Powder flow properties play a crucial role in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. Free-flowing or cohesive powders can lead to various challenges like uneven flow, caking during storage, and issues in dosing uniformity. Testing methods such as Carr's compressibility index and Hausner ratio help

Wet granulation method in industrial pharmacy involves weighing and mixing ingredients, preparing a damp mass, converting it into wet granules, drying, dry screening, and mixing with lubricants. This method improves flowability, cohesiveness, and compressibility of powders, making them easily compre

Powders for tablet compression must have good flowability and compressibility properties. Techniques like slugging and dry compaction are used in the production of tablets by compacting powders into granules. Dry granulation may lead to fines or non-compacted products, requiring cohesive properties.

Tablet production techniques such as direct compression and granulation are essential steps involving powder milling, mixing, and tabletting. The use of crystalline structures and disintegrants impact the compressibility and flowability of tablets. Not all materials are suitable for direct compressi
