NCIt definition : A process that involves melting and mixing API and an excipient (generally a polymer)
using low or high shear kneading screws followed by cooling and then milling into

placed on the barrel. Materials are either premixed or fed into an extruder separately.
Melt extruder subclasses primarily are distinguished by the configuration of the screw.;
