Description: This presentation explores the principles, mechanisms, and applications of Wurster fluid-bed technology within the pharmaceutical industry. Designed to deliver uniform and controlled application of functional coatings, the Wurster process plays a critical role in modifying drug release profiles, enhancing product stability, and masking taste.
This presentation covers the fundamental components of the Wurster system, its critical operating parameters, and essential formulation factors that impact coating efficiency and overall product performance. Through real-world case studies and practical optimization strategies, we’ll demonstrate the versatility of this technology across a range of dosage forms, including pellets, granules, and multiparticulate systems.
Providing valuable insights into leveraging Wurster technology for consistent, scalable, and regulatory-compliant pharmaceutical production.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the core principles and components of Wurster fluid-bed technology and how they contribute to uniform and controlled functional coating in pharmaceutical applications.
  • Identify key process parameters and formulation considerations that influence coating efficiency, drug release profiles, and overall product performance.
  • Analyze real-world case studies and optimization strategies to effectively apply Wurster technology across various dosage forms in a scalable and regulatory-compliant manufacturing environment.
