We appreciate you letting us know that understanding powder flow and processability is a key area of interest.
Powder behaviour can influence a range of pharmaceutical manufacturing steps, from feeding and blending through to dosing and filling. Because different powder properties affect different unit operations, no single test gives a complete picture of processability. Methods such as tapped density, flow through an orifice and angle of repose can provide complementary insight into packing and flow behaviour, helping build a more complete understanding of how a formulation or feed material may perform during processing.
