1. Improvement of a pharmaceutical powder mixing process in a tote blender via DEM simulations

   0.0 out of 5 stars 

   Peer-reviewed journal | 04 Jun 2024 | Contributor(s):: Benedict Benque, Luca Orefice, Thomas Forgber, Matthias Habeler, Beate Schmid, Johan Remmelgas, Johannes Khinast

   An industrial-scale pharmaceutical powder blending process was studied via discrete element method (DEM) simulations. A DEM model of two active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) components and a combined excipient component was calibrated by matching the simulated response in a dynamic angle of...

2. Using a material property library to find surrogate materials for pharmaceutical process development

   0.0 out of 5 stars 

   Peer-reviewed journal | 09 Jun 2023 | Contributor(s):: Escotet-Espinoza, MS, Moghtadernejad, SScicolone, J, Wang, YF, Pereira, G, Schafer, E, Vigh, T, Klingeleers, D, Ierapetritou, M, Muzzio, FJ

   Material properties are known to have a significant impact on pharmaceutical manufacturing performance, particularly for solid product processes. Evaluating the performance of a specific material, for example an active pharmaceutical ingredient or excipient, is critical during development stages...

3. Identifying a Loss-in-Weight Feeder Design Space Based on Performance and Material Properties

   0.0 out of 5 stars 

   Peer-reviewed journal | 09 Jun 2023 | Contributor(s):: Li, Tianyi, Scicolone, James V. Sanchez, Eric, Muzzio, Fernando J.

   Powder properties, such as density and adhesion, can cause large variability in the flow rate of ingredients fed from feeders, which can propagate through the system. Knowing an ideal range of operation and correlating powder properties to process performance can result in faster optimization of...
