Abstract

Hot-Melt-Extrusion (HME) is a flexible process that uses high temperature and pressure conditions to pump raw materials such as an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) and a pharmaceutical grade polymer through a barrel. The material is conveyed and mixed using intermeshing co-rotating twin-screws and then pushed through a die to form a well-shaped strand. Due to the high mixing degree provided by the twin-screws, the drug is transformed from crystalline to amorphous form. The use of twin-screw extruders is currently being implemented within continuous manufacturing platforms (Crowley, 2007).
