  • Publication number: 20210267900
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pre-processing method for the purpose of formulating a drug substance having non-uniform particle sizes by a manufacturing method having excellent manufacture performance. According to the pre-processing method of the present invention, additives including at least a dispersant are blended in a drug substance having a specific particle size distribution and then the resultant mixture is deagglomerated/sized to disperse and make adhere the additives onto the surfaces of the particles of the drug substance, thereby yielding a powder having a specified particle size distribution. In this manner, a pharmaceutical preparation can be manufactured with excellent manufacture performance, manufacture efficiency, and manufacture cost by a direct compression method, a wet continuous granulation system or the like. Therefore, the pre-processing method is very useful.

  • Patent number: 7758826
    Abstract: Mounted on an upper surface of a container main body are a base of a water level indicator detecting a remaining amount of liquid reducing agent, a base of a densitometer detecting concentration of liquid reducing agent, a heat exchanger surrounding detectors of the water level indicator and the densitometer, and circulating engine coolant for heat exchange between liquid reducing agent and engine coolant, and a suction tube for sucking liquid reducing agent from a position adjacent to the bottom of container main body and between water level indicator and densitometer. A box-shaped protector surrounds the water level indicator, densitometer and suction tube which are located in a region adjacent to a lower portion of the heat exchanger. Heat from the heat exchanger is trapped in the protector to generate convection in that region, thereby unfreezing frozen liquid reducing agent around the water level indicator, densitometer and suction tube.

  • Publication number: 20090038296
    Abstract: In a liquid tank provided with a pressure relief vent hole, a shielding member surrounding the vent hole is disposed. The shielding member forms an isolated chamber communicated with the vent hole. In a portion located to the side of the vent hole, the shielding member allows communication between the isolated chamber and an inner space in the liquid tank excluding the isolated chamber. On the other hand, in a portion located below the vent hole, the shielding member blocks movement of the liquid between the isolated chamber and the inner space.
