Study Notes
Powder Flow Properties for Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
- Good powder flowability is crucial for consistent manufacturing processes, especially tablet compression.
- Poor flowability can cause inconsistent tablet weights, uneven drug content, and difficulties in filling capsules.
- Pharmaceutical powders with good flow properties are essential for consistent and efficient manufacturing processes, particularly in tablet compression.
Angle of Repose Calculations
- Three examples of powder cone height (H) and diameter (D) are provided for calculating the angle of repose.
- Example 1: H = 120 cm, D = 350 mm
- Example 2: H = 12 inches, D = 130 cm
- Example 3: H = 560 mm, D = 450 mm
