• Extrudability of newly developed materials
• Manufacturing homogeneous melts
• Manufacturing films, foils, strands and profiles for optical and mechanical testing as well as outdoor exposure tests
• Measuring rheological behavior (viscosity, elasticity)
• Testing individual and combined influences of additives (stabilizer, lubricant) and functional additives (anti-oxidation, UV-stabilizers, pigments and fillers)
• Foam extrusion

Overcome drug formulation challenges

Pharmaceutical manufacturers are using conical and twin-screw extruders to mix drug molecules with bioactive polymers in situations where drug ingredients are poorly soluble or unstable during processing. Extruders are also useful in preparing enteric dosages, sustained release dosages, in taste-masking, and to create forms such as films.

Gain the advantages of a continuous process

Continuous granulation offers a more efficient and cost-effective route for producing tablets and capsules, particularly when developing new formulations where scale-up is difficult due to the narrow optimal working points found in batch devices such as mixers, agitators and choppers.
