Abstract

Manufacturing solid low-dose pharmaceutical products has always the homogeneity challenge. In continuous manufacturing, there is the additional challenge of feeding active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) dry powder at low rates. This paper presents a method for feeding API particles into a continuous extrusion process using a suspension. The challenges for feeding and the product homogeneity are both addressed.
