Sieving excipient powder - Lactose monohydrate

Lactose monohydrate is a type of natural sugar found in milk. It is a common ingredient used as a filler in tablets, capsules, and inhalers. The lactose can be dispersed dry or in a suitable liquid e.g. iso-octane or saturated iso-propanol.

We understand that particle size distribution is crucial for manufacturers as it affects how well the ingredient flow, mix, and dissolve in medicines. For example, tablets and capsules need larger particles for easy flow, while Inhalers require very fine particles to ensure the medicine reaches the lungs properly.

Our high-capacity vibratory sieve ensures that manufacturers achieve the desired product grading, making sure the medicine works as expected.
