Modelling the Compaction Step of a Platform Direct Compression Process.

ABSTRACT: The ability to predict formulation behaviour at production scale during formulation design can reduce the time to market and decrease product development costs. However, it is challenging to extrapolate compaction settings for direct compression formulations between tablet press models during scale-up and transfer from R&D to commercial production. The aim of this study was to develop statistical process models to predict tablet tensile strength, porosity and disintegration time from compaction parameters (pre-compression and main compression force, and press speed), for three formulations, with differing deformation characteristics (plastic, brittle and elastic), on three tablet press models (one pilot-scale tablet press (KG RoTab) and two production-scale presses (Fette 1200i and GEA Mod
