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 ...

Earlier this year, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Washington, announced that it took delivery of the second generation of its ShAPE, or Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion, ...

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 ...

Extrusion is a process used for creating a product (an extrudate) by forcing a material through a die or an orifice to form a shape, or alternatively an extruder is used to produce semi-finished or ...

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 ...

Accurate prediction of breakthrough extruding force is very important for extrusion production, especially for the large-scale extrusion process, which directly affects the production costs and safety ...

The hot melt extrusion (HME) process can be employed in the production of a wide range of pharmaceutical dosage forms, including capsules, tablets, lozenges and implants. HME is suitable for both ...
