Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for manufacturing a tablet including (A) filling a starting material, which is in a solid form, in a first open cavity, which is formed by a first punch and a die, to obtain a second open cavity, which is filled at least partly with the starting material, (B) closing the second open cavity by a second punch to obtain a first dosed cavity, (C) compressing the starting material at a compression temperature below 37° C. by moving at least one out of the first punch and the second punch to obtain a second closed cavity, which has a smaller volume than the first closed cavity, which results in formation of a trapped tablet of the starting material in the second closed cavity, (D) removing the trapped tablet to obtain the tablet, which has a tablet temperature below 37° C. directly after removal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a technically advantageous method of producing low-dust granules of polymer additives or polymer additive mixtures. The granule-forming polymer additives are mixed together, the mixture is converted into a workable mass and pressed through an orifice. The pre-shaped strand-like extruded mass is cooled and, while still in a workable state, formed into granules by rolling, impressing, cooling and comminuting.
