Freeman Technology will be demonstrating the ability of its FT4 Powder Rheometer to support the development of pharmaceutical manufacturing processes at Interphex 2014.
In addition to discussing the latest developments in continuous wet granulation, specialists from Freeman Technology will be on hand on Booth #2336 to demonstrate the FT4 Powder Rheometer and provide practical advice on all aspects of powder characterisation.
Freeman Technology recently undertook a collaborative project with GEA Pharma Systems, a global provider of pharmaceutical processing solutions, to investigate the optimisation and control of continuous wet granulation.
Wet granulation is routinely used in the pharmaceutical industry to prepare blends for tableting.
The research revealed correlations between the dynamic powder properties of pre-tableting wet granules and the critical quality attributes of final oral solid dosage tablets.
The results illustrated how dynamic powder testing using the FT4 Powder Rheometer can enable the streamlining of product development and can help ensure product control during continuous manufacturing procedures.
The FT4 Powder Rheometer is a universal powder tester, measuring bulk, shear and dynamic powder properties, and can test powders in consolidated, aerated and fluidised states.
The system delivers detailed, relevant and precise powder characterisation information that supports the rationalisation and optimisation of powder handling processes at every stage of pharmaceutical manufacture, from formulation through to Quality Control.
