Melt Extrusion

 

Melt extrusion is a continuous process for mixing and designing moldable materials. This process is well known in the polymer and food industry and is now being used for pharmaceutical manufacture due to its economic and environmental advantages and the opportunity to create innovative new formulations.

 

Advantages of Melt Extrusion Processes:

  • Small equipment
  • Economic continuous process
  • Solvent-free manufacture
  • High mixing effi ciency
  • Closed process unit to prevent cross-contamination
  • Short processing time
  • Easily controlled process parameters
  • Possibility of online analytics for process control

 

Possibilities by Melt Extrusion Process:

  • Taste Masking
  • Solubility enhancement
  • Sustained-release pellets manufacturing
