Extruder is widely used for making pellets of different sizes starting from minimum 400 microns to maximum 2000 microns. Extruder gives mild compaction and is ideal for most of the Pharmaceutical formulation related to pelletization. The function of a spheronizer is to convert extrudes into spheroids. Spheronization is the necessary second step of granulation by extrusion – Spheronization process where pharmaceutical products are made into small spheres or spheroids activate the machine and load the Pre-formulated wet mass into the feed funnel(Hopper). The material is forced through the extrusion chamber to cone mesh by axial force of Counter rotating screws. Conical pressing roller forces the material through the perforations of Single cone mesh and the extrudes formed.
