   The pharmaceutical industry is gradually changing batch-wise manufacturing processes to continuous manufacturing processes, due to the advantages it has to offer. The final product quality and process efficiency of continuous manufacturing processes is among others impacted by the properties of...

   The current paper shows how excipient properties impact the process parameters and the final tablet properties in a fully integrated continuous direct compression line. Blend properties of low-dose (1% w/w) and high-dose (40% w/w) paracetamol formulations were evaluated...

3. Rheological characterization of microcrystalline cellulose and silicified microcrystalline cellulose wet masses using a mixer torque rheometer

   The rheological properties of silicified microcrystalline cellulose (Prosolv 50) were compared with those of standard grades of microcrystalline cellulose (Emcocel 50 and Avicel PH 101). Cellulose samples were analyzed using nitrogen adsorption together with particle size, flowability, density...

4. Influence of filler selection on twin screw foam granulation

   out of 5 stars 

   | Contributor(s):: Rocca, K. E., Weatherley, S., Sheskey, P. J., Thompson, M. R.

   The influence of filler selection in wet granulation was studied for the novel case where the binder is delivered as an unstable, semi-rigid aqueous foam to an extrusion process. The work primarily examined the impact of differing concentrations of microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel PH (R) 101)...

5. Impact of excipients on batch and continuous powder blending

   | Contributor(s):: Jaspers, M, de, Wit, MTWKulkarni, SS, Meir, B, Janssen, PHM, van, Haandel, MMW, Dickhoff, BHJ

   Stimulated by Pharma 4.0, the pharmaceutical industry is changing from batch-wise to continuous manufacturing. Therefore, individual processing steps such as blending of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) with excipients have to be re-designed to continuous operations. In this study,...

6. Faster to First-time-in-Human: Prediction of the liquid solid ratio for continuous wet granulation

   out of 5 stars 

   | Contributor(s):: Junnila, A, Wikstrom, HMegarry, A, Gholami, A, Papathanasiou, F, Blomberg, A, Ketolainen, J, Tajarobi, P

   In early development, when active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is in short supply, it would be beneficial to reduce the number of experiments by predicting a suitable L/S ratio before starting the product development. The aim of the study was to decrease development time and the amount of API...
