POWDER MANUFACTURING

Blending and Mixing

Blending combines two or more materials to achieve a uniform distribution throughout the entire mixture. This step is essential for preparing materials for subsequent manufacturing stages, such as compaction granulation and tableting. If blending is not performed correctly, the resulting granulated products may not meet crucial performance standards related to how they dissolve, tablet hardness, and flowability.

Successfully mixing multiple products or powders demands specialized expertise. Kegel Contract Manufacturing has decades of focused powder production experience with unique talents in liquid loading. Combining liquids and powders can be a challenge for many manufacturing operations, but our experienced chemists possess the knowledge to effectively meet these demands.

Compaction Granulation

Compaction granulation, also known as agglomeration, transforms fine dry powders into larger, uniform particles best suited to the product’s end-use requirements. This essential manufacturing process addresses several common product challenges—improving flowability, reducing dust, controlling attrition, and facilitating easier transport.
