Application: In case of low bulk densities, bad flowing properties and the risk of segregation of the mixture tableting machines have problems to press high quality tablets which are required in the Pharmaceutical Industry. To press these mixtures a granulation technology is required to change the material behavior to god flowing, higher bulk density and…

Pharmaceutical drugs are made up of two main ingredients: APIs and excipients. An Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) is the primary, active components of a tablet or capsule that produces the effects of the drug. Excipients are the inactive components of the drug.  Particle size and the particle size distribution are crucial characteristics of APIs. The…

Excipients are crucial to drug delivery within the body. Generally speaking, an excipient is the inactive part of a tablet or capsule that works alongside the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) to help maintain the integrity and assist in the delivery/absorption of the drug. The particle size of an excipient can affect product performance, process-ability, stability and appearance…

Over the past 20 years Hosokawa has developed the expertise to provide a variety of solutions from a full blown closed loop inert system that starts with pre-blend, milling, post blending and ending with containment free packaging to basic gravity feed and discharge size reduction systems for producing powder cell culture media. Utilizing Hosokawa’s Nauta…

Dry Powder Inhalation (DPI) is the most common form of inhaled treatment for diseases such as asthma, COPD, bronchitis and emphysema. Patients use a device called a dry powder inhaler to deliver the appropriate dosage of an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) into the patient lungs. These inhalation devices contain a powder mixture that is under…
