SOLID DOSE MANUFACTURING SOLUTIONS
-
High-efficiency filtration and controlled airflow maintain a clean workspace, preventing cross-contamination and ensuring reliable containment across diverse industrial and laboratory applications.
-
Flexible Containment Isolators provide containment standards better than can be achieved with Downflow Booth technology, and often compare favorably with a Rigid Isolator system.
-
The Powder Rheology Accessory expands the DHR’s capabilities to powders, enabling the characterization of behaviors during storage, dispensing, processing, and end-use.
-
Handling highly potent active pharmaceutical ingredients calls for containment systems that protect operators while maintaining strict OEL thresholds below 0.1 μg/M3 throughout every transfer step.

Basic Powder Flow Characterization [USP <1174>]:
A powder flow analysis is an indicator of how well formulation will release from the hopper during the tableting. It is important to know that the developed formulation is showing ‘Mass Flow’ or ‘Funnel Flow’ or ‘Rat Holing’.
Powder blend shows ‘Mass Flow’ when the entire solid bed is in motion during the discharge of material from the outlet. This is a ‘First-in-First-Out’ process. Hoppers offering ‘Mass Flow’ have steep and/or low-friction walls. This flow offers ‘No-Arching’, ‘Less Segregation’, and ‘Stable Powder Flow’.
When the hopper is not sufficiently steep and smooth enough to ensure sliding along its wall, the powder blend exhibit ‘Funnel Flow’. Such hoppers are sensitive to arching and ratholing. In this case, powder discharge from the hopper is not predictable.
