Simulating Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Processes with EDEM

This webinar emphases on pharmaceutical mfg. the process which mainly deals with powders and their interactions with equipment. Powders are a fundamental material used widely in the process industries including pharmaceutical, food, chemicals, cosmetics, and additive manufacturing. Powders are involved in a range of applications from storage, transportation, and delivery to processing stages such as mixing, compaction, or agglomeration. When simulating powder handling processes, EDEM can help identify the root of the problem and serve as a virtual prototyping tool to test potential solutions and improve understanding of processes. In addition, the fundamental insight that EDEM provides into the micro-mechanics of granular systems can be used to meet otherwise difficult challenges, such as process scale-up and the transition to continuous manufacturing. This has made EDEM an indispensable tool for optimizing process design and operation in the powder processing industries.

This 45mins webinar will cover: 

• Context and Challenges
