Extruders & HMEs
Self-Cleaning Twin Screw Extruders and Hot Melt Extrusions (HMEs)
ProenteQ stands as a beacon in the engineering solutions landscape, offering a wealth of expertise in extrusion technologies and Hot Melt Extrusion (HME), among other advanced processing methods. These technologies are integral to a wide array of industries, from plastics and biopolymers to food and pharmaceuticals, facilitating the creation of products that meet precise specifications and quality standards.
Extruders and Their Advanced Capabilities
Our extruders are designed to process a variety of materials under conditions of high pressure and temperature, pushing material through a shaped die to produce a product with a continuous profile. Specifically, our twin-screw extruders are renowned for their versatility and efficiency, essential in both food and pharmaceutical applications. They offer:
Precise Control Over Processing Conditions
- The capability to meticulously regulate temperature, pressure, and shear rates, allowing for the production of a broad range of products tailored to specific requirements.
Enhanced Mixing and Shearing Capabilities
- Thanks to the intermeshing screws, our extruders achieve superior mixing and shearing, crucial for the homogeneous incorporation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) or the creation of complex textures in food products.
Flexibility in Formulation Adjustments
- Our technology enables on-the-fly adjustments to formulations, significantly enhancing productivity by reducing downtime and waste.
Innovations in Hot Melt Extrusion (HME)
HME technology is a cornerstone in our arsenal, especially for the pharmaceutical industry, where it is employed to enhance the solubility and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. Key benefits include:
Improved Drug Delivery Mechanisms
- By producing solid dispersions, HME technology optimizes the dissolution rate of active ingredients, thus boosting their bioavailability.
Versatility in Dosage Forms
- Supporting the creation of diverse drug delivery formats, from films and tablets to transdermal patches, HME offers unparalleled flexibility.
Continuous Processing Advantage
- HME’s support for continuous production marks a significant improvement over traditional batch processes, facilitating efficiency in scale-up and manufacturing.
Broadening the Horizon with Innovative Technologies
Beyond extrusion and HME, ProenteQ integrates a suite of innovative solutions to enhance the manufacturing process:
Self-Cleaning Mechanisms
- These systems significantly reduce downtime by ensuring that operations can continue without interruptions for cleaning, a critical feature for maintaining high throughput.
Advanced Material Handling
- Our solutions include automated feeding systems and streamlined downstream integration, enabling smooth transitions from raw material input to finished product packaging.
Custom Design and Engineering Services
- ProenteQ excels in providing tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of each industry, whether overcoming spatial constraints in facilities or addressing specific product development challenges.
