Efficient sieving and screening of talc powder

Talc is a naturally occurring mineral used across industries in powder form. In pharmaceuticals, it is used as an excipient, due to its excellent flow properties, lubrication, and moisture resistance feature.

Pharmaceutical-grade talc must be free from contaminants like asbestos and heavy metals, meeting strict purity standards. Maintaining precise particle size is also critical, as improper granule size can affect drug flow, tablet integrity, and dissolution rates. Additionally, its tendency to agglomerate can also cause processing inefficiencies, affecting formulation quality.

Our Russell Compact Sieve® efficiently screens talc, removing contaminants and ensures uniform particle distribution. Its high-capacity, dust-tight design helps pharmaceutical manufacturers improve efficiency while meeting strict industry standards.
