Granular materials are abundant in nature, and in most industries, either the initial
constituents or final products are in granular form during a production or processing stage …

The objective of the present work was to carry out a systematic evaluation of flow of
pharmaceutical powders and granules using compendial and non-compendial methods …

The flow of powders can often play a critical role in the manufacturing of pharmaceutical
products. Many of these processes require good, consistent and predictable flow of powders …

This paper focuses on two aspects of continuous powder mixing, namely characterizing the
effects of material properties on the bulk powder flow behavior, and developing continuous …

Abstract Effects of particle size, morphology, particle density, and surface silicification, on
powder flow properties were investigated using a ring shear tester. Flow properties were …

Poor flow properties hinder the easy handling of powders during industrial‐scale
processing. In this work, we show that powder flow can be substantially improved by …

This paper presents a method for evaluating the steady state performance of loss-in-weight
powder feeding equipment and then demonstrates the use of the method in evaluating the …

In this article the gravitational displacement rheometer (GDR) is used to characterize the
effects of formulation composition and environmental conditions (moisture) on flow …

This paper studies systematically the effect of a feed frames, a device used in rotary tablet
presses to drive the powders into compression dies, on the properties of the powders …

Introduction The identification and graphical representation of process design space are
critical in locating not only feasible but also optimum operating variable ranges and design …
