Press Simulation

Using our compaction simulator, we can help clients reduce the risks of scaling up their operations. The press simulator helps predict manufacturability and highlights potential issues early, helping to save money. 

Problem areas this process can mitigate include tablet capping and lamination, which can have serious ramifications of scalability and manufacture. We have decades of experience in the industry - see how we can help. 

Formulation Scale Up

Scaling up the production of a formulation can be risky, as greater quantities of formulation are involved, and issues can arise from the process. Compressing the powder at production speeds using our press simulation profiles gives manufacturers greater insight into these risk areas and mitigates them. It's important to identify potential issues and problem areas early in the production. This means there's time to make changes without incurring significant costs.

We can use as little as 20g of a formulation that's in development to assess suitability. Obviously, this is a far smaller quantity than in actual manufacturing. 

We offer a range of tests, simulations and services to help scale up production and manufacturability.
