Sieve analysis is one of the oldest techniques for evaluating granule size and even today is employed widely in quality control across variety of industries including pharmaceutics, despite being gradually replaced by more modern methods such as laser diffraction. Reliance on sieving as the primary method for process control often results in a heavy workload for plant operators, poor precision and significant time lags between sampling and analysis.This presentation will discuss the use of in-line particle size analyzers as an alternative to manual sampling and as means of improving process understanding and control, and product quality.
