Spheronization is the process where extrudates (the output from an extruder) are shaped into small rounded or spherical granules. In practice these usually vary in size from 0.4 to about 3.0 mm. The use of these spheroids can be relevant for a wide variety of industries.
The products produced from this process can be useful in several ways
Product performance and functionality can be improved or changed to meet a wide range of requirements
Plant procedures can be simplified, to reduce costs or enhance security of operation
The process is well known and widely used in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, catalyst, petrochemical, materials science and other industries. Its use is becoming increasingly recognized in other areas of industrial material handling.
Caleva were extremely nice and knowledgeable through presenting new technology and reliable products that achieve our client’s needs and satisfaction.

The Caleva Powder Extrusion Suite is an invaluable resource to the research at the Bernal Institute, particularly in the activities of the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Technology Centre (PMTC)
Prof. Gavin Walker University of Limerick
The system works well and is in particular attractive for us due to its ability to work with extremely small numbers of tablets. We are very satisfied.
Dr Gerhard Winter LMU Munich
We have bought Caleva Extruder, Spheronizer and coater systems in Summer 2015. We had a very good training about the instrument by Caleva. They were really flexible.
Ali Nokhodchi University of Sussex
I used the Caleva Model 20 extruder and Caleva MBS 250 spheronizer to develop a multiparticulate prednisone dosage form during my master’s studies at Rhodes University. The instrument was highly efficient and produced spherical pellets with high drug load. Furthermore, the simplified design allowed ease of operation.
