INSIGHTS ON SOLID DOSE MANUFACTURING

SOLID DOSE MANUFACTURING SOLUTIONS

  • Forming part of 3P innovation’s Discover Range, this early-stage development unit uses two sets of die punches to compress pellets and seal them within a blister strip. Used predominantly for dry powder inhalers (DPIs), the ultra-compact filler fits on your lab benchtop.

  • ILC Dover is 100% focused on containing your process to get your product to market fast, safe, and pure. Our single-use containment solutions leverage our patented and industry-leading ArmorFlex® films to deliver extreme durability for a lower cost.

  • Natoli Engineering Company, through its Carlisle Precision Encapsulation Parts subsidiary, manufactures premium change and spare parts for many brands of encapsulation machines.

  • Basic Powder Flow Characterization [USP <1174>]:

    A powder flow analysis is an indicator of how well formulation will release from the hopper during the tableting. It is important to know that the developed formulation is showing ‘Mass Flow’ or ‘Funnel Flow’ or ‘Rat Holing’.

    Powder blend shows ‘Mass Flow’ when the entire solid bed is in motion during the discharge of material from the outlet. This is a ‘First-in-First-Out’ process. Hoppers offering ‘Mass Flow’ have steep and/or low-friction walls. This flow offers ‘No-Arching’, ‘Less Segregation’, and ‘Stable Powder Flow’.

    When the hopper is not sufficiently steep and smooth enough to ensure sliding along its wall, the powder blend exhibit ‘Funnel Flow’. Such hoppers are sensitive to arching and ratholing. In this case, powder discharge from the hopper is not predictable.

  • Antibody‑drug conjugate services support development from early clinical stages through commercial manufacturing with integrated analytics, containment expertise, and scalable conjugation capabilities.
