Study Notes
Advantages of Powders in Pharmaceuticals
- Powders with particle sizes below a few micrometers can be produced quickly, enhancing manufacturing efficiency.
- Wet granulation process involves sieving the wet mass, which promotes rapid and uniform drying of the material.
Key Properties Affecting Powder Performance
- Flowability is crucial; it is influenced by particle size and its distribution.
- Free-flowing powders and granules optimize performance in high-speed filling equipment and tablet presses, ensuring product uniformity.
Importance of Particle Size in Mixing
- Mixing or blending solid pharmaceutical ingredients is more effective when they are of similar sizes, leading to a more uniform final product.
- Uniform size distribution among ingredients reduces inconsistencies during the mixing process, enhancing product quality.
