Food additives (Direct compression)

Saccharoses and lactoses

Unipex’ Saccharoses (Téreos) and Lactoses (Meggle) for direct compression were developed to obtain optimal hardness and direct compression profiles.  Those compressible powders reduce significantly manufacturing costs.

Direct compression of saccharose (Téréos)

• Compressuc PS:
  100 % saccharose spherical granules obtained through an innovative atomization process
  Bean-size distribution: D(v0,5): 150 to 300 µm
  Weak structure which compresses easily, without additives of 5 KN to 40 KN
  Grade USP / NF - EP – JP
• Compressuc MS:
  97 % saccharose spherical granules – 3 % Maltodextrin obtained through atomization
  Bean-size distribution: D(v0,5): 150 to 300 µm
  Excellent compressibility
  Grade USP/NF – BP
• Alvéosucre line:
  • Alvéosucre: saccharose spherical granules obtained through humid granulation of pure icing sugar
  • Dextrinated Alvéosucre: humid granulation of pure icing sugar with dehydrated glycose syrup. Allows a very strong compaction

Direct compression of monohydrated lactose (Meggle)

• The Tablettose line
  Lactose spherical granules obtained through humid granulation
  A variety of bean-size distribution (70 to 100 Mesh)
  
• Flowlac 100 and 90
  Spherical granules obtained through atomization
  Two 2 bean-size distributions: 100 and 90 Mesh
  Excellent pourability and better tablet hardness
• Compounds
  Cellactose 80: Lactose + Cellulose (80 mesh granulo)
  Microcelac 100: Lactose + Microcristaline Cellulose (100 mesh granulo)
