The use of rheology to elucidate the granulation mechanisms of a miscible and immiscible system during continuous twin-screw melt granulation
| Contributor(s):: Monteyne, Tinne, Heeze, Liza, Mortier, Severine Therese F. C., Oldorp, Klaus, Nopens, Ingmar, Remon, Jean-Paul, Vervaet, Chris, De Beer, Thomas
Twin-screw hot melt granulation (TS HMG) is a valuable, but still unexplored alternative to granulate temperature and moisture sensitive drugs in a continuous way. Recently, the material behavior of an immiscible drug-binder blend during TS HMG was unraveled by using a rheometer and differential...

Monitoring blend potency in a tablet press feed frame using near infrared spectroscopy
| Contributor(s):: Ward, Howard, Blackwood, Daniel, Polizzi, Mark, Clarke, Hugh
A near-infrared (NIR) probe was installed into the feed frame of a rotary tablet press to monitor API concentration as a function of time. A series of step change experimental trials were completed, where a placebo blend was initially charged into the feed frame, and an active blend was layered...

Development of a tablet press feed frame lead lag determination model using in-line and off-line NIR measurements
| Contributor(s):: Van;Hauwermeiren, D, Peeters, MPeeters, E, Cogoni, G, Yang, LA, De;Beer, T
For continuous pharmaceutical manufacturing of oral solid dosages, it is essential that product quality is measured inline. In this application, a continuous rotary tablet press is used. The goal is a model-based assessment of the quality of the blend in the feed frame to determine whether the...
