Pelleting system fully integrates the extrusion and spheronization processes to convert drug formulations into free flowing spheres of a controlled shape and size. In operation, a wet granulation batch, prepared in a high shear granulator, is loaded into the hopper of the patented Circle Feeder, which is part of the system. The Circle Feeder continuously meters the wet granulation into the system’s extruder, either the Twin Dome Granulator™ or Radial Extruder™, which forms cylindrical extrudates. The extrudates break off by their own weight and are collected in the discharging system. The wet extrudates are then charged to the LCI Spheronizer where they are converted into spheres, which are subsequently dried/coated.
