5 Benefits of Using High-Pressure Homogeniser for Mixing Before we talk about the benefits of using a high-pressure homogeniser for mixing, let's understand its definition first. What is a homogeniser? Where is it used? Well, a high-pressure homogeniser is basically an advanced mixing device designed to create uniform and stable emulsions, suspensions, and dispersions.  These homogenised particles are used in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, food production, and chemical processing. The homogeniser forces fluids through a narrow orifice at very high pressures (between 100 to 300 MPa or megapascals). The intense pressure creates extreme turbulence, which helps break down particles or droplets into nanometer or micrometre sizes. Critical features of high-pressure homogenisers include their ability to offer consistent particle size reduction, which, for example, improve bioavailability in pharmaceutical applications. High-pressure homogenisers are also known for their...

Matcon NPD 200L IBC: A Comprehensive Guide Pharmaceutical and medical manufacturers and distributors face relentless pressure to up their production and delivery while maintaining and enhancing operational efficiency at the same time. To add to this pressure, they are also required to adhere to stringent quality and safety standards. These companies need to audit every aspect of their operations to avoid being fined or losing their licenses. For example, pharma companies need to keep a track of the usable life and date of tablets. Tablets must be stocked, picked and shipped in a manner that complies with regulations while still adhering to the demands of pharmaceutical customers. To ease their operations, they incorporate new technologies. They are even turning to automated warehouse systems that offer real-time data on quality, inventory management, and other critical areas, helping to improve efficiency, ensure safety, and reduce costs. Matcon’s gentle Tablet Handling system Matc...

Everything You Need to Know About S20 Flair & Quadro Comil High Efficiency Milling (HEM) is a modern machining strategy designed to maximise material removal rates (MRR) while minimising tool wear and heat generation. HEM involves using a lower Radial Depth of Cut (RDOC) and a higher Axial Depth of Cut (ADOC). This approach spreads wear evenly across the cutting edge, dissipates heat more effectively, and reduces the likelihood of tool failure. The technique offers several benefits such as: Increased tool life due to even wear distribution Higher material removal rates due to aggressive cutting Reduced heat generation due to lower RDOC and higher ADOC Cost efficiency due to longer tool life Faster machining times HEM is particularly useful in industries where efficiency and precision are critical, such as aerospace, automotive, and mold making. It is suitable for a wide range of materials, including aluminium, steel, and titanium. High Efficiency Milling vs. Traditional Milling...

A Beginner's Guide to Understanding Roll Compactors and Their Benefits Pharmaceutical, chemical, and food production industries always have the requirement of precise particle control to ensure product quality and process efficiency. And roll compactors simply fit the bill. They are designed to transform raw materials into fine powders by compressing them into solid, compact shapes between two rotating rolls. The efficiency of this process improves particle consistency and increases bulk density. Not only that, roll compactors are environmentally friendly, too; they help to reduce energy consumption and minimise waste. According to experts, roller compaction is so far the main and best technique used in dry granulation applications. Roll compactors are popular among various industries for several reasons, including the following: Advantages of a Roll Compactor Enhanced Material Handling : Roll compaction allows for the conversion of loose powders into denser, free-flowing g...
