RCPE - Research Center Pharmaceutical Engineering

RCPE conducts cutting edge research to optimize pharmaceutical products and processes. We develop innovative drug delivery systems and the corresponding manufacturing and monitoring technologies in close cooperation with industrial and academic partners, strengthening their competitiveness and market success. 

To address key challenges in process and product design, RCPE has developed the GPU based DEM software XPS for detailed, highly flexible simulation of granular flows, which can be coupled with the CFD software AVL FIRE™ to jointly simulate granular and fluid flows. 

Continuous flow manufacturing enables safer, more consistent and efficient pharmaceutical production, improving product quality, reducing waste and scale up risks, and accelerating the delivery of high quality medicines to patients.
