This Equipment used for R & D or Teaching work with small quantities rare and expensive development compounds. Spheronization is widely used within the pharmaceutical and allied industries.

Spheroids are small spherical beads or pellets. That is generated in a Spheronizer from extruded material. The diameter of the spheroids is largely determined by the diameter of the Extrudate. You can use spheroids when incompatible active ingredients need to be presented in a single dose or when you require an active ingredient to have different release rates within a single formulation.

Lab extruder is a small table-top device that provides the researcher and new product developer a means to quickly evaluate the effectiveness of fine granulation by extrusion. It can also be used for initial formulation development. In case, time and money are saved because the product generated is indicative of that produced in a full-scale production system. The laboratory granulator conserves valuable resources. Only a small amount of research material, sometimes only 100 grams per batch, is needed to obtain a good evaluation.
