In tabletting processes, production rate limitations can develop when feeding fine powders (median particle diameter less than 100 microns), regardless whether it’s a direct-compression blend or a granulation.  Similar rate limitations can develop when feeding into capsule filling equipment, granulators, or mills.  This article focuses on diagnosing and rectifying feed rate limitations in tablet presses.
