Custom Powder Systems LLC

If your blend tests fine in the blender but fails at discharge… You don’t have a blending problem. You’ve got a material handling problem. Most “mystery variability” occurs during discharge, transfers, and drops. Fix the flow first.

Do you have a material handling problem? We are here to help.

Every piece of equipment that leaves our Springfield, MO facility is built by a team of skilled engineers and fabricators who take immense pride in their craft.

From initial design sketches to final quality inspection.

The Art of Engineering isn't just our podcast name. It's how we approach every project.

Compacted or hardened powders can bring a production line to a grinding halt.

Our Drum Conditioners are engineered to safely and efficiently break up hardened materials within the drum — restoring them to a flowable state without exposing operators to dust or hazardous particles.

One chemical manufacturer reduced their material prep time by 60% using our custom drum conditioning solution. The result? Less downtime, better throughput, and safer operations.

Volatility is structural now. The last few years have taught manufacturers that supply chain resilience is no longer optional — it's a requirement for survival.

By partnering with domestic equipment manufacturers like Custom Powder Systems, you reduce your exposure to:
• Global shipping delays
• International trade disputes
• Extended lead times on replacement parts

We'd love to hear your approach.

High-potency manufacturing has changed the rules. Containment is no longer a downstream consideration — it's a system-level responsibility that must be designed in from day one.

As more pharmaceutical companies develop high-potency APIs (HPAPIs), the demand for sophisticated containment solutions is growing rapidly.

At CPS, we've been engineering containment solutions for high-potency environments for years. Here's what we've learned:

1. Start with an OEL assessment before selecting any equipment
2. Design for cleaning as rigorously as you design for containment
3. Validate your containment strategy with real-world testing

What's your organization's approach to HPAPI containment?

Custom Powder Systems is heading to the ISPE-Midwest Tech Ed Symposium & Vendor Showcase at the Overland Park Convention Center.

Austin Hill from Custom Powder Systems and David Clarahan from the University of Iowa Pharmaceuticals will be taking part in a panel discussion on Antibody‑Drug Conjugates and the Next Wave of Complex Modalities on Tuesday, May 19, at 2:30 p.m.

If you are attending the show or the panel discussion, we would be glad to connect. Stop by Table #13 to say hello, and let’s talk about what you are building next.
