  1. Videometric mass flow control: A new method for real-time measurement and feedback control of powder micro-feeding based on image analysis

    09 Jun 2023 | Contributor(s):: Madarasz, L, Kote, AGyurkes, M, Farkas, A, Hambalko, B, Pataki, H, Fulop, G, Marosi, G, Lengyel, L, Casian, T, Csorba, K, Nagy, ZK

    The present paper reports the first monitoring and control of ultra-low dose powder feeding using a camera image-based mass flow measurement system. Caffeine was fed via a single-screw microfeeder as a model active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). The mass, mass flow and sizes of the particles...

  2. The scope of PAT in real-time advanced control of tablet quality

    09 Jun 2023 | Contributor(s):: Singh, Ravendra, Ierapetritou, Marianthi, Ramachandran, Rohit

    Continuous pharmaceutical manufacturing together with process analytical technology (PAT) provides a suitable platform for automatic feed-forward/feed-back (FF/FB) control of the end product quality as desired by quality by design (QbD)-based efficient manufacturing. The precise control of the...

  3. Real-time feedback control of twin-screw wet granulation based on image analysis

    09 Jun 2023 | Contributor(s):: Madarasz, Lajos, Hoffer, Istvan, Szabo, Barnabas, Csontos, Istvan, Pataki, Hajnalka, Demuth, Balazs, Szabo, Bence, Csorba, Kristof, Nagy, Zsombor Kristof, Marosi, Gyorgy

    The present paper reports the first dynamic image analysis-based feedback control of continuous twin-screw wet granulation process. Granulation of the blend of lactose and starch was selected as a model process. The size and size distribution of the obtained particles were successfully monitored...

  4. ON-OFF Feedback Control of Plug-Flow Crystallization: A Case of Quality-by-Control in Continuous Manufacturing

    09 Jun 2023 | Contributor(s):: Koswara, Andy, Nagy, Zoltan K.

    Plug-flow crystallization (PFC) is a promising candidate to realizing the paradigm shift from batch-to-continuous pharmaceutical manufacturing. While PFC has been recently touted as the ideal continuous crystallizer due to its compact design, proper mixing, and flexible cooling and antisolvent...

  5. In-line Raman spectroscopic monitoring and feedback control of a continuous twin-screw pharmaceutical powder blending and tableting process

    09 Jun 2023 | Contributor(s):: Nagy, Brigitta, Farkas, Attila, Gyurkes, Martin, Komaromy-Hiller, Szofia, Demuth, Balazs, Szabo, Bence, Nusser, David, Borbas, Eniko, Marosi, Gyorgy, Nagy, Zsombor Kristof

    The integration of Process Analytical Technology (PAT) initiative into the continuous production of pharmaceuticals is indispensable for reliable production. The present paper reports the implementation of in-line Raman spectroscopy in a continuous blending and tableting process of a...

  6. Implementing Feedback Granule Size Control in a Continuous DryGranulation Line Using Controlled Impeller Speed of the GranulationUnit, Compaction Force and Gap Width

    09 Jun 2023 | Contributor(s):: Wilms, Annika, Teske, Andreas, Meier, Robin, Wiedey, Raphael, Kleinebudde, Peter

    Purpose: In continuous manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, dry granulation is of interest because of its large throughput capacity and energy efficiency. In order to manufacture solid oral dosage forms continuously, valid control strategies for critical quality attributes should be established. To...

  7. Continuous blending monitored and feedback controlled by machine vision-based PAT tool

    09 Jun 2023 | Contributor(s):: Lászlo Galata, Dorián, Mészaros, Lilla, Ficzere Máté, Vass, Panna, Nagy, Brigitta, Szabó, Edina, Domokos, András, Farkas, Attila, Csontos, István, Marosi, György, Nagy, Zsombor Kristóf

    In a continuous powder blending process machine vision is utilized as a Process Analytical Technology (PAT) tool. While near-infrared (NIR) and Raman spectroscopy are reliable methods in this field, measurements become challenging when concentrations below 2 w/w% are quantified. However, an...

  8. Combined feedforward/feedback control of an integrated continuous granulation process
