Pharmaceutical Drying: Design and Manufacturing of a Drying Scale-Down Laboratory Kit
The ETC is seeking companies to build a lab-scale filter dryer that offers the possibility to simultaneously assess the effect of compaction force and agitation on solids being dried (i.e., with various solvent content). We think that this objective can be achieved by having porous added weights with pores configured in such a way that will minimize ascending particles.
Currently, several drying scale-down equipment are available and enable evaluating the effect of several drying parameters on operation performance and product quality. The main parameters studied are the effect of temperature, pressure, compaction force, agitation and level of liquid. The main gap in current drying scale-down technology is the absence of a kit that allows studying the effect of compaction force and level of liquid while the wet substance is being drying. The ability to closely mimic drying at scale, should enable a more accurate prediction of drying in commercial settings, and enhance process understanding and minimize the risk of drying failure at scale.
