How To Achieve A Dramatic Yield Increase Through The Use Of Anti-Segregation Technologies

A unique solution improves yields from less than 75% to over 98%.

"Our material handling process was very inefficient and we were lucky to yield 50% in-spec product” says the Director of a major generic pharmaceutical company, "and the handling labor was extensive. I can't even begin to tell you how frustrating it was."

The Director is discussing the problem his company had with manufacturing one of its key products.

"Saying this formulation was a challenge is an understatement. The majority of the ingredients are fines blended with large spherical granules. Any movement or disturbance causes the spheres to float to the top of the batch. We knew that the main cause of the low yields was due to ingredient segregation occurring between the V-blender and the Tablet Press but we were at a loss to find a feasible cure to the segregation issue.”
