As well as pharmaceuticals, we can use our experience to assist other high value industries with compression processes. In this case study, we hosted a PhD student who was developing a catalyst.
Compaction Science
Our specialist equipment, and the latest scientific techniques, help companies investigate the compressibility of powders.
The PhD student was sponsored by a global company and we were thrilled to offer our expertise. They needed compaction simulation assistence to quantify the compaction properties of their material to better understand compression in the green state.
Flexibility
The powder needed to be in the form of compacts and the material had challenging compression properties. We carried out a personalised programme of testing to help compact the investigational powder to their specification. The customer required a small number of compacts with desired properties for further analytical measurements at their own facility. The compaction study was conducted at different speeds and compression profiles, with and without lubrication, to find a process capable of making acceptable compacts, so they could be taken away for further evaluation.
The project was completed on the hydraulic compaction simulator and was delivered under the supervision of the company, following a brief for a speedy turnaround time.
