Pharmaceutical Technology Quiz 1

Which of the following type of sieve is used for coarse sizing?

• Woven wire sieves

• Bolting cloth sieves

• Bar screens

• Punched plates

A rotary motion produced by the sieve causes the particles to spin, allowing them to pass through the sieve.

Which of the following principle is relates to the theory above?

• Oscillation

• Vibration

• Gyration

• Brushing

Which of the following is NOT a type of dry separation?

• Cyclone separator

• Gyratory screens

• Shaking screen

• Double cone classifier

"The centrifugal force throws the particles to the wall of the vessel. As the speed of the fluid (air) diminishes, the particles fall to the base and collected at the solid outlet."
