ROTOMELT GRANULATION

摘要

A process for producing granules by rotomelt granulation comprising mixing at least one powdered pharmaceutically active material and a powdered excipient material within a zone wherein both powdered materials are maintained in a fluidized state by a rising stream of gas in an apparatus having a rapidly rotating horizontal-disk located within a vertical vessel wherein said gas is at a temperature sufficient to cause at least one powdered material to at least partially melt thereby causing said powdered materials to aggregate and form granules.
