Frontida’s Duragran® process allows us to create controlled release beadlets / granules of uniform and narrow particle size range without the use of spheronization / extrusion equipment or the need to layer product onto a uniform sized sugar bead. The patented process creates granules of more uniform particle size than a standard wet granulation process with easily modified process parameters that can be used to target a desired particle size. The technology can be applied to controlled release formulations and to create taste-masked, orally disintegrating tablet formulations.
The benefits of the patented process are a reduction in the number of process steps and time needed to create a defined granule particle size distribution range. Production costs, energy requirements and Quality Unit in-process monitoring can all be reduced by employing this technology.
