Advantages and industrial applications of an innovative process
Continuous manufacturing is gaining in momentum within the pharmaceutical industry for many years. Poor compressibility, high drug loads and other conditions may generate the necessity to perform a wet granulation step prior to tableting. However, the process of continuous wet granulation and drying can be challenging to handle e.g. due to potential filter blockage over time, inconsistent drying results or a poor control over the residence time distribution. Furthermore, there were no truly continuously operating dryers available on the market, so far.
This webinar promotes an in-depth understanding of the influences of various critical process parameters on critical quality attributes of wet and dry granules, produced via continuous granulation and truly continuous drying.
Results from statistically evaluated experimental plans and long-time continuous granulation trials give new insights into the efficacy, safety and stability of an innovative continuous drying technology.
Current industrial applications on R&D level and market as well as clinical production will be presented to underline the feasibility of this process to gain value for fully continuous operations, as well as semi-continuous (stand-alone continuous granulation and drying) processes with and without high-containment capabilities.
If you want to learn how an innovative truly continuous granulation and drying process can boost your efficiency in R&D and commercial production and how it may help you to improve quality, reduce costs and to reduce required GmP area - register for this webinar and enjoy the presentation.
