Applications

Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs)

Active Pharmaceutical ingredients (APIS) are biologically active components found in a wide array of medications. They are synthesized in laboratories and due to the strict quality requirements of such products, they require strict particle size control. Particle size of APIs can affect solubility of the product and product integrity is of the utmost importance. Sieving and classifying APIs on a conventional screener, while commonplace, is a painstaking task due to the fine particle size of the powder and its moisture sensitivity. Furthermore, the processing must be done in a way that ensure only the highest product integrity making many screen cleaning devices like balls and sliders unusable. For finer separations, ultrasonic sieving machines may be employed, but these systems struggle at finer meshes and result in low efficiencies and have a very high operating cost associated with them.

Contract Manufacturing Experience

Elcan Industries has successfully sieved active pharmaceutical ingredients using both the Hi-Sifter sieving machine and Elbow Jet air classifier. The Hi-Sifter is constructed of polished stainless steel and requires no screen cleaning devices nor ultrasonics to make separations making it ideal for the pharmaceutical industry. The system employs a strong vertical energy directly into the screening surface, which allows for separations down to 10 microns. Using the Elbow Jet Air Classifier, multiple separations below ten microns are achievable. The Elbow Jet is the only air classifier capable of simultaneous, multiple classification meaning that companies can achieve a 10 micron over 2 micron product in a single pass.
