Compression behaviour of granules produced via twin-screw melt granulation: Effect of initial particle size on granulation efficiency

Powder Technology, 2020
Abstract This study focuses on the impact of initial particle size on the tabletability and the deformation behaviour (i.e. plasticity) of granules produced by twin-screw melt granulation (TSMG). As model substances, three different grades of anhydrous dicalcium phosphate (aDCP) were melt-granulated with polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG) using a twin ...

Identification of continuous twin-screw melt granulation mechanisms for different screw configurations, process settings and formulation

International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2023
Twin-screw melt granulation (TSMG) is a promising continuous manufacturing technology for the processing of high drug load formulations and to formulate heat- and moisture-sensitive active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). This study evaluates the influence of process parameters for TSMG, mainly focusing on the effect of the screw configuration ...

Continuous twin-screw melt granulation of poorly compressible and thermal labile drug

2020
Continuous twin-screw melt granulation (TSMG) has been widely used for the last 50 years in various industrial processes. For pharmaceutical manufacturing, TSMG offers many advantages over continuous twin-screw wet granulation and roller compaction.

Optimizing twin-screw melt granulation: The role of overflight clearance on granulation behavior

International Journal of Pharmaceutics
Twin-screw melt granulation (TSMG) relies on the dispersive and distributive mixing at the kneading zone for granule growth to happen highlighting the critical role played by the kneading elements in TSMG. Despite extensive research conducted on the impact of screw geometry in melt compounding, there is not enough literature for TSMG.

Unraveling local heat generation in twin-screw melt granulation

International Journal of Pharmaceutics
Granule growth in twin-screw melt granulation (TSMG) is driven by viscous and frictional heat dissipation at the kneading block. The formation of larger, stronger granules requires the screws to input more energy into processing the material, resulting in local heat generation (ΔTlocal), as indicated by difference between the peak granule temperature ...

Effects of thermal binders on chemical stabilities and tabletability of gabapentin granules prepared by twin-screw melt granulation

International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2019
The effect of thermal binders on the physicochemical properties of gabapentin, a thermally labile drug, in granules prepared using twin-screw melt granulation was investigated in this study. Hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), a thermoplastic high molecular-weight binder, was compared against conventional low molecular-weight semi-crystalline thermal ...

Examining the mechanics of granulation with a hot melt binder in a twin-screw extruder

Chemical Engineering Science, 2012
Abstract Hot melt granulation involves particle enlargement with a binder that is in its molten state during processing with accompanying solids. Fundamental studies of the technique have been presented for high shear mixers and fluidized bed systems in the literature but with the recent interest in twin screw extrusion machinery by the ...

Hot-Melt Granulation in a Twin Screw Extruder: Effects of Processing on Formulations with Caffeine and Ibuprofen

Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2013
Hot-melt granulation (HMG) by twin screw extrusion is a novel technology for the continuous processing of pharmaceuticals but confidence must still be gained regarding whether the environment affects drug properties. In this preliminary study, granulation was studied for a model product containing lactose monohydrate and active ingredients of differing

The use of rheology to elucidate the granulation mechanisms of a miscible and immiscible system during continuous twin-screw melt granulation

International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2016
Twin-screw hot melt granulation (TS HMG) is a valuable, but still unexplored alternative to granulate temperature and moisture sensitive drugs in a continuous way. Recently, the material behavior of an immiscible drug-binder blend during TS HMG was unraveled by using a rheometer and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
