Paid Diploma / Master's ThesisInfluence of Material Properties on the Mixing Behavior in the Feed Frame of an Industrial Scale Tablet PressRef.No DA179
To dedicated students of Chemical Engineering, Pharmaceutical Engineering, Pharmacy, or related studies.
Objective
Nowadays, a common method for the continuous production of tablets is the direct compaction (DC). In such a DC line, the feed frame acts as the last station prior to the actual tableting process and is responsible for evenly distributing the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and excipients, and continuously delivering it to the matrices. However, the material properties of APIs and excipients can influence the mixing behavior in the feed frame.
In the course of this diploma/master’s thesis, the impact of the material properties on the mixing behavior in the feed frame of a tablet press in industrial scale size will be investigated. Therefore, particle size, shape, density, and surface characteristics of different APIs and excipients will be analyzed and compared in terms of their mixing performance.
Within the framework of this diploma/master’s thesis, we offer the following:
Extensive participation in a top-level and industrially relevant research project in an international environment.Supervised training in the task.Assistance from experienced staff with the implementation of innovative ideas.Access to highly modern infrastructure on the campus of Graz University of Technology.Assistance with the publication of results.
Financing
Compensation on the basis of a service contract.
