   In this paper, we examine the movement of particles within a continuous powder mixer using PEPT (Positron Emission Particle Tracking). The benefit of the approach is that the particle movement along the vessel can be measured non-invasively. The effect of impeller rotation rate, powder flow rate,...

   Contributor(s):: Sacher, Stephan, Khinast, Johannes G.

   In this chapter, the main processing steps and manufacturing aspects of solid dosage forms are described and the relevant literature is reviewed. Starting with powder feeding, powder blending, granulation (dry and wet), and drying the most important unit operations to make compactable granules...

3. Analysis of powder phenomena inside a Fette 3090 feed frame using in-line NIR spectroscopy
