Why Conveyor Belt Material Matters More Than You Think In almost every industrial processing facility, conveyor belts do more than just move material. They keep the entire operation flowing. Whether transferring crushed rock in a mining plant or handling fine pharmaceutical powders, the material used in your conveyor belt can affect product quality, equipment longevity,

Bioavailability is one of the most critical factors in pharmaceutical development. For active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), the ability to be absorbed effectively into the body can determine a drug’s success or failure. As more drug compounds present solubility challenges, pharmaceutical manufacturers are turning to micronization as a potential solution. Micronizers, particularly jet mills designed for

Calcium carbonate is one of the most widely used raw materials in modern industry. Valued for its chemical stability, low cost, and versatility, this naturally occurring compound plays a central role across a wide range of manufacturing processes. From construction to pharmaceuticals, plastics to agriculture, the application of calcium carbonate touches nearly every sector that

Flowable fill, also known as controlled low strength material (CLSM), is a self-compacting, cementitious material used primarily as a backfill or void-fill alternative to traditional compacted soil. It is designed to be placed without mechanical compaction, making it ideal for hard-to-reach areas or time-sensitive construction projects. Once set, it forms a stable, low-strength mass that

In the aquaculture industry, feed accounts for a significant portion of production costs, typically ranging from 40-50%. Given that fish have protein requirements varying from 18-50%, the role of protein in their feed is crucial. These protein needs differ by species; for example, tilapia, one of the most commonly farmed fish, requires 32-38% protein in
