Several challenges may be presented when processing powder blends: the blend may be prone to segregation, the creation of agglomerates may influence homogeneity, or component powders may poorly flow ...

As tests at GSK have shown, integrating powder testing into overall operations can optimize process understanding, and with it, raw material selection, equipment design, and process development. As ...

Using a novel automated microfilling system, the authors demonstrate that roller compaction followed by milling is a viable preprocessing technique for high-dose chemical-in-capsule dosage forms. The ...

Dry-powder cell-culture media (CCM) offer many advantages with respect to shipping and storage due to their reduced volume and increased stability. However, such media need to be highly soluble and ...

To illustrate the intelligent-compaction (IC) roller’s potential to increase production, Kevin Garcia—road and paving construction segment manager for Trimble Navigation—relates an experiment Trimble ...

David Hargreaves, managing director of one of the best known names in compaction equipment rental in Europe, Clee Hill Plant, says its partnership with MOBA for compaction control technology is a ...

Part of BOMAG’s roller Performance Line, the new BOMAG BW 177 BVO-5 PL single drum roller features three compaction modes – high and low amplitudes plus oscillation – making it efficient for a range ...

Granulation and compression are two very important processes that are carried out extensively by most pharmaceutical companies. However, the theory of granulation is little understood and the ...

There are significant benefits to dry granulation, in terms of cost-reduction and processing, and it can be used with sensitive materials. However, there is little indication as to which process ...
