BWE’s new SheathEx process is an extension of its Conform and Conklad continuous extrusion technology. The SheathEx machine extrudes a continuous and seamless aluminium tube (max. diameter 165mm) from ...

Increasingly smaller medical devices require tighter tolerances that make extrusion process control more difficult. Photos courtesy of TEEL PLASTICS INC. As medical devices get smaller and tolerances ...

A presentation at the Leistritz Pharmaceutical-Nutraceutical Extrusion Seminar explained how simulation tools benefit the development process. Twin-screw extruders (TSE) are used in multiple ...

Aluminum is particularly well suited to the extrusion process due to its excellent plasticity at extrusion temperature. Only a minor degree of work-hardening takes place at this temperature and ...

The advantages and disadvantages of hot-melt extrusion in solid dispersion formulations. Solid dispersions represent a promising formulation approach for overcoming today's major challenge in ...
