Fluid Air and Oral Solid Dosage News

Designing a spray drying process for heat-sensitive products has always been a big challenge. Traditional spray dryer technology always made use of intense heat, which ended up damaging or decreasing the quality of the end product. With this in mind the next big change in spray drying has reached the Australian and New Zealand market, the PolarDry™ Electrostatic Spray Dryer by Spraying Systems Co. After years of development and refinement this new system is set to change the way many companies dry their product, making the process easier and more effective while no longer sacrificing your product’s end quality.

With the opening of its new East Coast Facility in Merrimack, Spraying Systems Co. isn’t the only one reaping the benefits. Underneath the umbrella of the spray nozzle juggernaut is Fluid Air, which specializes in solid dosage technology.

Spraying Systems, the source of the new drying process specifically adapted to the production of active ingredients concentrates, opened an affiliate in France three years ago. With the start-up next October of a testing center, located at Treillières at the edge of Nantes, the American manufacturer is getting ready to cross over to a new stage: offering companies in the agribusiness sector, specifically, the opportunity to conduct tests under real manufacturing conditions.

Standing along side federally funded research institutions, academic and government labs, and Fortune 500 companies, Fluid Air accepted an award from the prestigious R&D 100 Awards during an awards ceremony held in Walt Disney World on November 17, 2017.

A high-shear granulator or high-shear mixer uses a rotating impeller or high-speed rotor (or both) to create flow and shear. High-shear granulation is an effective way to turn powders into dense granules for tableting or coating. Mixing processes vary from each application so when searching for a mixer, here are some key features to look for that can optimize your process and maximize your batch.

One of the final stages of producing any pharmaceutical or nutraceutical tablet, coating is the essential process that seals a raw tablet, often in order to protect the active ingredients in the drug, protect the stomach lining of the patient, or provide a delayed/time-sensitive release of the medication. In order to achieve these results, the coating process must run smoothly and evenly. Avoiding issues isn’t always an option, but eliminating them when they arise is possible. Here are a few troubleshooting tips to resolve three common tablet coating problems.

With the large variety of milling equipment on the market, it can be difficult to know which type of mill is appropriate for your process. Here are a few things to look for to help you determine which mill might be best for your application.
