Harro Höfliger Virtual Pharma Expo September 2026: Oral Solid Dose Manufacturing & Packaging

Traditional capsule development often demands multi-step formulation, wet or dry granulation, and blending to ensure uniform powder flow. Bypassing these steps through direct active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) capsule filling reduces process complexity, limits material consumption, and shortens clinical development timelines. Success depends entirely on evaluating powder characteristics—such as flowability, cohesiveness, and bulk density—before selecting a dosing technology. Volumetric drum dosing provides a precise approach for challenging, low-dose, or highly potent powders by filling defined cavities directly before capsule release. Integrated mass verification systems deliver 100% net weight control under containment conditions, protecting operators while ensuring dosing accuracy. Aligning equipment selection directly with powder behavior streamlines scale-up from benchtop feasibility testing to high-speed commercial production. Access the full presentation to explore how direct API filling can streamline your drug development strategy.
