Orthogonal Redundant Monitoring of a New Continuous Fluid-Bed Dryer for Pharmaceutical Processing by Means of Mass and Energy Balance Calculations and Spectroscopic Techniques
Contributor(s):: Pauli, Victoria, Elbaz, Frantz, Kleinebudde, Peter, Krumme, Markus
In line with the ongoing shift from batch to continuous pharmaceutical production of solid oral dosage forms, a novel continuous fluid-bed dryer was developed. The forced feed nature of the Glatt GPCG2 CM fluid-bed dryer allows continuous, first-in-first-out drying of wet granulate materials...

Methodology for a Variable Rate Control Strategy Development in Continuous Manufacturing Applied to Twin-screw Wet-Granulation and Continuous Fluid-bed Drying
Contributor(s):: Pauli, Victoria, Elbaz, Frantz, Kleinebudde, Peter, Krumme, Markus
Purpose: Continuous manufacturing (CM) promises unrestricted scale up of production volume through runtime, together with lower product quality variability through stricter process control. However, unforeseen incidents that disrupt the process’ steady state or even force temporary shutdown of...

Continuous twin screw granulation and fluid bed drying: A mechanistic scaling approach focusing optimal tablet properties
Contributor(s):: Menth, Judith, Maus, Martin, Wagner, Karl G.
This study provides the results of investigation on scaling approaches for three differently-sized continuous granulation lines, each consisting of a twin screw wet granulation process and a continuous fluid bed drying process. To check the initial scaling approach with regard to granule and...
