TL;DR: In this paper, a population balance model is developed to describe the breakage of granola as it is conveyed through a pneumatic conveying pipeline rig, which incorporates the influence of conveying pressure, exposure time and pipeline geometry, and also related to parameters associated with aggregate formation such as granulator mixing speed and time.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of binder spray rate and air pressure on key aggregate quality attributes were studied in the fluidized bed granulation process, and the experimental results showed that a decrease in the air pressure leads to larger mean granule size.

TL;DR: In this paper, Markov chain simulation is introduced in order to model and analyse the particle size enlargement process in fluidized bed granulation where aggregation and breakage occur simultaneously.

TL;DR: In this article, a high shear mixer granulator was used to produce granola in a wet granulation process followed by oven drying, and the results enabled the optimal ranges of impeller speeds, liquid binder addition rate and the wet massing time to be established for this system, thereby aiding the manufacturing process in terms of controllability and reproducibility.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the performance of high shear and fluidized bed granulation processes for granola and found that the high-shear granulation process led to larger, denser, less porous and stronger aggregates compared with the fluidised bed process.
