Aspects of Screw Design for Wet Granulation Extrusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses our preliminary trials examining the particle size and particle shape of granules produced by different screw elements in a co-rotating twin-screw extruder. In general, conveying elements did not provide the necessary consolidation to allow large particles to grow in significant quantity, whereas the different mixing elements led to the large particles desired for tabletting. Granules from mixing elements varied from nearspherical to chains to grains to plate-like (disk) shapes depending on the type selected.

متن کاملWet granulation in a twin-screw extruder: implications of screw design.
Wet granulation in twin-screw extrusion machinery is an attractive technology for the continuous processing of pharmaceuticals. The performance of this machinery is integrally tied to its screw design yet little fundamental knowledge exists in this emerging field for granulation to intelligently create, troubleshoot, and scale-up such processes. This study endeavored to systematically examine t...

This paper investigates foam granulation in a twin screw extruder as a new continuous wet granulation technique for pharmaceutical powder drug formulations. Foamed aqueous binder has a reportedly lower soak-to-spread ratio than drop or spray liquid addition in batch granulation. This work demonstrates a twin screw extruder configuration for foam granulation and subsequently compares the new app...

In most formulations processed via continuous twin screw granulation microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and/or lactose are used as excipients, but mannitol is also a preferred excipient for wet granulation and tableting due to its non-hygroscopicity and inertness. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to investigate the influence of process parameters on critical quality attributes of granu...
