Calcium phosphate is a widely used pharmaceutical powder, commonly found in orthopaedic implants, supplements, and other medical and dental products that support bone health. However, due to its fine particle size, moisture sensitivity, and tendency to agglomerate, it poses significant challenges during the sieving process. These issues can lead to mesh blockages and inconsistent product quality.
Accurate particle sizing is critical in pharmaceutical applications to ensure uniformity, safety, and efficiency. Agglomeration during screening can compromise powder quality and cause production delays.
In a recent demonstration, the Finex® 22 sieve was used to screen calcium phosphate powder, equipped with the Russell Vibrasonic® Deblinding System. This advanced ultrasonic technology prevents agglomerated particles from blocking the mesh apertures, maintaining continuous and efficient screening.
Using a double-deck configuration, the Finex® 22 simultaneously sieved the powder through 25- and 45-micron meshes, effectively separating out oversized particles in a single operation and producing a high-quality, fine-grade powder ready for pharmaceutical use.
