Granutools at the PBP World Meeting  - March 23-26, 2026

Powder permeability measured across packing fractions reveals a strong link with tablet tensile strength. Higher permeability improves air release during compression, reducing porosity and enhancing tablet quality, supporting better formulation and process optimization.

Granutools will be present at the PBP World Meeting 2026 from March 23 to 26 in Prague, an international event gathering leading scientists and experts in pharmaceutics, biopharmaceutics, and pharmaceutical technology.

๐Ÿ“ Meet us at Booth #16

Our team members Roozbeh Valadian and Giuseppe Del Sorbo will be available throughout the event to present our powderโ€‘characterization solutions and discuss your challenges in solidโ€‘dosage development and process optimization.At our booth, you will find a selection of our key instruments:

  • GranuFlow – Flowability measurement
  • GranuPack – Tapped density & packing dynamics
  • GranuHeap – Static angle of repose & cohesive index
  • GranuCharge at Line – Real-time electrostatic charges analyzer 

๐Ÿงช Scientific Contribution: Poster Presentations

This year, Granutools will also contribute to the scientific program through poster presentations showcasing a new methodology for understanding the influence of powder permeability on tablet performance.This innovative approach combines the precision of the GranuPack with a custom permeability cell, enabling accurate measurements at different packing fractions—mimicking conditions relevant to die filling and compaction.

๐Ÿ”ฌ Key Insights From the Study

  • ๐Ÿ“‰ Permeability decreases as packing fraction increases, due to reduced void space.
  • ๐Ÿ“ˆ Higher permeability leads to stronger tablets, with fewer internal pores and improved tensile strength.
  • ๐Ÿ” Measuring permeability under processโ€‘relevant conditions is essential for accurate predictions during tableting.

These findings provide manufacturers with a fast and reliable way to link powder properties to tablet performance, supporting robust formulation design and efficient production.

๐Ÿ‘‰ We look forward to meeting you at the PBP World Meeting 2026 in Prague!
