Particle Size Distribution: Why It Matters in Nutraceuticals

In the nutraceutical industry, particle size distribution (PSD) plays a critical role in determining product performance, consistency, and consumer experience. Whether you're formulating dietary supplements, functional foods, or botanical blends, the size and uniformity of particles directly affect how ingredients mix, flow, compress, and ultimately dissolve.

Dry Granulation vs. Wet Granulation: Which Is Right for Your Product?

When it comes to optimizing powder processing, choosing between dry granulation and wet granulation can significantly impact product performance, cost, and safety. At Toll Compaction, dry granulation is a cornerstone of their toll manufacturing services, especially for clients in the food, nutrition, and chemical sectors. This method compresses powders into granules without using liquids, making it ideal for moisture- or heat-sensitive materials. It enhances flowability, reduces dust, and improves bulk density—all while maintaining product integrity and minimizing processing steps.
