A presentation at the Leistritz Pharmaceutical-Nutraceutical Extrusion Seminar explained how simulation tools benefit the development process. Twin-screw extruders (TSE) are used in multiple ...

Aluminum is particularly well suited to the extrusion process due to its excellent plasticity at extrusion temperature. Only a minor degree of work-hardening takes place at this temperature and ...

Extrusion is a process used for creating a product (an extrudate) by forcing a material through a die or an orifice to form a shape, or alternatively an extruder is used to produce semi-finished or ...

The advantages and disadvantages of hot-melt extrusion in solid dispersion formulations. Solid dispersions represent a promising formulation approach for overcoming today's major challenge in ...

Earlier this year, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Washington, announced that it took delivery of the second generation of its ShAPE, or Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion, ...

The hot melt extrusion (HME) process can be employed in the production of a wide range of pharmaceutical dosage forms, including capsules, tablets, lozenges and implants. HME is suitable for both ...

Earlier this year, deep-tech entrepreneur Eric Donsky formed Atomic13, a joint venture with one of the largest scrap metal companies in North America, to industrialize the Shear Assisted Processing ...
