Facilitate Handling Of Bulk Powders With Dry Granulation

In pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturing, multi-ton quantities of bulk raw materials—such as buffers, salts, and stabilizing chemicals—are essential to daily operations. These materials are typically prepared using a just-in-time approach to optimize efficiency and reduce waste. However, managing bulk powders at scale presents significant challenges that can disrupt workflows and compromise safety. Many raw materials have a natural tendency to cake, sometimes solidifying entirely, which can lead to costly process delays and interruptions. When materials cake, the weighing and dispensing steps become labor-intensive and time-consuming, which requires manual intervention that slows down production. Moreover, the handling of caked powders introduces serious safety risks. Dust generated during the process can pose respiratory hazards to operators, while the physical effort required to break apart solidified blocks increases the likelihood of injury.

To maintain operational efficiency and ensure worker safety, manufacturers must adopt proactive strategies for managing bulk powder materials. Explore advanced bulk material handling solutions to safeguard your processes.
