Spanish term

AFINADO

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Pharmaceuticals
This is part three of a three part question. This is from technical specifications describing the process of manufacturing pharmaceuticals, pills in this case. I think these are standard dry pills, not gel.

Anyway, I plan to post recubrimiento de los núcleos, engrosamiento and afinado as they are related, and I have no idea what they are.

Here is the text, it is a flow chart, ENGROSAMIENTO , AFINADO and COLORACIÓN all point towards PREPARACIÓN JARABES GRAGEADO.

Note from asker:
Sorry, there is a polishing step later on, but it got cut off when I cut and paste to the Proz question. After colouring comes polishing and then conditioning.
