Int J Pharm 2021; 606:120908.

Abstract
The feed frame is an essential device used in a rotary tablet press and it improves the performance of the powder filling process into dies. However, the feed frame affects critical quality attributes such as a tensile strength and a dissolution negatively due to a shear applied to powders from feed frame paddles, leading to over-lubrication. This effects may be significant for shear sensitive materials. The work focuses on the effect of tablet press parameters (die disk speed and feed frame speed) and mixture composition (amount of magnesium stearate) on the tensile strength and the prediction of the tensile strength by considering the extent of shear. It is found that within the investigated range of tablet press parameters and the amount of magnesium stearate, the feed frame speed and the amount of magnesium stearate have an impact on the tensile strength. Furthermore, a lubrication model based on the extent of shear is presented to predict the decreasing trend of the tensile strength of tablets during tableting process and the results demonstrate that the prediction of tensile strength is in good agreement with experimental measurements.

Development of a New Punch Head Shape to Replicate Scale-Up Issues on a Laboratory Tablet Press III: Replicating Sticking Phenomenon Using the SAS Punch and Evaluation by Checking the Tablet Surface Using 3-D Laser Scanning Microscope. J Pharm Sci 2018; 107:2144-2151. [PMID: 29684408 DOI: 10.1016/j.xphs.2018.04.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2018] [Revised: 03/31/2018] [Accepted: 04/06/2018] [Indexed: 10/17/2022]
Abstract
Sticking is a common observation in the scale-up stage on the punch tip using a commercial tableting machine. The difference in the total compression time between a laboratory tableting machine and a commercial one is considered one of the main root causes of scale-up issues in the tableting processes. The proposed "Size Adjusted for Scale-up punch" can be used to adjust the consolidation and dwell times for commercial tableting machine. As a result, the sticking phenomenon is able to be replicated at the pilot scale stage. As reported in this article, the quantification of sticking was done using a 3-D laser scanning microscope to check the tablet surface. It was shown that the sticking area decreased with the addition of magnesium stearate in the formulation, but the sticking depth was not affected by the additional amount of magnesium stearate. It is proposed that the use of a 3-D laser scanning microscope can be applied to evaluate sticking as a process analytical technology tool, and so sticking can be monitored continuously without stopping the machine.
