HOT MELT EXTRUSION SYSTEMS (HMES)

A Reliable Processing Technology in Pharma Compounding

Hot Melt Extrusion (HME) is a proven technology in developing molecular dispersions of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) into polymer and lipid matrices. The technology involves achieving a homogenous solid dispersion or solution by mixing and/or melting API with one or more excipients such as polymers, lipids, surfactants, diluents, lubricants, glidants, plasticizers and other modifiers for the purpose of stabilization, bioavailability enhancement, controlled release or taste masking and improved delivery especially in oral and trans-dermal systems.

STEER HMES is a complete system with its core unit 'Hot Melt Extruder' having screw elements and barrel and integrated with both upstream and downstream components that includes feeders, chill roll units, pelletizers and flakers.
We offer machines from research scale to production scale machines and for a variety of pharmaceutical products and formulations. Our HMES are manufactured to achieve high level of efficiency in throughput and crafted to offer ease of use and low downtime during product change over.
High torque gear box, precise control over process parameters, ease of cleaning and validation are some of the key features of STEER's full scale production processors and the quality of the product through our HME technology is the best in class.
The option of changing process sections with many different Do/Di ratios to vary the shear rate makes STEER HMES, the best choice for pharmaceutical applications.
Several of our HMEs are helping customers meet their objectives for as long as 12+ years and for a variety of applications.
Various Models
HMES comes in various models which allows you to customize based on your operational and manufacturing needs.
