✦ Synopsis

Growth data from batch granulation experiments have been fitted to simple geometrical models. Layered granule growth approximates to concentric coating of core particles with binder, although the actual mechanism of growth is different. In the case of agglomeration, a relationship is established between mean granule size and binder content.
