Popis: Continuous manufacturing techniques are increasingly being adopted in the pharmaceutical industry and powder blending is a key operation for solid-dosage tablets. A modeling methodology involving axial and radial tanks-in-series flowsheet models is developed to describe the residence time distribution (RTD) and blend uniformity of a commercial powder blending system. Process data for a six-component formulation processed in a continuous direct compression line (GEA Pharma Systems) is used to test the methodology. Impulse tests were used to generate experimental RTDs which are used along with parameter estimation to determine the number of axial tanks in the flowsheet. The weighted residual from the parameter estimation was less than the χ
