Modeling basis
Extruders cannot differentiate between pharma polymers and “traditional”thermoplastics
API’s that do not melt are no different than filled thermoplastic compounds.Pharma solid dispersion is no different than polymer alloy.
The extruder can only detect viscosity, degree-of-fill, pressure, etc…

Modeling basis
Hot melt extruder geometry is identical to “traditional” polymer machinery – from the perspective of the melt in the screw channel (intermeshing, co-rotating Erdmenger self-wiping profile). Hot melt extrusion applications can use existing modeling and simulation tools available for “traditional” polymer processing.Interpretation of results is critical to the successful use of these tools…

Summary
Commercial process successfully launchedLower discharge temperature and narrower RTD than lab-scale process (also lighter color)Different extruder geometry and screw designSpecific energy same as lab-scale
Product specifications (crystallinity, degradation products, dissolution) can be correlated with specific energy, residence time and thermal history

Summary
1D process simulation for hot melt extrusion applications is commercially available and provides a cost-effective tool to probe deeper inside the extruder
Expensive and scarce API’s (kg quantities)Scale-up (translation between OEM machinery)Product and process optimization
These simulation tools can be used to model both solid dispersion and controlled release oral solid dosage forms
