Milled lactose – for optimum granulation

GranuLac® and SorboLac®, milled lactose, have good compaction properties due to its small particle size. It is best granulated, wet or dry, before tablet production. It is the most frequently used excipient for granulation.

Application:

  • Wet granulation
  • Dry granulation
  • Premixes
  • Triturations
  • Fermentation
  • Flavor enhancement

Product features:

  • Good compactability
  • Good blending properties
  • Narrow particle size distribution
  • High storage stability
  • High batch-to-batch consistency

Products:

Sieved lactose – with superior blending properties.

Lactose is sieve-fractionated into various grades with a narrow particle size distribution and exhibits good flow. Sieved lactose consists of mono-crystals and agglomerates. Our product variety allows your application to be easily optimized. Due to good blending properties and excellent flowability, our products are especially suitable for powder blends, and capsule and sachet filling.

Application:

  • Capsule filling
  • Sachet filling
  • Powder blends
  • Triturations

Product features:

  • Excellent flowability
  • Narrow particle size distribution
  • Good blending properties
  • High storage stability
  • High batch-to-batch consistency

Direct compression (DC) – maximum profitability.

Direct compression is the least complex and most cost-effective alternative to traditional granulation. Because they are convenient and easy to administer, tablets are the most popular pharmaceutical dosage form. They can be produced inexpensively in large volumes. Moreover, dosing accuracy is consistent. Given the efficiencies, direct compression is becoming the preferred process for tablet manufacture by pharmaceutical companies globally. Decreased energy, labor, and capital costs as well as the increase in overall product stability are a few of the many benefits.

Few traditional excipients provide the functional characteristics, specifically powder flow and compactability, required for robust direct compression tablet manufacture. As a result, modifying traditional excipients may be necessary. This may be accomplished through spray-drying, agglomeration, roller-drying, or co-processing lactose to enhance the functional characteristics desired for directly compressed pharmaceutical dosage forms.

Sieving Inhalation

MEGGLE’s InhaLac® – high quality crystalline lactose-based excipients are specifically designed to support dry powder inhalation formulations. These sieved, milled, micronized and customized lactose monohydrate grades are available in a wide range of particle sizes and are particularly suitable for use in pulmonary and nasal drug delivery systems.

InhaLac® is tightly controlled sieved or milled lactose specifically designed and especially suited for dry powder inhalation drug delivery. InhaLac® products are available in standard forms or as customized solutions to suit your exacting needs. InhaLac® fulfills the need for excellent flowability, defined particle surface, and chemical and physical stability in dry powder inhalation drug delivery.

InhaLac® is perfect for these applications due to the extremely narrow particle size distribution. This specialized excipient is practically free of unstable, amorphous lactose.
