Skanska is piloting a Wirtgen Group electric compaction roller, one of just five pre-production models in North America. The global construction giant is piloting the electric compaction roller on the ...

Crewmember safety is the highest priority in road construction. However, traditional compaction machines are about as rigid as it gets. Every degree of slope is felt by operators as they sweat through ...

Although the intelligent-compaction (IC) concept as applied to asphalt rollers has its critics, Bomag has a number of its BW190AD-4 HF models operating in North America with the company's Asphalt ...

A kit that retrofits static and vibratory steel rollers and challenges the long-standing method of relying on vibration to compact asphalt pavement is under development and is being tested in Canada.

“Even though the compaction of soil is a process [that] began hundreds, if not thousands, of years ago,” Luke Sevcik product application and training specialist for Wacker Neuson, guesstimates, “the ...

Several challenges may be presented when processing powder blends: the blend may be prone to segregation, the creation of agglomerates may influence homogeneity, or component powders may poorly flow ...

When developing a tablet or capsule formulation, three widely used technologies are often considered to produce solid dosage forms: direct compression, wet granulation and dry granulation (including ...

Using a novel automated microfilling system, the authors demonstrate that roller compaction followed by milling is a viable preprocessing technique for high-dose chemical-in-capsule dosage forms. The ...

There are significant benefits to dry granulation, in terms of cost-reduction and processing, and it can be used with sensitive materials. However, there is little indication as to which process ...
