1. MIXING Prepared by: Ajay Singh Chawda Source:

2. Objectives • To understand the applications of mixing • To study the mechanism of mixing • To learn about different types of mixing equipment

3. Applications of Mixing • Ensures uniform distribution of all components • Improves drug uniformity and product quality • Used in the preparation of tablets, capsules, and suspensions • Essential for homogeneity in pharmaceutical formulations

4. Factors Affecting Mixing • Physical properties of materials (particle size, shape, density) • Type of mixer used • Mixing time and speed • Moisture content and temperature

5. Mechanism of Mixing • Convective Mixing – Bulk movement of material • Shear Mixing – Breakdown of aggregates by shear forces • Diffusive Mixing – Random motion of particles leading to intermingling

6. Mixing Equipment • Solid-Solid Mixers: - Double Cone Blender - V-Blender - Ribbon Blender • Solid-Liquid Mixers: - Planetary Mixer - Sigma Blade Mixer - Propeller Mixer • Liquid-Liquid Mixers: - Impeller Mixer - Turbine Mixer - Paddle Mixer

7. Summary • Mixing is a vital process in pharmaceutical manufacturing. • It ensures uniformity and product quality. • Choice of mixer depends on material properties and application. • Understanding mechanism helps optimize process efficiency.
