   Peer-reviewed journal | 09 Jun 2023 | Contributor(s):: Sacher, S, Fathollahi, S, Khinast, JG

   Purpose Accurate and reliable feeding of small quantities of powder is crucial in many industries. It is particularly true in the case of pharmaceutical manufacturing. First, the exact dosage of highly potent active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) is essential. Second, due to the shift towards...

   Peer-reviewed journal | 09 Jun 2023 | Contributor(s):: Sacher, S, Heindl, NUrich, JAA, Kruisz, J, Khinast, JG

   Continuous feeding of small quantities of powder is increasingly applied in pharmaceutical manufacturing. With that regard, what is crucial is not only the feasibility, but also the accuracy and stability. To enable stable processing, low amounts of various agents, e.g., lubricants, can be used....
