Pharma Industry: Storing and Handling Powders and Bulk Materials
Kurs
This course aims to equip participants with the knowledge to address challenges in storing and handling bulk powders specific to pharmaceutical manufacturing and to provide insight into the critical role of material properties in maintaining product quality and ensuring process efficiency. This course will also highlight exploring compliance with industry standards, including cGMP and regulatory guidelines.
With an emphasis on practical aspects of technology, we’ll begin with a comprehensive introduction to give a basic understanding of the operation of hoppers and silos, before moving on to more detailed work.
We’ll use case studies throughout to illustrate the presentations, with plenty of discussion periods so that we can analyse any specific problems experienced by attendees.
We’ll cover the basics in operation, design and specification including an introduction to the storage and flow of bulk solid materials in hoppers, silos, bins and bunkers, feeders and feeding, hopper discharge aids and the prediction of discharge rates focussing on pharmaceutical materials (API, Excipients, Co-Excipients, Glidants, Flow Agents).
We will also look closely at ways to determine the correct design for reliable discharge, including determining flow properties of pharmaceutical materials, hopper geometry and practical design considerations.
