Objectives of Pilot Plant Scale Up Techniques

  Plant : – It is a place where the 5 M’s like money, material; man, method and machine are brought together for the manufacturing of the products. Pilot Plant : – It is the part of the pharmaceutical industry where a lab scale formula is transformed into a viable product by development of liable and practical procedure of manufacture. Scale-up : – The art for designing of prototype using the data obtained from the pilot plant model. Definitions R & D Production Pilot Plant. Objectives of Pilot Plant “Find mistakes on small scale and make profit on large scale.” To produce physically and chemically stable therapeutic dosage forms. Review of the processing equipment. Guidelines for productions and process control. Evaluation and validation for process and equipment’s. To identify the critical features of the process. To provide master manufacturing formula. To try the process on a model of proposed plant before committing large sum of money on a production unit. Examination of the f

Drying Technologies for Mineral Raw Materials

  Drying may be an important aspect of mineral processing; throughout the journey from ore to end product, the flexibility to manage   moisture   content helps to reduce shipping prices, streamline downstream process, and manufacture a refined product. While mineral dryers could appear a similar as different industrial dryers, they’re usually designed to withstand additional rigorous demands compared to several different industries; because of the character of minerals, mineral dryers are subject to systematically harsh processing conditions, necessitating a dryer with heavy-duty components and materials of construction. The diverse nature of minerals and associated processing techniques will demand  drying  at any and all stages of mineral processing, from raw ore to concentrate, all the thanks to finished product. Minerals that usually need a drying step throughout processing include: Alumina Barite Basalt Bauxite Borax Chromite Clay Ferrous minerals Fluorite Graphite Gypsum Iron ore
