In the Pharmaceutical Industry, compromise cannot be allowed regarding the quality of the final product. Tablets and capsules need the proper solubility, granulation, and Aqueous or Solvent solution for bonding. To avoid the chance of thermal decomposition, forms of drying are incorporated after the Aqueous or Solvent solution is applied to the granules. Granulation dryers play an essential role in the pharmaceutical market for drying wet slurry or caked powder.

Product failure can be catastrophic, especially in circumstances when lives are at stake. Transportation at high altitudes can alter the pressure of sealed products, and this pressure changes significantly with every flight. These pressure changes can damage gaskets, potentially exposing parts to humidity and contaminants that can alter performance.

There is a long and winding road between academic discovery and a drug’s entry into the pharmaceutical pipeline. Transforming research into viable compounds that pharma companies would fund and bring to market is challenging. Academic scientists come up with innovative ideas, but struggle to capture the attention of pharma companies. Biotechs have brought many more drugs to market, but just as many good medicines have yet to reach patients because the scientists lack the business expertise required to run a company.
