Continuous Pelletizer and Spheronizer -- Micro particles for ingredient administration
|
This technology relates to an equipment designed to prepare pellets, i. e., agglomerates of particles in the solid state, at room temperature with a closely spherical shape, which in the presence of a liquid, may disintegrate, or simply release an active ingredient. Pelletisation is a process of agglomeration that transforms fine powders into small, free-flowing spheroids. The active ingredient is generally released in a controlled manner, preferably over an extended period of time, into the liquid environment. The active ingredient may be a pharmaceutically active ingredient, a compound for water treatment, a pesticide or herbicide, or nutrient. Pellets are of particular interest as orally administered controlled release pharmaceuticals or as intermediates in the production of other products (e. g. medicines).
