30 March 2019 Tablets & Capsules T ablet dedusters are available in non-dust-tight, dust- tight, wash-in-place (sometimes called wet-in-place), and clean-in-place versions. Non-dust-tight dedusters are the most common type, but these aren't suitable for toxic or highly potent formulations because they can allow dust to escape during operation, especially when dust-collec- tion air volume is lacking. Non-dust-tight machines also require disassembly for cleaning, which exposes the oper- ator or cleaning personnel to airborne powders. This article describes the types of tablet dedusters available, explains what you should consider when selecting deduster for your tableting process, and compares the benefits of wash-in- place and clean-in-place dedusters. Factors to consider when purchasing a wash-in-place or clean-in-place tablet deduster Andre Petric Kraemer US dedusters
