There are several benefits to incorporating hot melt extrusion (HME) processes into pharmaceutical industry manufacturing workflows, particularly when mixing an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Polyvinyl chloride pipes have become the backbone of modern plumbing, drainage, and irrigation systems worldwide. Understanding the intricate manufacturing process behind these ubiquitous construction ...

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 ...

In this interview, AZoM talks to Dr.-Ing. M. Azad Emin, Chair of Food Process Engineering at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, about his team's research within the field of sustainable foods, and the ...
