The process of spheronization consists of four key steps:-
- To optimize and achieve the right binder addition & mixing time for your formulation
- Mixing or granulation - a mixer or granulator is required
- Extrusion - an extruder is required
- Spheronization - a spheronizer is required
- Drying and possibly coating - a coater and drier may be required
This is all made simple by the Caleva suite of R&D equipment shown in the section below.
Quantify the Characteristics of your Formulation
- Reduce your formulation development time
- Optimize the characteristics of your formulation?
- Can you confirm that the same product from different suppliers behaves differently in your formulations?
- Would it be useful to be able to quantify the characteristics of samples taken from your granulator?
Mix, Extrude, Spheronize and Analyse with a Single Bench-Top Unit
- Save benchtop space, time and materials with small batch sizes of 10 - 40 g
- Fast processing times means you can go from powder to pellets in 20 minutes or less
- Various bowls, blades, extruder screws, barrels, and die options available for different materials
- Multi Lab Classic's software and accessories can be upgraded after purchase to the Multi Lab Scientific
- Multi Lab Scientific has automated data acquisition, recipe management and automatic operation, motor load % reports, temperature monitoring and data export for in-depth analysis.
Quickly Coat or Dry a Few Tablets, Capsules or Pellets
- From a single tablet up to about 50 tablets
- From a few grams to about 60 grams of small pellets
- From a single capsule to a "small handful" of pellets
- You can reduce the amounts of ingredients used whilst still producing meaningful results
