INSIGHTS ON SOLID DOSE MANUFACTURING

SOLID DOSE MANUFACTURING SOLUTIONS

  • Discover the nanoparticle engineering, formulation and GMP manufacturing services that can drive forward your market success and unlock the power of “small."

  • Isotube is an effective option for the safe loading and charging of multiple drums of HPAPIs.  Compared to the DCS® Drum Containment System for safely discharging drums, it is the preferred choice when charging lumpy and agglomerated products as a lump breaker system can be included in the lower part of the discharge hopper.

  • Stop wasting time on frustrating, trial-and-error methods to level your tablet press feeder platform. "Close enough" isn't good enough—especially when it leads to excess formulation loss or costly equipment damage. With the Natoli EZ Level™ Feeder Base Leveling System, you can achieve fast, accurate, and repeatable results—every time.

  • 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.

  • If you handle multiple packaging, Dec can help in providing one single multi-packaging filling station handling FIBCs, drums, cardboard boxes etc.).
