Quadro Engineering is active in many areas relating to the pharmaceutical OSD manufacturing processes, including:
As an industry leader in milling and powder processing technology, we provide unparalleled particle processing efficiencies, enabling pharmaceutical customers to deliver more of their valuable product on target and manufacture it with higher capacities.
We improve our customers’ profitability by helping to reduce waste and rework, saving not only expensive ingredients but also manufacturing time. We aim to improve product quality by ensuring that the OSD powder is correctly conditioned so that it is successfully compressed into tablets.
We understand how the Particle Size Distribution (PSD) and bulk density of powders impact flowability to the tablet press and subsequent dissolution rate & bioavailability of the finished tablet.
The ability to produce a tight particle size distribution suitable for compaction and dissolution is dependent upon selecting the right technology for the application, whether that be:
and controlling the equipment elements:
In addition, we offer equipment that will carefully handle heat-sensitive products so that they are not degraded in the milling or screening process.
Wet mass conditioning is a key application of our mills and has been proven to be vital to creating a quality final tablet.
We have extensive expertise, which has been gained from over 10,000 installations around the world, in addition to the thousands of customers we have assisted over the years - both Fortune 500 and small independents.
We recommend that our R&D Test Center conduct proof of concept testing on our fleet of equipment for testing at your own premises over a longer period of time.
We offer our own training programs, which are ideal to send new starters on to learn about milling and particle processing. We are also proud to sponsor and contribute to industry initiatives and academic support, often presenting Papers at Conferences.
The support team you will have access to comprises our worldwide Process & Application Specialists who are ready to help optimize your system and solve your powder processing problems.
Our Sales, Engineering, and Aftermarket support comes not just from Head Office in Canada, but also from our physical presence in strategically important regions that make sure you not only get the ideal system but can maintain it in tip-top condition.
Our equipment solutions provide proven scalability, helping you transfer results and parameters from lab-scale to production-sized equipment with repeatable and reproducible PSD and capacity targets, thereby reducing development time and launch costs.
Over the past several decades, we have been involved in a variety of industries, in addition to pharma, including:
We are happy to discuss your manufacturing concerns and offer our advice. For more best practices on Milling Technology, Particle Processing,, and Particle Size Reduction, please visit our knowledge base page.
