Continuous Manufacturing in Oral Solid Dosage

Dissolving tablet representing increased dissolution rates and enhanced solubility of the active ingredient.

Continuous Manufacturing (CM) is a new technology trend in pharmaceutical tablet production which offers many benefits for economics and quality of the products – but challenges as well.

The material handling in CM lines requires specific excipient properties to achieve constant feeding performance, such as good flow and constant quality batch to batch. Excipients with optimal processing properties or excipients tailored for CM often allow to reduce the number of formulation components and, as a result, the number of feeding stations needed. Depending on the selected CM process, direct compressible materials, or materials compatible with twin screw granulation may be needed.

Our portfolio of excipients optimized for excellent performance in solid dose manufacturing processes, suitable for CM, includes:

  • Parteck® LM self-lubricating filler/binder for all tableting processes and suitable for batch and continuous manufacturing processes.
  • Parteck® M mannitol suitable for direct compression, dry granulation, and wet granulation, including twin screw granulation.
  • Parteck® ODT excipient system for fast release and orally disintegrating dosage forms.
  • Parteck® SRP 80 excipient designed for direct compression, enabling controlled release dosage forms.
  • Polyvinyl alcohol 4-88 and particle-optimized quality Parteck® MXP 4-88 polymer as effective binders in continuous twin screw granulation.

All supported by the Emprove® Program with comprehensive documentation to speed up your way to the market. Whenever applicable, our products are compliant with the major pharmacopeias.
