Pharmaceutical equipment design and deciding the operational parameter for optimal performance involves many variables. With high material cost short turn around times it becomes essential to reduce development time. We can achieve this by including virtual prototyping in the development cycle.
Details
Pharmaceutical industry, handles granular material by equipment conducting processes such as powder mixing and blending, powder compaction, granulation, and tablet coating. Designing the right equipment and using it with the correct operational parameters becomes essential to get the most out of the equipment and have tight control on product quality.
This webinar will present how DEM simulations can be used to predict tasks like tablet mixing in a coating operation. The importance of polyhedral shape representation, and importing custom shapes for accurate representation of particles will be discussed. In addition, comprehensive Rocky DEM post-processing capabilities will be presented, which enables equipment designers to examine critical process output parameters for design optimization and risk mitigation during operations, improving Pharmaceutical Equipment Design.
