Twin screws transport the wet material to the extrusion zone where it is wiped through the perforated axial die plate to produce well-formed cylindrical extrudates of a controlled diameter. Extrudates then break by their own weight and are collected for the next processing step.
LCI’s low pressure extrusion systems are extensively used to produce extruded pesticides in the form of Water Dispersible Granules (WDG) and Water Soluble Granules (WSG).
LCI's low pressure extrusion systems in conjunction with our spheronization systems are used to produce high API drug pellets.
