Increasingly smaller medical devices require tighter tolerances that make extrusion process control more difficult. Photos courtesy of TEEL PLASTICS INC. As medical devices get smaller and tolerances ...
Using a proprietary process, Microspec extrudes single- and multilumen bump tubing for minimally invasive applications. The proliferation of minimally invasive procedures has prompted engineers and ...
Choosing appropriate screens for an extrusion process involves striking a balance between filtration needs (removing more contaminants) and overheating. Finer screens get more contaminants out, but ...
Critical issues that should be considered when scaling up a hot-melt extrusion process. Hot-melt extrusion (HME) using twin-screw extruders (TSEs) is increasingly being used to make solid dispersions ...
With throughput up to 100 kg/h, the new twin-screw extruder brings lab-grade process understanding into pilot-scale ...
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 ...
We have a fascination with gloss. Think of shining shoes, polishing apples for the teacher, don’t touch my car, squeaky-clean and more. Somehow, shiny noses are the other way around, which is why we ...
Hot melt extrusion (HME) formulation development depends heavily on choosing the appropriate polymers. This article reviews HME process parameters and highlights three polymers in HME: polyethylene ...
