Slugging, compaction technology

Wet Granulation Technology vs. Slugging Technology vs. Roller Compaction Technology... [Pg.243]

A number of these attributes, best technology practices and features, were rated for their industrial and pharmaceutical importance and reported by Miller and Sheskey in 2001. Ultimately, today s roller compaction technology offers a continuous process with better process controls, manufacturing efficiencies, and environmental protection than an archaic slugging process technology.

This chapter briefly identifies key aspects of roller compaction technology. Unlike the slugging proeess technology, roller compaction technology is well suited for dry granulation agglomeration in the era of modern development of active pharmaceutical ingredients in pharmaceutical plants. [Pg.161]

Sizing devices are now trimly fitted to the compactor body and controlled by variable speed drives. Most compacters no longer require a separate milling machine in tandem to size compacts as required by slugging technology. Roller compactors have clean-in-place systems that offer environmental and safety features. These systems minimize human exposure to chemicals. See Roller Compaction Technology for the Pharmaceutical Industry for additional information (23). [Pg.167]
