Pharma 11 Twin-screw Extruder

The Thermo Scientific Pharma 11 is a unique, flexible twin screw extruder for hot melt extrusion and twin screw granulation.
In the early development of a new drug research and development formulation scientists face the challenge that only a small amount of expensive API (Active pharmaceutical ingredient) is available for experiments.

The Thermo Scientific Pharma 11 extruder provides material and labor effective extrusion capabilities down to 20g/h. Its parallel 11mm twin screws and compact design which is fully scalable with the Thermo Scientific stand alone pharmaceutical compounding systems enables the researcher to obtain process relevant results or even perform small scale production.

The Pharma 11 is a very small scale extruder perfect for a wide range of drug development applications. Requiring a minimum throughput of just 20g/h, it is ideal for research and development applications especially when developing and testing recipes with expensive API and associated compounds. As a GMP-compliant unit, the Thermo Scientific Pharma 11 is also suitable for clinical trials and small scale production for throughputs up to 2.5kg/h.

Designed to meet the toughest challenges faced by customers and at the same time maximize the investment when progressing through the phases of the product development cycle, the screw and barrel designs are geometrically scalable across the whole Thermo Scientific portfolio of extruders from lab and pilot scale through to production scale.

A wide range of accessories are available for the Pharma 11 to offer a complete extrusion solution. These include volumetric and gravimetric feeders, conveyor belt and pelletizer.
