A practical guide to the extrusion and spheronization of pharmaceuticals using NICA™ System

The production of pellets by Extrusion and Spheronization involves three essential processes; Mixing of the dry powder components with a liquid to form a homogeneous and evenly wetted mass, Extrusion of the wet mass into cylindrical “spaghetti like” strands and finally Spheronization which fragments the strands into short cylindrical lengths and roll-forms them into spheres.

Equipment for all three processes are available from several manufacturers and, in the case of Mixers and Extruders, in a number of different forms. This guide will first describe and categorise the basic equipment types available and then give practical guidance on the use of Aeromatic-Fielder NICA™ Pelletizing System ... Read more and download
