The GranuDrum instrument is an automated powder flowability measurement technique predicated on the rotating drum principle. The drum is a horizontal cylindrical with transparent sidewalls and it is ...

Powder is a collection of single solid particles, which in most cases may be considered a basic unit. Powder is typically comprised of solid particles, interparticle voids, as well as open and closed ...

Cohesion is often seen as a key factor to bulk powder flowability and is frequently blamed for problems in powder processing. Particles attract to one another in cohesive powder to create agglomerates ...

Temperature can have a strong impact on the behaviour of powders. At elevated temperatures the powders can become sticky or exhibit partial melting resulting in a decreased or increased flowability.

Freeman Technology and GEA Pharma Systems are collaborating to advance the application of continuous wet granulation and drying technology in the pharmaceutical industry. The work involves Freeman ...
