Compressors are essential tools in various industries, providing compressed air for a wide range of applications. There are several types of compressors available, including horizontal and vertical compressors. What is a Vertical Compressor ? A vertical compressor is a type of compressor where the cylinder or cylinders are oriented vertically. This design allows for a smaller footprint, making it an ideal choice for applications where space is limited. How does a vertical compressor work? The basic working principle of a vertical compressor is the same as that of any other type of positive displacement compressor. It works by trapping a fixed volume of air or gas and then compressing it to increase its pressure. In a reciprocating vertical compressor, for example, a piston moves up and down inside a cylinder, drawing in air or gas on the downstroke and compressing it on the upstroke. The compressed air or gas is then discharged from the cylinder at a higher pressure. The v...

  Wet granulation is a process of size enlargement in which fine powder particles are agglomerated or brought together into larger, stronger, and relatively permanent structures called granules using a suitable non-toxic granulating fluid. These could be water, isopropanol, ethanol, or a mixture of one or all of these elements, as required. This method is commonly used for compressed tablet production and involves an adhesive substance known as a binder. What is the Benefit of Wet Granulation? Converting powders or blends of powders into granules serves multiple benefits, and that’s why the process is so widely followed. These include enhancing the flow properties of the powder mix, preventing segregation of powder components during tabletting or storage, reducing dust production, reducing cross-contamination and hazards associated with toxic dust generation during manufacturing processes, improving the compression characteristics of drug substances, and improving the appearanc...
