    Nano Spray Drying: Producing Submicron Powders for Biotech and Pharma

    Nano spray drying creates submicron powders from fragile materials with high recovery and precise process control. Table of contents In pharma and biotech, smaller often means better. Submicron particles improve solubility, stability, and delivery options. However, making them isn’t straightforward. Many systems overheat the material [...]

  • AI-based in-line particle size monitoring system with stainless steel probe analyzing powder flow in a continuous milling line.

    AI-Powered Particle Size Monitoring in Continuous Milling

    AI-based in-line particle size monitoring allows real-time tracking during milling. It improves process control, reduces waste, and eliminates the need for manual sampling. Real-Time Control, No Sampling Needed In milling, size matters. However, traditional methods rely on offline analysis. That causes delays and limits control. By contrast, [...]

    Powders Under Pressure: Why Deformation Behavior Matters

    powder deformation behavior under pressure in different ways. Understanding their behavior improves compaction, reduces failure, and sharpens control. InthisinsightoftheweekwewilllookPowders do not just compress. They shift. They adapt. That shift is not always reversible. Some powders return to their original form once the force is removed. Others do not. Most [...]

  • Photorealistic powder bed visualizing quantum thinking in powder technology through mixed flow and cohesive behaviors.

    Quantum Thinking in Powder Technology: Embracing Uncertainty for Better Process Design

    Quantum thinking in powder technology isn’t about physics. It’s a mindset shift. Stop expecting powders to behave. Start designing for what they actually do: change, vary, and surprise. Tabe of Contents Powders are messy. They cake, segregate, and shift. One day they flow, the next [...]

    Modern Spray Drying: Methods and Limitations

    Spray drying technology transforms liquids into powders with high precision and control. Emerging methods like pulse combustion, electrostatic, and nano spray drying improve energy efficiency and product performance, but most remain limited by scale. Despite this, spray drying remains essential in pharmaceuticals, food, and energy industries due to its versatility, stability, and ability [...]
