Abstract: The invention relates to a plant for production of tablets, a process for production of tablets and tablets as such. The plant comprises a mixing device producing a mixed liquid feed of active pharmaceutical ingredient and excipients. A spray dryer atomizes the mixed liquid feed and dried particles with a high flowability are produced. The dried particles are subsequently compressed to tablets in a tablet press. The invention possesses several advantages, including the possibility of using an auto­ mated rotary tablet press directly, thereby reducing the number of unit operations in the tablet production.
