At Enem Nostrum our new product development program generally includes literature surveys, pre-formulation studies, compatibility studies, analytical method development and validation, formulation development and optimization, formal stability studies, and manufacturing process development according to international Guidelines.

• V-Blender with Intensifier Bar (Patterson Kelley Co. USA)

0.5 quart to 16 quart (about 0.5 Liters to 15 Liters working capacity) V-Blenders equipped with high-speed intensifier bars (or lump breakers) along with spray mechanism for liquid addition.

• Breaking of agglomerates in the charge material facilitating precise blending uniformity specifically for low dose drugs.
• Ability to accomplish dry as well as wet mixing.
• Suitability for mixing of cohesive powders, fine as well as course particle compositions

• Dry granulation with Roller Compaction

Roller compactor with an Output (Kgs / Hr): 2 to 5. Improves powder flow properties, avoid wet granulation induced degradation, improve product stability, prevent segregation and reduce bulk volume.

• Wet Granulation with High Shear Mixer Granulators

Rapid Mixer Granulator capacity: 10 Liters

• Main Impeller unique design maximizes micro-mixing of ingredients by effecting optimal diffusion, convection & shears irrespective of varying bulk densities, both during dry & wet mixing.
• Accurate inference for end-point detection with Amperage meter
• Unique Design of Chopper: Ensure effective de-lumping of oversized agglomerates distribution of binder fluid and ideal compaction of granules.
