Handling and processing particles, powders and compacts are a challenge that spans fields ranging from agriculture including grain, feed and food to pharmaceutical manufacturing, and many other ...

Characterizing particles and understanding bulk powder behavior is critical to get the best pharma product. It is well known that particle characterization is an important consideration when ensuring ...

Powder and particle technology is an interdisciplinary field that investigates the properties, behaviour and application of particulate materials. It encompasses studies of particle size distribution, ...

Granulation processes are used for converting light fine powders into large, dense granules to make fast-dissolving drinks, optimized blends for compression tableting, and granules for waste water ...

Fluidized hot melt granulation (FHMG) is an emerging technique combining the advantages of both dry and wet granulation methods, and represents an innovative continuous granulation process capable of ...

In 26,400 BC, the first ceramic statue made from clay was fabricated in Brno, Czech Republic. Early examples of pottery emerged in Eastern Asia tens of thousands of years later (16,400 BC) in the ...

Engineers have developed a groundbreaking computational model to study the movement of granular materials such as soils, sands and powders. By integrating the dynamic interactions among particles, air ...

Ever wonder why sand can both run through an hourglass like a liquid and be solid enough to support buildings? It's because granular materials -- like sand or dirt -- can change their behavior, or ...

Granulation is important in the pharmaceutical industry because of increased pressures due to the costs of manufacturing solid dosage forms. Granulation forms coarser collections from fine powder.
