Hot Melt Extruder: Revolutionizing Pharmaceutical Formulations
Application
Hot Melt Extruders represent an evolution of screw extruders, where a meticulously controlled heater warms the barrel, transferring the heat to the product. This process results in the extrusion of a molten polymeric mass through die plates. The extruder’s design allows for gentle compaction, making it an ideal choice for numerous pharmaceutical formulations, particularly those sensitive in nature.
Purpose
The primary purpose of the Hot Melt Extruder is to facilitate the production of pharmaceutical formulations with precision and efficiency. The equipment’s design ensures that the product’s temperature is maintained, and the material is processed consistently, meeting the stringent requirements of the pharmaceutical industry.
