Hot Melt Extrusion Downstream Equipment for pharma grade polymers

Hot melt extrusion is an ideal manufacturing technique for preparing several types of dosage forms and drug delivery systems. It offers numerous advantages: the absence of solvents, few processing steps, continuous operation, and the possibility of a solid formulation via controlled and improved diffusion.The extruder is usually combined with different types of downstream supplementary equipment, in order to obtain extrusion-based production lines that are capable of manufacturing a variety of solid dosage forms (pellets, tablets, etc.).CILYX has developed a variety of supplementary downstream equipment for various pharmaceutical applications, from the laboratory to large-scale production: precision cutting and calibration systems (pelletizers), ring-welding solutions, visual inspection etc.
