DEM simulations of particle dynamics in a spheronization process to describe the pelletization mechanisms Article Swipe
Spheronization is an important process to produce pharmaceutical pellets with a narrow particle size distribution and a homogeneous outer particle surface. Thereby, cylindrical extrudates are rounded by different pelletization mechanisms [1]. These mechanisms are highly dependent on the particle dynamics in the spheronizer. Discrete Element Method simulations of the particle motions in a spheronizer were performed to study the particle dynamics. The elastic-plastic contact model used in the simulations was calibrated by experiments with spheronized pellets. The influence of different process conditions and particle properties on the particle kinematics and interactions was analyzed. Also a comparison of the simulation results with PIV measurementswas performed.
