materials to obtain the intended pellet demensions. In this study, the granulating conditions were optimized for an agitating type granulation process (one of the granulating processes) for pellet production. Parameter design was conducted using the Dynamic Operating Window (speed ratio method), exponential functions were used for the ideal functions followed by the calculation of smaller-the-better and lager-the-better SN ratios evaluate the window size.
