First TTC continuous hands-on seminar, 2017

The Technology Training Center (TTC) hosted the first “hands-on continuous” workshop of its kind at Glatt´s new Innovation Center in Binzen, Germany, attracting participation from the global pharmaceutical industry.

The seminar began with a half-day introduction to the theoretical basis of continuous and wet granulation, the direct compression process and relevant PAT tools (Process Analytical Technologies). The participants were divided into two groups on the second day. Each group took turns in observing and operating the processes. It was impressive to see that the first granulated powders or finished tablets were produced within only a few minutes. Various process parameters were tested during operation. Changing process parameters means also changing the product attributes. The attributes were monitored live and instantly by the PAT tools, which measured particle size, residual moisture and content uniformity. The remainder of the seminar consisted of a review of the process results, a testing of alternative PAT tools and learning how to dismantle and clean the equipment most effectively, teaching the participants that fast change-over is achievable with well-designed continuous process equipment. The TTC team is extremely proud to mention that the overall ratings given by the participants were higher than average once again – Thank you!

NOTE: Due to the overwhelming number of applicants, a second continuous seminar will be held on the 7th -9th November 2017 in Binzen, Germany. Only a few places are left, so sign up now!
