Efficient Solutions to Combat Edge Erosion in Your Pharmaceutical Tablets

At PAT Group, we understand the importance of preserving the integrity of your products against edge erosion during the coating process. Discover small tips that will make a big difference in the quality and efficiency of your production.

Surface erosion is a common concern among pharmaceutical manufacturers. For this reason, we have devised effective solutions to address the most common challenges faced by the industry in this regard.

Common Problems:

1. Sharp edges: affecting visual and tactile quality.

2. High core friability: affecting strength and durability.

3. Low coating resistance: compromising protection and stability.

4. Too low suspension solids concentration.

5. Low spraying rate: affecting coating uniformity and effectiveness.

6. High drum speed: causing issues in proper coating distribution.

Potential Solutions:

1. Tablet shape/design change: adapt tablet design to ensure even coating distribution.

2. Core improvement: enhance core friability through research and adjustments to improve quality and strength.

3. Selection of high-resistant coating for lasting protection.

4. Increase suspension solids concentration to enhance coating effectiveness.

5. Increase spraying rate: adjust the spraying rate for uniform and efficient coverage.

6. Decrease drum speed: control drum speed to avoid distribution problems and irregular wear.

At PAT Group, we believe that the best way to optimize production and product quality is to work together to develop a customized solution that fits your specific needs.

Our team of experts will analyze your coating process and recommend the most suitable solutions for your products.

Mastering granulation: keys to innovation in the pharmaceutical industry

Granulation plays a crucial role in the production of oral dosage forms. Understanding the available technologies is necessary to ensure the quality and efficiency of the process.

Granulation plays a crucial role in the production of oral dosage forms. Understanding the available technologies is necessary to ensure the quality and efficiency of the process. In the pharmaceutical industry, the production of oral dosage forms relies on three processes: wet granulation, dry granulation (by roller compaction), and direct blending. These processes are...

Tablet formulation methods: High-shear wet granulation

The granulation is crucial to ensuring the final product quality. Learn about the essential steps that optimize this process and the granule's critical properties.

Why wet granulation? When the powder mixture lacks good compressibility and presents flowability, density, or homogeneity issues, the wet granulation method can be a beneficial alternative for your manufacturing process. This method's success lies in achieving an optimal granule endpoint, with characteristics such as shape, mean size, porosity, and resistance suitable ...

Twinning: an obstacle in tablet production. Strategies to overcome it.

When we refer to quality and efficiency at PAT Group, we rely on identifying the challenges our clients face in pharmaceutical product manufacturing.

Known as “Twinning,” tablet production encounters a recurring issue where two or more tablets become stuck with each other. This defect occurs when two granule particles become trapped in the tablet matrix and are not fully compressed, resulting in a tablet with two overlapping layers, also called a “twin tablet” or “twinning.” This setback is attributable to various fa...
