Unique technology for bulk material flow simulation

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

EDEM® - the unique technology specifically developed for simulating bulk materials flow, is changing the way pharmaceutical process engineers approach the design, optimization and control of solid dose manufacturing operations.

EDEM software has been engineered to be a sophisticated, fully customizable CAE tool capable of simulating and analyzing physical properties, flow behavior and equipment interaction with granular materials used in the research, development and production of powders, tablets, capsules and dry powder inhalers.

EDEM improves your capability to design processes that deliver the desired product quality:  

  • Create virtual prototypes of equipment and particles
  • Analyze particle-particle interactions as well as particle-equipment interactions 
  • Assess the effects of formulation changes on equipment performance
  • Optimize the performance of equipment for each formulation, achieving greater flexibility and equipment utilization
  • Virtually test and evaluate the design of new equipment for better performance, at bench and full-scale

 

EDEM In Action


Coating of Pharmaceutical Tablets

The Challenge: Determine the coater configuration for the particular shaped tablet that will minimize excessive variation in Intra-particle coating thickness.



The Result: Analysis of the position, orientation and residence time of tablets in the spray zone identified effects of changes to operating parameters - helping to produce tablets that meet regulatory requirements.
