Evaluation of gravitational consolidation of binary powder mixtures by modified Heckel equation
Consolidation of powders by tapping is an important quality test but it is time and material consuming, which encourages the use of mathematical modelling. This article aims to study this gravitational consolidation dynamics by using nine binary mixtures consisting of cellets and powdered…

Application of different models to evaluate the key factors of fluidized bed layering granulation…
Different modeling approaches were used to understand the key factors affecting the outcomes of pulse sprayed FBLG. A large amount of metformin hydrochloride (~83%) was layered onto Cellets® seeds to obtain directly compressible granules. The effect of spray rate, mass flow rate, inlet air…

Product-Property Guided Scale-Up of a Fluidized Bed Spray Granulation Process Using the CFD-DEM…
In this work, a method to predict the surface structures of particles produced by fluidized bed spray layering granulation using the CFD-DEM method was developed. A simple state-variable/event tracking approach was implemented to capture indirect quantifiers of the progression of structure-forming…

Different trends for preparation of budesonide pellets with enhanced dissolution rate
The current research attempts different approaches to overcome the poor dissolution of budesonide (a poorly water-soluble drug) from pellet formulations. Various methods such as liqui-pellet (LP) and pellets made of solid dispersion (SDP) were employed and compared to conventional pellets (CP). In…

Review on Starter Pellets: Inert and Functional Cores
A significant proportion of pharmaceuticals are now considered multiparticulate systems. Modified-release drug delivery formulations can be designed with engineering precision, and patient-centric dosing can be accomplished relatively easily using multi-unit systems. In many cases, Multiple-Unit…

Method Development Technology and Optimisation Studies in Famotidine Pellets: An In Vitro Release
Oral medication administration has long been the most convenient and widely utilized technique of drug administration. Pellets are fine powders or granules of bulk pharmaceuticals and excipients agglomerated together. They are made up of tiny, freeflowing spherical or semi-spherical solid units that…
