ABSTRACT
Shearing of the powder bed occurs in many granulators. The low-shear granulators included in this chapter are granulators that, for reasons of agitator speed, sweep volume, or bed pressures, generate less shear than granulators discussed in other chapters such as extruders or the high-shear mechanical granulators. Also considered to be low shear, but covered in other chapters, are fluid bed granulators.
