Many pharmaceutical manufacturers have reported that producing Multiple Unit Pellet System (MUPS) tablets, using conventional bin blending to feed a tablet press, poses significant challenges regarding process yield, productivity and batch content uniformity. This is because MUPS blends are susceptible to particle segregation. However, a new production method has been developed that eliminates these inefficiencies and product quality risks.
To increase process yield and guarantee tablet quality, an innovative new MUPS production method – a continuous dosing, blending and compression system – has been developed by GEA Courtoy. This system eliminates the production inefficiencies and quality risks by minimising segregation and monitoring the process online.
GEA Courtoy’s Managing Director, Jan Vogeleer insightful article about this exciting new technology was recently publiched in the “Innovations in Pharmaceutical Technology” magazine.
