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 ...
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 ...
The authors examine the influence of glass-transition temperature, melt viscosity, degradation temperature, and process settings. Hot-melt extrusion (HME) technology is prominent in the pharmaceutical ...
Developed by EJS Extrusion LLC (Jaffrey, NH; www.ejs-extrusion.com), an extrusion process for coating discrete lengths of tapered guidewires eliminates the need for a separate distal tip. Coating the ...
Editor?s note: The author, Donald E. De Laney, a consultant in polymer process rheology, worked with GE for 17 years and has worked with Dynisco over the past eight years. The plastics compounding and ...
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 ...
