AMCELL®
microcrystalline cellulose
At Amster Microcell, we pride ourselves on producing superior Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) powder, a versatile excipient used widely in the pharmaceutical industry. Our MCC powder is derived from high-quality cellulose sources, ensuring exceptional purity and performance. With excellent binding properties and a high degree of compressibility, our MCC powder is ideal for tablet formulation, providing optimal tablet hardness and uniformity.
Our commitment to quality is reflected in our state-of-the-art manufacturing processes and rigorous quality control measures. Utilizing advanced technology and stringent testing, we ensure that each batch of MCC powder meets the highest standards of purity and consistency. Our product is not only reliable but also customizable to meet specific customer requirements, making Amster Microcell a trusted partner for pharmaceutical companies worldwide.
MCCP conforms to international standards, including USP/NF, Ph.Eur., JP, and BP. Our MCCP is available in various grades to meet the specific needs of different applications.
PHARMACEUTICALS
As a binder and disintegrant in tablet and capsule formulations, MCCP enhances mechanical strength and ensures rapid disintegration of tablets. Approximately 60% of direct compression tablet formulations include MCCP due to its superior binding properties.FOOD INDUSTRY
Functions as a texturizer, anti-caking agent, and fat substitute, improving the consistency and stability of food products. It is commonly found in low-fat and reduced-calorie foods, with usage in approximately 35% of processed foods.COSMETICS
Acts as a thickener, stabilizer, and absorbent, improving the texture and stability of cosmetic and personal care products. MCCP is a key ingredient in 50% of skincare and beauty products.Advantages of Spray Drying for MCCP
Consistent Quality & Flowability
Spray drying produces MCCP with uniform particle size and spherical shape, enhancing flow properties. This results in easier handling and processing during tablet manufacturing, ensuring reliable and repeatable tablet properties. The consistency in particle morphology contributes to optimal compaction and dissolution profiles.
Superior Compressibility & Homogeneity
The spray drying process enhances MCCP compressibility, allowing for robust tablets with excellent hardness and low friability. It also ensures homogeneous particle distribution, leading to consistent product performance. This uniformity in particle characteristics supports predictable and efficient tablet production.
Precise Moisture Control & Scalability
Spray drying allows precise control over moisture content, ensuring product stability and preventing moisture-related issues. Additionally, the process is highly scalable and reproducible, guaranteeing consistent quality across large production batches. This scalability ensures that production can meet varying market demands without compromising quality.
Gear
hobbin
Hobbing is a versatile machining process used to cut gear features on both metal and non-metal parts. By employing a cutting tool called a hob, gear teeth (or splines) are incrementally formed into a cylindrical workpiece. Hobbing enables the creation of a wide range of gear shapes and sizes, including spur gears, worm gears, and bevel gears.
