COMPRI®

Our COMPRI® Sugar range comprises a selection of directly compressible sucrose products with special properties. The raw material is very finely ground sucrose (EU I quality), with or without binders and can be used with other ingredients such as flavourings or active ingredients, pressing agents, and dyes.

Thanks to our unique fluid bed agglomeration production technology for COMPRI® Sugar, we provide you with high-quality, sucrose-based solutions, designed to be processed into compressed goods, tablets and instant products. Südzucker is the only producer who offers a fluid bed-agglomerated sugar for direct compression without any binder.

Südzucker COMPRI® Sugar: Unique Physicochemical Properties

Our unique agglomeration process sets us apart. Südzucker COMPRI® Sugar has completely different physicochemical properties and structure compared to regular sugar crystals. Even though the main component is sucrose, its amorphous form produces many benefits.

Benefits of COMPRI® Sugar

Directly compressible sugar
Excellent flow characteristics
Optimal binder for active substances (in liquid or powdered form)
Low friability
Outstanding dissolution properties
Can be dosed with high precision
Very good compression force/breaking load characteristics
Ensures ease of processing on modern high-speed presses
Masking agent effect
Storage stability/low hygroscopicity
Instant solubility
Nearly dust-free
Defined particle size distribution

Solubility of Different Sugar Excipients

We have designed our COMPRI® Sugar range so that you have a choice of sugar excipient solutions for your product – choose the composition and particle size distribution that works for you.
