Perform material- and labor-effective extrusion with Thermo Scientific™ Pharma 11 Twin-screw Extruder, which requires only a small amount of active pharmaceutical ingredient, operating at throughput ...

Extrusion is a process used for creating a product (an extrudate) by forcing a material through a die or an orifice to form a shape, or alternatively an extruder is used to produce semi-finished or ...

In the plastics industry, twin screws are at the very heart of the extrusion process that transforms raw materials into rigid PVC pipe or profile. These highly engineered components are integral to ...

Planet Earth is spinning at a rate of 0.0007 rpm. Easy to calculate: One revolution per day, divided by 24 to get revs/hr and then by 60 to get revs/min = rpm. As for linear speed, it depends on where ...

For extrusion purging, operators should ensure that all zones are in the proper temperature range for the type and grade purging compound being used. The barrel should be run empty, and the hopper and ...

Used for producing pasta, plastics, and more, extrusion is a widely used technique to combine and shape materials. Now, researchers report using twin-screw extrusion–where two solid reactants mix via ...

Improved characterization of twin-screw extrusion enables increasing use in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Twin-screw extrusion, a continuous mixing process, is gaining acceptance for producing ...

The author describes the benefits, processes, and practicality of using hot-melt extrusion to mix active pharmaceutical ingredients with pharmaceutical-grade polymers. Extrusion technology is a highly ...
