PET is highly hygroscopic and absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. Tiny amounts of moisture can hydrolyse PET within the melt part, reducing molecular weight. PET should be dry just prior to processing, and amorphous PET needs crystallization prior to drying so that the particles don’t stick together as they’re going through glass transition. Hydrolysis can …
Composting is the natural process of decomposition and recycling of organic material into a humus-rich soil amendment known as compost. Food waste is composed of organic matter which can be used for composting to make fertilizer. It is an effective and eco-friendly way of disposing of food waste in your kitchen. By using leftovers and …

Drying is an efficient technique for fruit storage/preservation. Drying may retain quality end product that is difficult, because all fruits are variable in structure, so, heat and mass transfer modeling (operating parameters) is a helpful technique to deal with it. This could only be done by selecting the proper sort of drying equipment and understanding …

Dry Heat Sterilization is a sterilization process that can be used to terminally sterilize health care products, medical devices, equipment, components or bulk active pharmaceutical ingredients by exposing the items to a temperature of ≥ 160°C for a defined time. For heat stable items, such as glassware or stainless steel equipment, a dry heat sterilization …
Natural sun drying is one of the most common ways to preserve agricultural product. the most purpose in drying farm manufacture is to reduce its water activity from the harvest level to the safe storage level in order to increase its shelf life. Once the product has been dried, its rate of deterioration because of …
The term “continuous” is applied to all production or manufacturing processes that run with a continuous flow. With that definition, continuous processing of solid dosage products in the pharmaceutical industry means starting the process from the synthesis of API to the final packaging of tablets or capsules 24/7 all year-round. The pharmaceutical industry has been …
