The Pharma 16 Twin-Screw Extruder is ideal for pilot-scale, continuous HME or TSG processes used for research, development or production in the pharmaceutical industry. Companies can bring products to market faster and with high quality by developing a continuous process for solid dosage forms compared to a batch process. Effects of pilot-scale process conditions on drug formulations for drug delivery and pharmaceutics can easily be studied using the Pharma 16 Twin-Screw Extruder.
Pharma 16 Twin-Screw Extruder highlights:
- 2-in-1 process design – quickly disassemble parts for easy cleaning and process switching from HME to TSG.
- Simple continuous process integration - plug-and-play functionality with upstream and downstream process equipment (e.g., feeders, chill rolls, pelletizers, dryers, etc) simplifies production line design.
- Less optimization time, cost and effort – extruder process parameters are scaleable to larger Thermo Scientific extruders due to geometric similarity with minimal use of expensive ingredients.
