The Caleva Multi Lab (CML) incorporates a high shear mixer/granulator, an extruder and a spheronizer within a single compact and robust bench top unit. The CML can reduce the time it takes to complete trials by 50%, extrude at different densities all whilst reducing the amount of required bench-top space due to its small footprint. The smallest possible batch sizes are 10 to 50 grams (product dependant) saving on product usage and cost whilst remaining fully scalable. The extrusion attachment has a range of extruder screws and dies with different properties to be appropriate for the widest range of products and your objectives. The spheronization attachment can use a range of different disc patterns to create the optimum spheronization action for specific formulations. The time saving ability of the CML together with the wide range of options and possibilities offers research and development teams the best chance of success in their development program and the highest level of teaching efficiency in university environments.

One big challenge in formulation development is finding the balance between the material being wet enough to extrude but not too wet to spheronize. In most cases, there is an optimum amount of wetness that will work best for both processes. The Mixer Torque Rheometer does 3 basic things. Saves you time and money determining your binder ratio (the right proportion between dry powder and liquid binder) Allows you make sure your product is mixed for the optimum time (consider the effects of under and over mixing) Quality control your scheduled or active manufacturing runs to avoid major losses.

The Variable Density Extruder and Multi Bowl Spheronizer form a lab scale extrusion and spheronization system capable of producing from 50 g to 1 kg of extrudate/pellets (formulation dependent) The Variable Density Extruder allows you to increase or decrease the density of your extrudate. The extrudate quality improves dramatically as the density increases, exhibiting smoother surfaces with less breaks and voids. Depending on your formulation, the Variable Density Extruder is capable of producing from 50 g to 1.5 kg of extrudate per batch. After the material has been extruded, it can be placed into the Multi Bowl Spheronizer for spheronization. The MBS has 4 different bowl sizes available which allow it to spheronize as little at 5 grams of material with it's smallest bowl, up to 1 kilogram using its largest bowl.

In this video, we're using the Extruder 20 (E20) and the Multi Bowl Spheronizer (MBS) to create a 1 kilogram batch of pellets. The Extruder 20 is a screen extruder. It uses 2 rollers to gently push material through the screen, creating extrudate. This form of extrusion generates less heat than most other methods of extrusion, such as screw extrusion, making it ideal for a lot of pharmaceutical applications where heat generation may be an issue. After the material has been extruded, it is placed into the Multi Bowl Spheronizer for spheronization. The MBS has 4 different bowl sizes available which allow it to spheronize as little at 5 grams of material with it's smallest bowl, up to 1.5 kilograms using its largest bowl.

In the process of extrusion, having different dies available to process your product is key to increasing your chances of development success. This is why we offer a large range of dies to allow us to work with you to find the dies that best fit your formulation needs. We offer die plates that are excellent for most uses, like our 1 x 1 mm die, however sometimes a more specialist die may be needed. Our trilobe (as seen in the video) or quadrilobe dies are perfect examples of dies that have been created with a specific use in mind: increasing surface area as much as possible. These dies are especially useful in the extrusion of catalysts where a higher surface area is often key to an effective catalyst.
