Screen and Sift Your Excipient Powder with Hanningfield

Excipients powders are regularly used in oral solid dosage formulations such as tablets and capsules. These powders are the inactive ingredients in the drug formulation that serve various functions such as improving the stability and shelf-life of a drug, and aiding with the delivery of the active ingredient. Screening these powders is a crucial step in the pharmaceutical industry to help guarantee that excipients used in drug formulations meet certain quality standards.

Excipient powder screening ensures that powders used in drug formulations are of a consistent quality, helping to improve the safety of the drugs. Additionally the process can help reduce the risk of manufacturing errors and ensure that the drugs are produced in a cost-effective manner. 

The Hanningfield centrifugal powder sifter offers fast and effective powder screening, helping to guarantee material integrity by removing any over-sized contaminants such as packaging, wear residue from other machinery or unwanted particles which are natural to the excipient. The rotating mesh drum creates a centrifugal screening action, with powder passing through the mesh while retaining those particles or objects larger than the hole aperture. For achieving different grades of separation, various drum mesh sizes are available to meet different application requirements. 

The Kwik-Sift operates at a higher throughput than traditional sieving (up to x5 faster), thus offering you the perfect solution to accelerate your process. The Hanningfield Kwik-Sift can incorporate a single or dual spoiler arm arrangement for performing simple de-lumping of agglomerated material. The spoiler arm simply clamps onto the existing chute via a Tri-Clover.
