Milling

Milling is a particle size reduction process.Particle size reduction is used to increase surface area, product uniformity and improve formulation dissolution properties. It is also used to maintain a consistent average particle size distribution (PSD) for the formulation, thus allowing for a better quality mixtures. Impact milling can be used to generate particle sizes ranging from 850 microns to 90 microns.

Extrusion

The main objective of the extrusion spheronization is to produce pellets/spheroids of uniform size with high drug loading capacity. Extrusion spheronization is a multiple process of wet mass extrusion followed by spheronization to produce uniform size spherical particles, called as spheroids, pellets, beads or matrix pellets.

Granulation

Granulation is an agglomeration process or a particle size enlargement process. Granulation of powders is widely used to improve physical properties like: wettability, flowability, bulk density and product appearance. Granules typically have a size range between 200 microns to 4.0 mm depending on their subsequent use.

Sifting

Sifting is mainly used in two areas, Check screening of raw material to remove extraneous material and Sizing to sort, segregate or control the particle size distribution of powders and granules. Sifting is mainly achieved by used of vibratory , rotary & centrifugal screeners.

Drying

Drying is a process of removal of water or another solvent by evaporation from a solid, semi-solid mixture. A fluidized bed is a bed of solid particles with a stream of air or gas passing upward through the particles at a rate great enough to set them in motion.

FILTRATION

Filtration is used to separate particles and fluid in a suspension, where the fluid can be a liquid or a gas. Depending on the application, either one or both of the components may be isolated.
