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 ...

A presentation at the Leistritz Pharmaceutical-Nutraceutical Extrusion Seminar explained how simulation tools benefit the development process. Twin-screw extruders (TSE) are used in multiple ...

Advances in engineering rely on the development of new materials. The materials must have improved properties, capable of being tailored to a specific application need, to fulfil the requirements of ...

There are several benefits to incorporating hot melt extrusion (HME) processes into pharmaceutical industry manufacturing workflows, particularly when mixing an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) ...

Continuous manufacturing has the potential to offer benefits in terms of reduced costs, footprint, raw material consumption, and byproduct and emission generation combined with increased process ...

A new extrusion process could make it more feasible for the automotive industry to incorporate magnesium alloys into structural components. Magnesium is 75 per cent lighter than steel, 33 per cent ...
