Lipid excipients are applied for numerous purposes such as taste masking, controlled
release, improvement of swallowability and moisture protection. Several melting techniques …

Polymer coatings are widely used to provide drug protection, taste masking, coloration and
modified drug release. Typically, coating polymers must be diluted or dispersed in solvents …

Hot-melt coating (HMC) as a solvent-free technology grants faster and more economic
coating processes with reduced risk of dissolving the drug during the process. Moreover …

The present work investigates experimentally continuous spray fluidized bed layering with
external product separation. In this process configuration, growing particles are continuously …

The present work investigates spray fluidized bed layering to continuously generate sodium
benzoate granules from a solution. Product granules are discharged from the process …

Hot-melt coating is of growing interest, because it does not require solvents, resulting in
reduced process times and costs. However, excipients for this technology are mainly …

Coating of particulate solids is a well-known process within the chemical, pharmaceutical
and food industry. Most of these industries use it to achieve a defined product behavior. Melt …

The objective of this study was to prepare and evaluate metoprolol tartrate sustained-
release pellets. Cores were prepared by hot melt extrusion and coated pellets were …

A new first degree solids mixing rate is proposed to evaluate the mixing of solids in small
scale fluidized beds. Particle mixing experiments were carried out in a 2D fluidized bed with …

The combination of a spouted bed with non-thermal plasma has been used widely in
industrial chemical processes. However, the detailed behavior of particles in a spouted bed …
