FFSim™ Feed Frame Simulator

FFSim Feed Frame SimulatorProcess development is a critical stage in scaling up pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. Time and API is precious in process development and it is critical that all major risk factors are identified before tech transfer to manufacturing. Traditionally, scale up facilities are used in process development. A more modern approach to process development is to use laboratory-scale simulators that closely mimics commercial production but can operate more quickly and with less API. The rich data collected from laboratory-scale simulators supports Pharma 4.0 initiatives through quickly gaining process knowledge, rapidly develop scalable PAT models. These data can also input into digital twins.

One proven example of a laboratory-scale simulator is the FFSim™ from Expo Process Analytics to simulate tablet press feed frames. Used by the world’s leading pharmaceutical innovators, the FFSim™ reduces API usage, speeds up process development, and enables PAT and Quality by Design approaches for blend uniformity or content uniformity.

Product highlights
