Summer School 2024: Young pharmacists and pharmaceutical engineers at ENTEX
At the beginning of July 2024, Marie Kluitmann and Thomas Malzahn warmly welcomed the international group of the SummerSchool on Extrusion, jointly organized by the Technical University of Dortmund (TU DO) and the University of Lille under the direction of Dr Judith Winck and Prof Susanne Florin-Muschert. As part of the seminar week for doctoral students and postdocs at the Department of Biochemical and Chemical Engineering, the group visited ENTEX to gain an insight into planetary roller systematics.
The visit began with a brief presentation of the Planetary Roller Extruder by our process engineer and inline spectroscopy process monitoring by Dr Andreas Berghaus from ColVisTec AG – Leaders in Inline Spectroscopy AG in Berlin. To illustrate this, tests were carried out on a laboratory roller extruder L-WE 30. The aim was to present a possible set-up for embedding active ingredients in a polymer matrix.
Future seminar weeks such as the International Summer School format at the TU DO are being considered.
