A global pharmaceutical manufacturer supplying the US market was falling short of its order commitments for sucralfate tablets.
Long drying cycles, extended raking times and a 20% rejection rate were limiting production yield and leading to order non-fulfilment penalties.
Working with process specialists at ACG Laboratories, they traced the bottlenecks to excessive blowback airflow in the high-shear mixer, transfer choking between the granulator and fluid bed dryer, and insufficient fluidisation height during drying.
Together, these issues broadened granule size distribution, reduced drying efficiency and extended batch times.
Learn which targeted process improvements increased their productivity from 1 to 3 batches per day and allowed them to meet their monthly production targets in just 15 days.
