Everything You Need to Know About Tablet Handling and Powder Handling Powder handling and tablet handling systems are essential in several industries, from infant nutrition to animal nutrition, pharmaceutical, chemical, battery, sports, nutrition, beverages & mixes, flavourings, nutraceuticals, and baking. On the face of it, tablets seem to be simple products. However, once you research a little about how they are made, you will realise that tablets are delicate and must be carefully handled to avoid damage, contamination, and breakage. When it comes to tablet handling , measures such as specially designed conveyor belts to minimise mechanical stress and vibration and effective dust extraction systems to avoid contamination are a must. Powder handling, on the other hand, also comes with its own set of challenges. During handling, powders with different particle sizes can separate, leading to inconsistent formulations. Powders can also absorb moisture and create clumps, which ca...

An Introduction to Polymer Nano Particles Polymer nano particles are tiny structures between the size of 1 and 1000 nanometers which are made of polymers - such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) or polylactide-co-glycolide (PLGA) - and feature unique properties that have made them indispensable in applications across various industries including medicine, electronics, agriculture and environmental science. In medicine, polymer nano particles are used to make drugs that target specific parts of the body, and vaccinations. In electronics, they are used to make screens, laptops, and smartphones. Polymer nano particles also play a vital role in the manufacturing of implants, tissue engineering scaffolds, and drug delivery. Polymer nano particles have gained prominence because of their small size and high surface-area-to-volume ratio, which offer distinct physical, chemical, and biological properties to particles. As a result, manufacturers in industries such as medicine, agriculture and elec...

  What Industries Use EODD Pumps Most Frequently? Efficient fluid transfer is an essential requirement of several old and modern industries around the world. Electric-operated double Diaphragm (EODD) pumps stand out for their: ·        Versatility ·        Energy efficiency ·        Ability to handle a wide range of fluids, including: o    Corrosive o    Solid-laden o    Viscous EODD pumps operate using an electric motor to move fluids. The pump has two diaphragms that move back and forth. This creates pressure that enables the transfer of fluids. EODD pumps are popular in many industries, including: ·        Water and wastewater treatment ·        Chemical ·        Mining ·        Oil refineries ·        Paint · ...
