Among the high shear wet granulation equipments used in the pharmaceutical industry, two configurations are current: single pot process for which blending, granulation and drying are performed in the same apparatus and multiphase process that usually associates a mixer granulator and a fluid bed dryer. Pharmaceutical formulations are often developed with regard to a specific industrial apparatus, but production imperatives may require a switch to another type of equipment. In this work, granulation process switch was investigated at pilot scale on a first intention excipient formulation and with two drug substances chosen as model drugs on the basis of their different water solubility. Each one was tested at two concentrations, 1 and 25%. The volume of granulation liquid was first fixed at the same level whatever the granulation equipment and the formulation. In the second part of the study, the effect of the volume of granulation was highlighted. Regardless of the formulation tested, single pot granules, compared to multiphase one, had improved flow properties, compressibility and tablet cohesion but higher sticking phenomenon was observed when tableting. In the second part, the effect of an adjustment of the volume of granulation liquid for horizontal transposition between high shear granulation processes was discussed.
