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 ...

“The addition of roller compaction expands our granulation capability, especially in the area of moisture sensitive and density-challenged API’s. When used in conjunction with our microdose capsule ...

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 ...

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 ...

The moniker aptly describes the machine: combination roller. Take a double drum vibratory compactor, swap out the rear drum for an axle carrying four tires, and a manufacturer can field a machine that ...

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 ...
