Definitions

  • This invention relates to the packaging of bulk quantities of powdered, crystalline or granular organic and inorganic compounds which cake, and in particular a packaging system and method which substantially reduces or eliminates caking of the compounds to maintain the compounds in a substantially free flowing or scoopable state for an extended period of time.
  • powdered or crystalline compounds such as NaCl, KI, KNOIT or other organic or inorganic cakable compounds
  • the compound was normally placed inside a fiberboard drum having a polyethylene liner. The drum was then covered with a fiberboard lid. The compound, when so packaged, invariably cakes, even if measures are taken to prevent or retard caking.
  • the compound can cake so severely that it becomes rock solid and must be beaten or crushed before it can be used. This has been especially true of certain salts and other organic and inorganic compounds. Companies spend hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to beat or crush caked compounds so packaged, so that the compounds can be made flowable, or at least scoopable. This severe caking occurs even though desiccant is placed in the drum. Crushing of caked compounds must, of course, be carried out under controlled circumstances. Procedures must be followed to prevent cross-contamination of compounds and to prevent other impurities from contaminating the compound. This is especially true of drug grade chemicals, the handling of which is governed by the USP. For USP listed chemicals, the chemicals must be processed in accordance with the cGMP (current good manufacturing procedures).
  • the caking of chemical compounds has long plagued the industry. Many attempts have been made to alleviate the problem. However, no one has found an acceptable solution. For example in some applications, the compound is heated to 400-500°C. to dry the compound thoroughly before packaging. However, when the moisture leaves the compound in the course of this prior method, it may alter the physical shape and size of the compound in a detrimental manner.
  • Another method includes adding anti-caking agents to the compound to be protected. These anti-caking agents coat the particles of the compound to protect them from moisture. However, a specific anti-caking agent may not be acceptable for a wide variety of compounds. The anti-caking agent therefore must be carefully chosen. Further, the use of anti-caking agents is not acceptable in many circumstances.
  • anti-caking agents cannot have anti-caking agents mixed with them.
  • the anti-caking agents can detrimentally alter the efficacy of the resulting medicine, or the process for producing the medicine.
  • the use of anti-caking agents is also costly.
  • the anti-caking agent cannot simply be added to the compound to be protected. It must be fully blended into the compound to be protected.
  • current research in the prevention or reduction of caking appears to be directed to the development of further anti-caking agents.
  • the current invention provides an inexpensive and practical solution which substantially reduces or prevents the caking of even KI and 2 ⁇ NaCl and maintains the compounds in a substantially free flowing or scoopable state without adding any anti-caking agents to the compound to be protected.
  • One object is to provide a packaging system and method for packaging bulk quantities of powdered, crystalline, or granular organic and inorganic cakable compounds and mixtures thereof which will substantially retard or eliminate the caking of the compounds.
  • Another object is to provide such a packaging system and method which will maintain the chemical compounds in a substantially free flowing or scoopable state.
  • Yet another object is to provide such a packaging system and method which eliminates or reduces the need to use anti-caking agents.
  • a further object is to provide such a packaging system and method which will retard caking in a wide variety of compounds.
  • An additional object is to provide such a packaging system and method which is not complex and which is inexpensive to implement.
  • the packaging system comprises a moisture impermeable container having a moisture impermeable cover which closes the container to define an enclosure in which the compound is placed, and a desiccant.
  • Means such as a gasket, can be positioned between the container and cover to create a moisture tight seal therebetween.
  • the compound can be placed directly in the container or it can be placed in a moisture permeable bag.
  • the bag if used, preferably is sealed after the compound has been placed therein.
  • the container is filled with the compound so that there will be a void space in the enclosure.
  • the desiccant is placed in the void space.
  • the drum is preferably a fiber board drum lined with a moisture impermeable substance, such as aluminum, plastic, etc.
  • the cover is preferably a plastic cover.
  • Any desiccant may be used. It can be, for example, a silicon based desiccant, such as a desiccant which comprises about 70% silicon oxide, about 20% aluminum oxide, about 5% magnesium oxide, about 3% calcium oxide, and about 2% ferric oxide.
  • One commonly available desiccant has a particle size of which 99% by weight passes 10 mesh and 4% passes 80 mesh and has an apparent bulk density of 60 lbs./ft 3 (0.96 gm/cc).
  • the permeable bag may be a crepe paper bag, such as a bag made of 50# kraft paper (ArkelTM paper), or it may be a permeable polypropylene bag, such as a bag made from a woven polypropylene.

  • Thirty-three grams (33 gm) of the Desiccite 25TM is equivalent to one unit of desiccant.
  • the amount of desiccant needed in each package depends on the amount of moisture that will be trapped in the drum when the drum is sealed. I have found that two bags (eighteen units) of the desiccant in the drum works well for up to at least 100 lbs of compound with less than 0.1 % moisture.
  • the desiccant was added at a ratio of 0.16 to 1.6 units of desiccant per pound of compound. Less desiccant may also have worked equally as well.
  • the exact amount (i.e., weight) of desiccant needed to extract the moisture from the compound depends, among other factors, the actual amount of free moisture in the compound, the humidity of the air in the drum, the efficacy of the drum desiccant, etc.
  • the eighteen units of desiccant used is believed to be in excess of the amount actually needed for 100 pounds at 0.1 % moisture. However, the use of an excess amount of desiccant is preferred to ensure that the moisture which would otherwise lead to caking of the compound will be absorbed or adsorbed by the desiccant.

  • the drum contents were checked on the noted dates to determine the condition of the powder contained therein.
  • the compounds were evaluated according to the following schedule:
  • any compound which rates a 5 or less is acceptable. If the compound rates a 7 or greater, the compound must then be processed to make it at least scoopable. Whether or not a compound cakes to a rating of 6 is acceptable or needs further processing depends upon the amount of crusting and its scoopability.

  • Example 21 The potassium nitrate (KN0 3 ) tests (Examples 21 and 22C) were both performed with the compound in Arkel paper (i.e., moisture permeable) bags. The only difference between the two was that in Example 21 , the fiber drum was lined with aluminum to make the receptacle moisture impermeable.
  • the bismuth nitrate pentahydrate (Bi(N0 3 ) 3 '5H 2 0) test Example 29

  • Example 30 The series of tests on the guanidine hydrochloride (Examples 30-35 C) indicated that the liner or bag in which the compound is placed is important. In the tests in which the guanidine hydrochloride was placed in polyethylene liners (i.e. essentially water impermeable liners) the product caked, even though desiccant was placed in the receptacle with the bag of product. The tests also show that receptacles made of materials other than aluminum lined drums will work well. In Example 30, a polyethylene receptacle was used without a lining 16. The receptacle used was one available from The United States Can Company (formerly The Sherwin-Williams Company) of Cleveland Ohio under the name POLY-PAIL ® . Polyethylene is known to be moisture impermeable and thus the lining 16 was not needed.
