2. Understanding R&D Continuous Processing
Continuous Pharmaceutical Processing Workshop Series
During our Understanding R&D Continuous
Processing workshops, we will focus on optimizing
particle size distribution using different screw
elements, melt granulation with a twin screw
granulator and conducting a design of experiment
(DoE) test with a minimal amount of product.
We will also investigate process transfer from the
laboratory scale ConsiGma™ 1 to the production-size
ConsiGma™ 25 as a case study..
On completing the training, participants will benefit
from a thorough understanding of pharmaceutical
continuous processing technology, be able to set
up a DoE for continuous granulation and have
developed a much better awareness of continuous
manufacturing terminology. Furthermore, they will
have gained hands-on continuous granulation and
drying experience, and recognize how to improve
operational performance and optimize a product.
The workshops are designed to be fully interactive,
and each participant will have the opportunity to
ask questions and share real-life experiences. All
presentations and demonstrations will be given by
our experienced process specialists.
Who should attend?
The workshops are aimed at R&D scientists and
managers, production supervisors, quality assurance
staff, process engineers and trainers.
