Prediction of segregation tendency occurrence in dry particulate pharmaceutical mixtures: Development of a mathematical tool adapted for granular systems application
Contributor(s):: Abatzoglou, N;, Simard, JS
Segregation phenomena are of importance in nearly all processes involving dry granular and powder mixtures. The extent of segregation directly influences the eventual rejection of a considerable percentage of the final product in the majority of pharmaceutical processes; among these are those...

Comparison between integrated continuous direct compression line and batch processing - The effect of raw material properties
Contributor(s):: Karttunen, AP, Wikstrom, HTajarobi, P, Fransson, M, Sparen, A, Marucci, M, Ketolainen, J, Folestad, S, Korhonen, O, Abrahmsen-Alami, S
There is a current trend in pharmaceutical manufacturing to shift from traditional batch manufacture to continuous manufacturing. The purpose of this study was to test the ability of an integrated continuous direct compression (CDC) line, in relation to batch processing, to achieve consistent...
