The characterization techniques are related to the grains’ properties such as granulometry, chemical composition, morphology, etc., or to the bulk powder behavior such as density, flowability, ...

This article reflects on the challenges that predicting powder flowability currently pose to the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry and considers some of the benefits that can accrue when companies ...

Composed of a silo with different apertures associated with a dedicated electronic balance to measure the flowrate, the GranuFlow is an easy to use powder flowability measurement device.

But these procedures have traditionally been fraught with problems due to their unpredictable and irregular behaviour, specifically with respect to flowability. Many common manufacturing problems are ...

8 If these fine particles are present in a significant quantity, then they can negatively affect successive formulation operations. Table 4: Most conventional flowability descriptors measured after ...

These changes affect the cohesiveness of the powder, which, in turn, influences its flowability. 1 Therefore, evaluating ...

Thanks to the fact that the drug powder typically has a flowability too low to be directly processed, the addition of specifically designed excipients is required to improve the flowability.
