Tutorial: Powder Processing Equipment: Advances In Selecting Construction Materials

By Tim Freeman, Freeman Technology

One of the main requirements of construction materials for pharmaceutical powder processing equipment is low friction. Not only do low-friction materials allow powders to flow easily through the process with minimal residue, they also give process designers greater flexibility with respect to equipment wall and valley angles to promote mass flow. Such materials can, however, prove challenging to test and specify with confidence.
