Embodiment 1
[0038] Embodiment 1-ring layer mixer
[0039] Exemplary water-dispersible methylcellulose and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose according to the present invention were produced as follows. The starting material (virgin MC or HPMC) was continuously fed into a ring layer mixer (CORIMIX CM20) operating at a flow rate of approximately 3000 rpm. Alternatively, acceptable residence times can be achieved by adjusting the tip speed or Froude number. Spray water over the product in the mixer. Older systems use water injected through the jacket, while newer systems spray through a rapidly rotating hub. Sufficient water was added such that the wetted agglomerates leaving the mixer had a moisture content of approximately 25-30%. The agglomerates obtained are then dried in a fluidized bed dryer (Huettlin Mycrolab) at an air inlet temperature of 50-120°C, preferably 70°C, until the product reaches a temperature of about 52-53°C. A summary of the conditions is listed in Table 1.

Embodiment 2
[0042] Example 2 - Fluidized bed
[0043] Exemplary water-dispersible methylcellulose and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose according to an alternative process of the present invention are produced as follows. The starting materials are prepared in a batch process in a fluid bed processor. After conventional fluidization of the substance, water is sprayed on the fluidized substance from the top through nozzles. During spraying, the air inlet temperature was kept constant at about 50°C, while the product temperature was about 35°C. Water addition was stopped when the ratio of added water / (sum of added water and MC or HPMC) was 0.25 or 0.3.
[0044] The agglomerates obtained were then dried in a fluid bed dryer (Huettlin Mycrolab) at an air inlet temperature of 70°C until the product reached a temperature of approximately 52-54°C. A summary of the conditions is listed in Table 2.

Embodiment 3
[0048] Batches 1-10 were basically prepared according to the protocols of Examples 1 and 2, and the characterization results are listed in Table 3.

[0052] The difference in dispersibility is due to MC or HPMC viscosity (higher molecular weight tends to disperse slightly slower). Likewise, batches 2 and 7, and batches 5 and 10, represent grades that exhibit slower thermodynamic dispersion at 20°C.
[0053] Bulk density is determined by weighing a completely filled beaker of known volume. The values given are the average of three measurements. Therefore, the dust content is the fraction smaller than 63 μm after sieving the product.
[0054] The placement angle was determined using a Hosokawa Micron Powder Characteristics Tester (model PT-R, 1999, software version 1.02) with a vibration adjustment of ~2.5.
[0055] Powder flow rate is measured with the same instrument, using the same method and the same vibration adjustment, as the...
