1. Wet Granulation in a Twin-Screw Extruder: Implications of Screw Design

   out of 5 stars 

   Contributor(s):: Thompson, M. R., Sun, J.

   Wet granulation in twin-screw extrusion machinery is an attractive technology for the continuous processing of pharmaceuticals. The performance of this machinery is integrally tied to its screw design yet little fundamental knowledge exists in this emerging field for granulation to intelligently...

2. Transfer from High-Shear Batch to Continuous Twin Screw Wet Granulation: A Case Study in Understanding the Relationship Between Process Parameters and Product Quality Attributes

   out of 5 stars 

   Contributor(s):: Beer, Paul, Wilson, David, Huang, Zhenyu, De Matas, Marcel

   A twin screw to high-shear batch granulation technology switch was evaluated for a pharmaceutical development project. Differences in granule (particle size distribution and porosity) and tablet (dissolution) quality attributes were analysed for both continuous and batch technologies. Liquid to...

3. Future Supply Chains Enabled by Continuous Processing - Opportunities and Challenges

   out of 5 stars 

   Contributor(s):: Jagjit Singh Srai, Markus Krumme, Mauricio Futran, Clive Badman, Craig Johnston

   This paper examines the opportunities and challenges facing the pharmaceutical industry in moving to a primarily “continuous processing”-based supply chain. The current predominantly “large batch” and centralized manufacturing system designed for the “blockbuster” drug has driven a slow-paced,...

4. Continuous Processing of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Suspensions via Dynamic Cross-Flow Filtration

   Contributor(s):: Gursch, J, Hohl, RToschkoff, G, Dujmovic, D, Brozio, J, Krumme, M, Rasenack, N, Khinast, J

   Over the last years, continuous manufacturing has created significant interest in the pharmaceutical industry. Continuous filtration at low flow rates and high solid loadings poses, however, a significant challenge. A commercially available, continuously operating, dynamic cross-flow filtration...

5. Application of X-Ray Sensors for In-line and Noninvasive Monitoring of Mass Flow Rate in Continuous Tablet Manufacturing

   Contributor(s):: Ganesh, Sudarshan, Troscinski, Rachel, Schmall, Nicholas, Nagy, Zoltan, Reklaitis, Gintaras

   The progress in continuous downstream manufacturing of oral solid doses demands effective real-time process management, with monitoring at its core. This study evaluates the feasibility of using a commercial sensor to measure the mass flow rate of the particulates, a critical process variable in...

6. A review of PAT strategies in secondary solid oral dosage manufacturing of small molecules

   Contributor(s):: Laske, Stephan, Paudel, Amrit, Scheibelhofer, Otto, Sacher, Stephan, Hoermann, Theresa, Khinast, Johannes, Kelly, Adrian, Rantannen, Jukka, Korhonen, Ossi, Stauffer, Fanny, De Leersnyder, Fien, De Beer, Thomas, Mantanus, Jerome, Chavez, Pierre-Francois, Thoorens, Benjamin, Ghiotti, Patrizia, Schubert, Martin, Tajarobi, Pirjo, Haeffler, Gunnar, Lakio, Satu, Fransson, Magnus, Sparen, Anders, Abrahmsen-Alami, Susanna, Folestad, Staffan, Funke, Adrian, Backx, Ivo, Kavsek, Barbara, Kjell, Francois, Michaelis, Marc, Page, Trevor, Palmer, John, Schaepman, Alexander, Sekulic, Sonja, Hammond, Steve, Braun, Birgit, Colegrove, Brenda

   Pharmaceutical solid oral dosage product manufacturing is a well-established, yet revolutionizing area. To this end, process analytical technology (PAT) involves interdisciplinary and multivariate (chemical, physical, microbiological and mathematical) methods for material (e.g. materials,...
