Several challenges may be presented when processing powder blends: the blend may be prone to segregation, the creation of agglomerates may influence homogeneity, or component powders may poorly flow ...

When it comes to compaction — whether it’s soil or asphalt — many contractors rely on past experience with similar materials to set amplitude and frequency, the number of passes and roller speed. Yet, ...

To illustrate the intelligent-compaction (IC) roller’s potential to increase production, Kevin Garcia—road and paving construction segment manager for Trimble Navigation—relates an experiment Trimble ...

The authors evaluate the effect of various mill types on particle-size distribution, flowability, tabletability, and compactibility. The particle-size distribution of a pharmaceutical granulation is ...

Using a novel automated microfilling system, the authors demonstrate that roller compaction followed by milling is a viable preprocessing technique for high-dose chemical-in-capsule dosage forms. The ...

Granulation processes are used for converting light fine powders into large, dense granules to make fast-dissolving drinks, optimized blends for compression tableting, and granules for waste water ...

A kit that retrofits static and vibratory steel rollers and challenges the long-standing method of relying on vibration to compact asphalt pavement is under development and is being tested in Canada.

“Even though the compaction of soil is a process [that] began hundreds, if not thousands, of years ago,” Luke Sevcik product application and training specialist for Wacker Neuson, guesstimates, “the ...

There are significant benefits to dry granulation, in terms of cost-reduction and processing, and it can be used with sensitive materials. However, there is little indication as to which process ...
