Publication number: 20240358646Abstract: A process for preparing a polymer-coated hard shell capsule can be performed. The hard shell capsule has a body and a cap. In the closed state the cap overlaps the body either in a pre-locked state or in a final-locked state. The hard shell capsule is provided in the pre-locked state and coated with a coating solution, suspension or dispersion that has at least one polymer; at least one glidant; at least one emulsifier; optionally at least one plasticizer; optionally at least one biologically active ingredient; and optionally at least one additive, different from the above. The process is used to obtain a coated, preferably only at the outer surface, hard shell capsule in the pre-locked state, wherein the coating solution, suspension or dispersion has a surface tension of at most 38 mN/m. The polymer-coated hard shell capsule obtained from the process is used for immediate, delayed or sustained release.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2022Publication date: October 31, 2024Applicant: Evonik Operations GmbHInventors: Hans Bär, Felix Hofmann, Steven Smith, Peter Niepoth, Rima Jaber, Bettina Hölzer

Publication number: 20230088952Abstract: A process can be used for preparing a polymer coated hard-shell capsule, filled with a fill containing a biologically active ingredient. The hard-shell capsule contains a body and a cap, and in a closed state, the cap overlaps the body either in a pre-locked state or in a final-locked state. The material of the body and the cap contains an ethyl-, methyl-, or propyl-ether of cellulose, starch, or pullulan. The hard-shell capsule is coated with a coating layer that covers the hard-shell capsule in the pre-locked state. The coating layer contains one or more (meth)acrylate copolymers, where the coating layer is present in an amount of about 1 to 5.8 mg/cm2. The process involves providing the polymer-coated hard-shell capsule in the pre-locked state to a capsule-filling machine, separating the body and the cap, filling the body with the fill, and rejoining the body and the cap in the final-locked state.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 11, 2022Publication date: March 23, 2023Applicant: Evonik Operations GmbHInventors: Vinay Jain, Ashish Guha, Shraddha Joshi, Felix Hofmann, Bettina Hölzer, Hans Bär

Publication number: 20220226865Abstract: A monitoring device of a conveying system for comminuted materials includes at least one measuring apparatus, by which at least one substance component can be detected in the comminuted materials. Further, a conveying system and a method for monitoring comminuted materials are provided. At least one monitoring region, in which the content of at least one substance component in a comminuted material can be determined by at least one measuring apparatus, while the comminuted materials are being conveyed, covers at least one portion of a conveying path of the conveying system. At least one rejection apparatus is arranged downstream of at least one monitoring region on the conveying path in the direction of conveyance of the comminuted materials. Via such a device, the comminuted materials can be rejected if the content of the at least one substance component determined by the at least one measuring apparatus exceeds a predetermined threshold value.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2020Publication date: July 21, 2022Applicant: DIEFFENBACHER GMBH MASCHINEN- UND ANLAGENBAUInventors: Jochen KAMM, Felix HOFMANN
