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

Continuous twin screw granulation: Impact of binder addition method and surfactants on granulation of a high-dosed, poorly soluble API
Contributor(s):: Portier, Christoph, Vigh, Tamas, Di Pretoro, Giustino, De Beer, Thomas, Vervaet, Chris, Vanhoorne, Valerie
Despite the recent commercialization of several drug products manufactured through continuous manufacturing techniques, knowledge on the formulation aspect of these techniques, such as twin screw wet granulation, is still rather limited. Previous Research Article identified lactose/MCC/HPMC as a...

Artificial Intelligence Tools for Scaling Up of High Shear Wet Granulation Process
Contributor(s):: Landin, Mariana
The results presented in this article demonstrate the potential of artificial intelligence tools for predicting the endpoint of the granulation process in high-speed mixer granulators of different scales from 25L to 600L. The combination of neurofuzzy logic and gene expression programing...
