Addressing Material Properties in the Design of a Direct Compression Continuous -Webcast 2014

Virtually, all solid dosage forms in the pharmaceutical industry have been manufactured in ‘batch’ despite cost and processing disadvantages associated with manufacturing a product in batch mode. Market forces coupled with a conducive regulatory environment have enabled researchers to consider manufacturing pharmaceuticals ‘continuously’. The presentation addresses the role of material properties in the design of a direct compaction continuous manufacturing system. The presenter believe that a substantial technical challenge to continuous processing is understanding ‘in-process’ material properties , their interaction with process equipment and subsequent effects on product quality.
