    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
