Read the answer →What to include in a production review
A useful review needs the complete production result, not only a machine description. Include representative samples and the hardest normal operating case.
- Product name and representative sample
- Target and tolerance by weight
- Bulk density and normal variation
- Particle size and largest inclusion
- Dust, bridging, static and fragility behaviour
- Pack size range and required output
- Samples that represent pharmaceutical powders
- A short video of the present process and fault

What should I check first when working with pharmaceutical powders?
Define a measurable finished result, use representative samples and start with the first uncontrolled point in the powder and piece filling process.
What commonly causes production problems with pharmaceutical powders?
Common causes include variation in incoming product or packaging, unsuitable settings, unstable feeding, wear, contamination and a machine principle that does not suit a dry-product application where bulk density, flow behaviour, dust, fragility, segregation and replenishment affect accurate dosing for pharmaceutical powders. Dust containment, hopper flow and bulk-density variation are central to repeatability..
