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.
