, SIZE SEPARATION
Size separation is a unit operation that involves the separation of a mixture of various size
particles into two or more portions by means of screening surfaces. Size separation is also
known as sieving, sifting, screening. This technique is based on physical differences b/w
the particles such as size, shape and density.
, OBJECTIVES / APPLICATION OF SIZE
SEPERATION
▶ To determine particle size for the production of tablets and capsules.
▶ To improve mixing of powders.
▶ To improve the solubility and stability of particles during production.
▶ To optimize feed rate, agitation, screening during production.
▶ Quality control of raw materials.
▶ Useful in production of tablets, capsules, suspension, emulsion, ophthalmic
preparations, ointments, creams, etc
