Spray Drying of Eudragit (pharma carrier)
Spray Drying of Eudragit (pharma carrier) with the Mini Spray Dryer B-290
Eudragit is a widely used pharmaceutical polymer that is used as a drug carrier for the controlled release of drugs. Spray drying is a common method used to produce Eudragit-based dry powders, which can improve drug stability and bioavailability.
During the spray drying process, a liquid Eudragit solution is atomized into fine droplets and dried in a hot air stream to produce a dry powder. The resulting powder has good flowability, solubility, and stability, making it ideal for use in various pharmaceutical applications.
Areas of spray drying of Eudragit include the selection of appropriate raw materials, formulation development, process optimization, and product characterization. The optimal processing conditions such as temperature, flow rate, and inlet/outlet conditions are determined to optimize the particle size, powder yield, and other physicochemical properties of the resulting powder.
Spray-dried Eudragit powders are commonly used in various pharmaceutical applications, such as the formulation of sustained-release tablets, capsules, and other drug delivery systems. The use of spray drying technology ensures consistent quality and high production efficiency, making it a preferred method for producing Eudragit-based dry powders.
