Flexible, disposable photocatalytic plastic films for the destruction of viruses

Case Studies, Published Studies / By

A Rondol vertical micro extruder, equipped with a slit die, was used to produce the first flexible, very thin, photocatalytic plastic film, produced by a scalable process (extrusion), for virus inactivation. Covid19 (SARS-CoV-2), influenzas A and B and other respiratory illnesses are spread by sneezing, coughing and talking; virus particles then settle on surfaces and …

Development of a Hot-Melt-Extrusion-Based Spinning Process to Produce Pharmaceutical Fibers and Yarns

Case Studies, Published Studies / By

We are proud to share that our Rondol twin screw micro extruder can be adapted successfully to produce pharmaceutically usable fibres and yarns. Cost-effective modifications to our hot melt extruder – such as a 3D printed custom die – allow the production of high-quality fibers with a high tensile strength to be created that further …

Continuous manufacture to meet increased demand during a global pandemic: From bench to pilot scale

Published Studies / By

During pandemics and global crises, drug shortages become critical as a result of increased demand, shortages in personnel and lockdown restrictions that disrupt the supply chain. The pharmaceutical industry is therefore moving towards continuous manufacturing instead of conventional batch manufacturing involving numerous steps, that normally occur at different sites. Using Hydroxychloroquine Sulphate (HCQS) as the …
