    Alexanderwerk would like to thank Natoli Engineering for the opportunity to participate in Natoli’s Scientific Tablet Development and Scale Up Training Seminar (April 20-22, 2021) in Telford, PA.  What a breath of fresh air for attendees to be able to do this in person – of course using current pandemic social distancing guidelines.

    Al Friedrich explains dry roller compaction and granulation

    This seminar covered many steps of tablet production, including milling, blending, granulation, tableting, coating, powder rheology, and excipient selection.  Alexanderwerk Inc’s topic of this informative seminar was the critical step of granule preparation, prior to tableting through the use of dry granulation technology using Alexanderwerk’s WP series roller compactor.  If interested in any of these topics, please reach out to Alexanderwerk or Natoli for more information. Looking forward to the next seminar.

    AW regional sales managers Al Friedrich and Matt Walczer

    Albin Friedrich & Matt Walczer introduce our WP 200 Pharma during last years Granulation Seminar at our US facility.

    Our colleagues Albin “Al” Friedrich and Matt Walczer, both National Sales Managers at Alexanderwerk Inc. (USA),  recently wrote an article about how a roller compactor can be configured to properly and consistently provide a homogeneous powder blend during the granulation process. Additionally, the article covered in more detail how internal tests conducted on a WP 200 Pharma at Alexanderwerk in Montgomeryville (USA) were used to help recycle fines screened out during the granulation process and re-introduced during the compaction process.

    Alexanderwerk has a very attractive and patented solution that features a metered material flow back into its CombiVent chamber in the roller compactor’s feed hopper. Reintroducing off-size recycled granules using such a dual chamber feed hopper design delivers efficient mixing and homogeneous distribution during the granulation process. Check out the results in this article in the latest version of Powder Bulk Engineering (page 35): https://www.e-digitaleditions.com/i/1263839-pbe0720/35?

    Do you want to learn more about how to best recycled fines in your granulation process? You can either contact us via email (compaction-AW(at)alexanderwerkinc.com) or look up your local contact in our global contacts section.
