WO 2012/054810 PCT/US2011/057233 MANUFACTURING OF SMALL FILM STRIPS Field of the Invention The present invention relates to methods for forming films. In particular, the present invention relates to the formation of films, in particular, small film strips, on a substrate via 5 the use of individual pumps. Background of the Invention The use of films for the administration of active agents, such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetic and other materials, is becoming increasingly popular. Such films should have a fairly uniform size, and a substantially uniform distribution of components. The substantially 10 uniform distribution of components is quite important when the films include pharmaceutical components, to ensure accurate dosages. Films may be formed in any desired fashion, and in some cases it may be useful to form a film on the surface of a substrate. The use of a substrate to form film not only provides ease in processing but may also aid in packaging the film products. Typically, a wet film-forming 15 matrix is deposited onto the surface of a substrate, and then dried to form the resulting film, which is then sized and cut into individual film strip products. Unfortunately, however, such typical processes result in a great deal of wasted film due to the sizing and cutting process. Further, traditional processing methods use one pumping mechanism with multiple slot dies or other orifices. Such methods have a tendency to dispense a wet film forming matrix 20 unevenly through orifices, giving irregular and non-uniform dosages. In addition, in the case of film matrices having a high solid or particle content, the orifices may have a tendency to become blocked. The use of one pumping mechanism for multiple orifices may not provide enough pressure to release the blocked orifice, resulting in certain orifices dispensing higher amounts of the film-forming matrix. Thus, the end result of such traditional processing is a 25 potential for uneven dosaging and products that lack compositional uniformity. 1 WO 2012/054810 PCT/US20111/057233 The present invention seeks to solve the problems incurred with traditional film processing, such as by providing a method that continuously produces film products without the need for sizing the film products, while at the same time providing uniform film dosages. Summary of the Invention 5 In one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method of forming a plurality of individual film products, including the steps of: (a) providing a reservoir housing a film forming matrix; (b) providing a plurality of individual volumetric pumps in association with the reservoir; (c) providing a plurality of orifices, where each orifice is associated with an individual volumetric pump; (d) feeding the film forming matrix from the reservoir to the 10 individual volumetric pumps; (e) dispensing a predetermined amount of the film forming matrix from each of the volumetric pumps through an orifice associated therewith; and (f) extruding an individual wet film product onto a substrate. Other embodiments of the present invention may provide a method of forming a plurality of individual film strips, including the steps of: (a) providing a reservoir housing a film forming 15 matrix; (b) providing a plurality of individual metering pumps in association with the reservoir; (c) providing a plurality of orifices, where each orifice is associated with an individual metering pump; (d) feeding the film forming matrix from the reservoir to the plurality of individual metering pumps; (e) dispensing a predetermined amount of the film forming matrix from each of the metering pumps through an orifice associated therewith; and 20 (f) extruding an individual wet film strip through the orifice onto a substrate.

Figure 2 is a depiction of a second embodiment of the present invention that is capable of 20 forming individual film strips. Figures 3A and 3B are depictions of film patches formed by an alternate embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 is a depiction of a further embodiment of the present invention that is capable of forming a substrate and a plurality of individual film products on the surface of the substrate. 25 3 WO 2012/054810 PCT/US20111/057233 Detailed Description of the Invention The present invention relates to methods and apparatuses designed for forming film products, including film products that include at least one active composition. Specifically, the invention relates to methods of forming film products on a substrate, while maintaining the 5 uniformity of content and the structural integrity of the individual film product. Further, the invention provides a method and apparatus for forming film products that minimizes the amount of waste typically required in film processing. Film systems embody a field of technology that has major advantages in areas of administering drug, medicament, and various other active and agent delivery systems to an individual in need thereof. In order to 10 provide a desirable final product that exhibits advantageous characteristics and desirable properties, including uniformity of content, the processing and manufacturing of film strips and film technology is technologically demanding and cumbersome. As used herein, the terms "pharmaceutical", "medicament", "drug" and "active" may be used interchangeably, and refer to a substance or composition useful for the prevention or 15 treatment of a condition. The terms may include pharmaceuticals, neutraceuticals, cosmetic agents, biologic agents, bioeffective substances, and the like. It will be understood that the term "film" includes delivery systems of any thickness, including films and film strips, sheets, discs, wafers, and the like, in any shape, including rectangular, square, or other desired shape. The film may be in the form of a continuous roll 20 of film or may be sized to a desired length and width. The films described herein may be any desired thickness and size suitable for the intended use. For example, a film of the present invention may be sized such that it may be placed into the oral cavity of the user. Other films may be sized for application to the skin of the user, i.e., a topical use. For example, some films may have a relatively thin thickness of from about 0.1 to about 10 mils, while others 25 may have a somewhat thicker thickness of from about 10 to about 30 mils. For some films, 4 WO 2012/054810 PCT/US20111/057233 especially those intended for topical use, the thickness may be even larger, i.e., greater than about 30 mils. In addition, the term "film" includes single-layer compositions as well as multi-layer compositions, such as laminated films, coatings on films and the like. The composition in its dried film form maintains a uniform distribution of components through 5 the processing of the film. Films may include a pouch or region of medicament between two films. The term "patch" as used herein is intended to include multi-layered film products, where the first layer (or "backing layer") is a film product that has a slower rate of dissolution than the second layer (or "active layer"). Patches described herein generally include the first and 10 second layers adhered or laminated to each other, where the second layer has a smaller length and/or width of the first layer, such that at least a portion of the surface of the first layer is visible outside of the second layer (including, but not limited to, the design shown in Figure 3B and described in further detail herein). Films formed by the present invention may be suitable for administration to at least one 15 region of the body of the user, such as mucosal regions or regions within the body of the user, such as on the surface of internal organs. In some embodiments of the invention, the films are intended for oral administration. In other embodiments, the films are intended for topical administration. As used herein, the term "topical agent" is meant to encompass active agents that are applied to a particular surface area. For example, in one embodiment, a topical agent 20 is applied to an area of the skin. In other embodiments, the topical agent may also be applied to mucosal areas of the body, such as the oral (e.g., buccal, sublingual, tongue), vaginal, ocular and anal areas of the body. In still other embodiments, the topical agent is applied to an internal organ or other body surface of the user, such as during surgery, where the agent may be removed or left within the body after surgery is complete. In other embodiments, a 25 topical agent is applied to a hard surface, such as a particular surface area in need of 5 WO 2012/054810 PCT/US20111/057233 treatment. In other embodiments, the films of the present invention are ingestible, and are intended to be placed in the mouth of the user and swallowed as the film disintegrates. The medicament may be dispersed throughout the film, or it may be deposited onto one or more surfaces of the film. In either way, it is desirable that the amount of medicament per 5 unit area is substantially uniform throughout the film. The "unit area" is intended to include a suitable unit area, such as the area of one typical dosage unit. It is desired that the films of the present invention include a uniformity of component distribution throughout the volume of a given film. Such uniformity includes a substantially uniform amount of medicament per unit volume of the film, whether the medicament is within the matrix of the film or coated, 10 laminated, or stabilized on one or more surfaces thereof. When such films are cut into individual units, the amount of the agent in the unit can be known with a great deal of accuracy. For the films formed herein, it is understood by one of ordinary skill in the art that the resulting film is not required to be exactly 100% uniform. All that is required is that the film be "substantially uniform", i.e., a slight amount of non-uniformity is understood to be 15 acceptable. "Substantially uniform" may include, for example, a film that is about 90% uniform in content from one region of the film to another, or a film that is about 95% uniform in content from one region of the film to another, and most desirably about 99% uniform in content from one region of the film to another. It is desirable that any individual film products formed by the present invention (i.e., products 20 having a substantially similar mass and volume) be substantially uniform in content with respect to each other. That is, the individual film products (including individual dosages of approximately equal sizes) formed by the present invention should have approximately the same content composition as each other film product. Of course, it will be understood that some deviation is to be expected during the manufacturing process, but desirably the 25 individual film products should be at least 90% uniform in content with respect to each other. 6 WO 2012/054810 PCT/US20111/057233 In other words, "substantially uniform" may mean that individual film products should vary by no more than about 10% with respect to each other. In some embodiments, "substantially uniform" may mean that individual film products should vary by no more than about 5% with respect to each other. 5 Uniformity of medicament throughout the film is important in administering an accurate and effective dose of medicament to a user. Various methods of forming uniform films, as well as various polymers, additives and fillers, may be used, including those methods and materials described in U.S. Patent Nos. 7,425,292, 7,357,891 and 7,666,337, which are herein incorporated by reference in their entireties. Any number of active components or 10 pharmaceutical agents may be included in the films discussed herein. The active component(s) may be disposed within any layer of film products formed herein or they may be placed onto one or more surfaces of the film products.

The pharmaceutically active agents employed in the present invention may include allergens 10 or antigens, such as, but not limited to, plant pollens from grasses, trees, or ragweed; animal danders, which are tiny scales shed from the skin and hair of cats and other furred animals; insects, such as house dust mites, bees, and wasps; and drugs, such as penicillin. In one particular method of forming a film, a wet film matrix is deposited onto the surface of a substrate. Any desired substrate may be used, including, for example, mylar, paper, plastic, 15 metal, foil, and combinations thereof. The substrate may be laminated if desired. Further, the substrate may be chemically treated on one or more surfaces prior to depositing the wet film matrix thereon. Desirably, the substrate is substantially flat, but is flexible to allow for rolling, such as for storage or for packaging of the formed film products. The substrate may include one or more dams, such as that disclosed in Applicant's co-pending U.S. Patent 20 Application Serial No. 12/711,883, filed February 24, 2010, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference herein. In some embodiments, the substrate may include a pre formed sheet of dissolvable and/or ingestible film, where the wet film-forming matrix is deposited onto the sheet, providing a multi-layered film product. In still other embodiments, the substrate may include a plurality of pre-formed film products on its surface, and the wet 25 film matrix is deposited onto the surface of the pre-formed film products. 30 WO 2012/054810 PCT/US20111/057233 The substrate may have any length and width desired, depending on the size of the apparatus used to process the film. The length of the substrate is not critical, since the substrate may generally be fed into the film-forming apparatus on a continuous basis and sized by the user accordingly. The width of the substrate is sized to be fed into the apparatus used, and may 5 vary as desired. The width of the substrate typically determines the width of the film product that can be prepared on that substrate. For example, a plurality of film strips or individual film products may be prepared on the substrate, arranged in a substantially side-by-side manner, and the cumulative width of those film strips or products dictates the desired width of the substrate. It is typical then that the batch size determines the cumulative width of the 10 film, which in turn determines the optimum width of the substrate. The width of the individual film strips or products may be relatively small, for example, ranging from about 2 mm to about 30 mm. The width of individual film strips may be from about 2 mm to about 10 mm, or from about 10 mm to about 20 mm. It may, in some instances, be desired that the individual film strips include a width that is greater than 30 mm. It should be understood that 15 the "width of the individual film strips" is intended to be an average width, and there may be some variation between individual film strips formed via the present invention. There may be deposited on the substrate any number of individual film strips or products. In some embodiments, there may be deposited between about 2 to about 30 individual film strips or products on a substrate, the film strips or products arranged in a substantially side 20 by-side fashion with a gap separating adjacent film strips. In some embodiments, there may be between about 10 to about 20 individual film strips or products on a substrate. It may be desired, for example, during a test run or other experimental procedure, that only one film strip or product be deposited on the substrate. Desirably, the width of the substrate is at least 1 inch wider than the cumulative width of the dried film strips or products and any gaps 25 therebetween. Having a substrate wider than the cumulative width of the dried film strips or 31 WO 2012/054810 PCT/US20111/057233 products and gaps therebetween is useful in processing the product(s), as it allows some tolerance during the process. In use, a wet film-forming matrix is deposited onto the top surface of the substrate, as will be described in further detail below. In a preferred embodiment, the wet matrix is deposited 5 onto the substrate via extrusion, however, the wet matrix may be deposited onto the substrate via any means desired, including coating, casting, spraying, or other means. The wet matrix may be deposited in one continuous strip or stripe, which results in a dried film stripe, and which is then capable of being cut into several smaller individual dosages. Alternatively, the wet matrix may be deposited in discrete amounts, such that the deposited wet matrix has a 10 width and length that is capable of being dried to form an individual film product having the desired width and length. Once deposited on the surface of the substrate, the deposited wet matrix may be dried through any desired drying means, including but not limited to those methods set forth in the patents and applications previously incorporated by reference above. For example, the film matrix 15 may be rapidly dried in an oven so as to provide a viscoelastic mass within the first about 0.5 to about 4.0 minutes, thus "locking in" the components of the film forming matrix. The resulting viscoelastic mass may then be further dried to provide the final film product. One benefit of drying a film product on the surface of a substrate is that the film may be dried quickly and efficiently, resulting in a film that has a substantially flat form. Further, the film 20 may become adhered to the surface of the substrate during drying, which aids in packaging and dispensing the end product. If desired, the resulting dried film product and the substrate upon which it has been deposited may be die cut and packaged together, thereby minimizing the requirement to remove the film product from the substrate prior to packaging. It may be desirable, for example, for the film product to remain adhered to the substrate, and the film 25 product/substrate product be provided to an end user. For example, the present method may 32 WO 2012/054810 PCT/US20111/057233 be useful in forming a continuous stripe of film product, which may be rolled and dispensed through an apparatus such as that described in Applicant's co-pending application, U.S. Patent Application No. 12/711,899, filed on February 24, 2010, entitled "Device And System For Determining, Preparing And Administering Therapeutically Effective Doses", the entire 5 contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. With reference to the Figures, the present invention provides a system and method for efficiently and continuously producing film products, especially individual film products or film stripes, with minimal waste. The film products formed through the present invention provide high content uniformity and therefore provide film products having highly accurate 10 dosages. In one embodiment set forth in Figure 1, a film forming apparatus 10 is provided. The film forming apparatus 10 includes a substrate 20. As explained above, the substrate may be formed from any desired materials, including, for example, mylar, paper, plastic, metal, foil, and combinations thereof. The substrate 20 may be laminated if desired. Further, the substrate 20 may be chemically treated prior to depositing a wet film matrix thereon. 15 Desirably, the substrate 20 is substantially flat, but is flexible to allow for rolling. In some embodiments, the substrate 20 may include a pre-formed sheet of film (such as an ingestible film or other biocompatible film product that may be applied to one or more body surfaces). The pre-formed sheet of film may be self-supporting and fed through the apparatus, or it may be pre-formed onto another substrate, whereby both are fed through the 20 apparatus. The substrate 20 includes a top surface and a bottom surface (not shown). In this embodiment, a wet film matrix is capable of being deposited onto the top surface of the substrate 20. In embodiments where the substrate 20 is a pre-formed sheet of film, the deposition of a wet film forming matrix thereon provides a multi-layered film product, where the pre-formed film is a first layer (or "backing layer"), and the deposited film forming 25 matrix forms a second layer (or "active layer"). It may be useful that the first layer not 33 WO 2012/054810 PCT/US20111/057233 include an active, while the second layer includes an active, although both layers may include an active. The resulting multi-layered film may then be sized and cut to provide individual multi-layered film products. In still other embodiments, the substrate 20 may be a sheet of a non-ingestible product (i.e., 5 paper, mylar, etc.), which includes on its top surface a plurality of pre-formed ingestible film products formed thereon. In this embodiment, a wet film matrix may be deposited onto the top surface of the pre-formed film products. This embodiment forms a multi-layered film product without the need for further sizing or cutting the multi-layered film products. In further embodiments, described in further detail below, the apparatus 10 may include a means 10 for forming a first layer of film product on the top surface of the substrate 20 prior to depositing a second layer (or layers) of film product onto the deposited first layer of film product. The substrate 20 may be stored as a continuous roll of substrate 20 prior to use. In use, the first end (not shown) of the substrate 20 is fed into the apparatus 10 in the direction 15 designated by arrow A. During use, the substrate 20 may continuously travel in the direction A, during which time a wet film matrix is deposited onto the top surface of substrate 20, and led along the direction A during the drying process, as will be described in further detail below. The substrate 20 may travel at any desired rate of speed. The rate at which the substrate 20 travels may be altered as necessary to suit the drying needs of the film-forming 20 material in view of the desired oven temperature. For example, if a longer drying time is desired, the substrate 20 may travel at a slower rate of speed through the apparatus 10. If a shorter drying time is required, the substrate 20 may travel at a higher rate of speed through the apparatus 10. In addition, in some embodiments, the rate of speed may control the thickness of the wet film products deposited thereon. For example, in an extrusion process, a 34 WO 2012/054810 PCT/US20111/057233 faster rate of speed of the substrate 20 may result in a thinner wet film product deposited thereon, and vice versa. The substrate 20 may be any desired length or width, as explained above. Desirably, the width of the substrate 20 is sufficient to allow the deposition of a plurality of individual film 5 products arranged in a substantially side-by-side pattern. For example, the substrate 20 may be wide enough to allow deposition of between about 2 to about 30 individual film products, arranged substantially side-by-side. The individual film products may have a gap between adjacent film strips, so as to allow for easier processing and distribution. The apparatus 10 includes a reservoir 30, designed to house a predetermined amount of film 10 forming matrix. The film forming matrix includes any desired film forming components, including, for example, polymers, solvents, sweeteners, active agents, fillers, and the like. Useful components for a film forming matrix include those disclosed in U.S. Publication No. 2005/0037055, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein in entirety. The reservoir 30 may include more than one separate housings or compartments to store the 15 various components of the film forming matrix. For example, it may be desired to store the active component in a separate container than solvents or polymers until immediately prior to deposition onto the substrate 20. The reservoir 30 is preferably pressurized, such that it may effectively force the film forming matrix housed therein through the apparatus 10. In some embodiments, the apparatus 10 is capable of extruding a film forming matrix, as will 20 be explained in further detail below. In such embodiments, it may be desired that the film forming matrix have a high viscosity and/or a high solids content. For example, the film forming matrix may include at least 30% solids content, or it may include at least 25% solids content, or alternatively, it may include at least 20% solids content. In other embodiments, the matrix may be a slurry or suspension of solids in a fluid carrier. The apparatus 10 and 25 methods described herein allows for processing of such a film forming matrix having a high 35 WO 2012/054810 PCT/US20111/057233 solid content without fear of clogs or blockages in the system. Alternatively, the film forming matrix may have a low solid content, and may have a lower viscosity, if desired. It is preferable that the film-forming matrix have a sufficient viscosity so as to generally maintain its shape upon disposition onto the surface of the substrate 20. 5 Attached to the reservoir 30 is a feed line or tube 40, which is in fluid connection with the reservoir 30 and connects the reservoir 30 to a plurality of volumetric pumps 50, 50'. The feed line 40 may be made of any desired material, and may have any thickness or radius desired. It is preferable that the feed line 40 have a sufficient radius so as to effectively transport the film forming matrix from the reservoir 30 to the volumetric pumps 50 without 10 blockage, clogging, or exhibiting a sufficient pressure drop as to insufficiently supply material to the pumps. The apparatus 10 may include any number of volumetric pumps 50 desired, depending upon the number of individual film products that the user wishes to produce. In one embodiment, each volumetric pump 50 in the apparatus 10 will be used to form film products, and thus the number of volumetric pumps 50 used may dictate the 15 number of film products formed. The volumetric pumps 50 are desirably arranged in a side by-side pattern in the apparatus 10. The feed line 40 desirably feeds the film forming matrix from the reservoir 30 to the volumetric pumps 50 in a parallel fashion, thus allowing each volumetric pump 50 to be fed with the film forming matrix on a substantially equal basis. The volumetric pumps 50 may be any type of pumping apparatus desired by the user. 20 Desirably, the volumetric pumps 50 are each of approximately equal size and shape, and are capable of dispensing substantially the same amount of film forming matrix therefrom. It is particularly desired to use a pump 50 that is capable of dispensing a known amount of matrix per each pumping cycle. Further, the pump 50 should be capable of being re-filled with film forming matrix after a pre-determined amount of film forming matrix has been dispensed via 25 pumping. In particular, it is desired that the pump 50 be re-filled with substantially the same 36 WO 2012/054810 PCT/US20111/057233 amount of film-forming matrix after each pumping cycle. Thus, each pumping cycle (which includes one dispensing of film forming matrix and one re-filling of film forming matrix) should include a substantially constant amount of film forming matrix. As can be understood, regardless of the type of pump used, it is important that the pumps 50 provide an 5 accurate and consistent dispense of the wet film matrix, so as to ensure substantial uniformity between and among each of the resulting film products. In one embodiment, the volumetric pumps 50 are piston pumps. If desired, the volumetric pumps 50 may include dual piston pumps, where, as the pump 50 dispenses the volume of film-forming matrix, the pump 50 concurrently is re-filled with another volume of film 10 forming matrix. In other embodiments, the volumetric pumps 50 may include gear pumps. For formation of film-containing patches, dual piston pumps are particularly desired. The apparatus 10 may include a combination of at least one piston pump, at least one dual piston pump, at least one gear pump, and combinations thereof. Piston pumps and dual piston pumps are especially preferred, since such pumps have "suck back" capability and are thus 15 able to prevent or reduce the amount of drool after the wet film matrix has been pumped therefrom. Further, piston pumps and dual piston pumps provide the ability to continuously load and extrude the wet film forming matrix as the substrate 20 moves. These pumps are efficient and further avoid the requirement of having a head manifold move back and forth, as in typical systems. 20 In some embodiments, the volumetric pumps 50 may have variable stroke and/or variable speed settings. That is, the volumetric pumps 50 may have a variable stroke, allowing the user to be able to change the stroke associated with the pump 50 to suit the particular needs. In some embodiments, the volumetric pumps 50 may dispense anywhere from about 4 microliters per stroke to about 100 microliters per stroke. Further, the volumetric pumps 50 25 may be variable speed pumps, to allow the user to set the particular speed desired for the 37 WO 2012/054810 PCT/US20111/057233 particular film product being formed. For example, if a longer drying time is desired by the user, the volumetric pump 50 may be set to a slower dispensing speed, allowing for a longer process and thus a longer drying time. Alternatively, for a shorter drying time, a higher speed pump may be desired. The speed and stroke of the volumetric pumps 50 may be related to 5 the speed at which the substrate 20 travels through the apparatus 10. The volumetric pumps 50 used herein should be sized appropriately to provide the desired film volume. In particular, the volumetric pumps 50 should be sized to fill and dispense sufficient amount of film forming matrix to form one individual film product having the desired volume. For example, in one embodiment, the desired resultant dried individual film 10 product may be about I mg to about 20 mg in total weight. In some embodiments, the dried individual film product may be 60 mg in total weight or less. It is to be understood that the weight of a wet film product will be higher than the resulting dried film product, due to loss of certain volatiles. The volumetric pumps 50 should be capable of dispensing about 3 microliters to about 250 microliters per pumping cycle, or alternatively 250 microliters or less 15 per pumping cycle. For transdermal systems, the desired resultant individual dried film product may be about 10 mg to about 2000 mg in total weight. Thus, the volumetric pumps 50 should be capable of dispensing about 30 microliters to about 10 milliliters per pumping cycle to provide the desired resulting dried film weight. In another embodiment, the volumetric pump 50 can be a positive displacement pump. 20 Examples include a progressive cavity pump also known as a progressing cavity pump, eccentric screw pump or even just cavity pump. One specific example of this type of pump is the Moyno@ pump (manufactured by Moyno, Inc.). Additional positive displacement pumps include gear pumps, rotary lobe pumps, piston pumps, diaphragm pumps, screw pumps, hydraulic pumps, vane pumps, regenerative (peripheral) pumps and peristaltic pumps. 38 WO 2012/054810 PCT/US20111/057233 Systems of the present invention may include one or more than one of the aforementioned volumetric pumps 50. Each of the volumetric pumps 50 is desirably associated with a coating head manifold 60, which includes a plurality of orifices 70, 70'. Desirably, each volumetric pump 50 is 5 associated with one individual orifice 70. The volumetric pump 50 is in fluid communication with the orifice 70 with which it is associated, thus allowing the film forming matrix to be pumped from the pump 50 through the orifice 70. In one particular embodiment, the orifices 70 are slot dies, but the orifices 70 may be any other opening or die desired. The orifice 70 is desirably sized so as to allow the formation of the desired film product. 10 The orifices 70 are desirably in communication with the substrate 20, such that when a particular amount of wet film forming matrix is dispensed through the orifice 70, the wet film forming matrix is deposited onto the top surface of the substrate 20. Thus, in one embodiment, the manifold 60 has a first side 65A and a second side 65B, with the orifice 70 extending through the manifold 60 from the first side 65A to the second side 65B. The pump 15 50 is in communication with the first side 65A of the manifold. The wet film matrix is pumped from the reservoir 30, through feed line 40, through the pump 50, through the orifice 70, and deposited onto the substrate 20, which, during operation, is traveling in the direction A. It is particularly desirable that the wet film matrix be extruded through the orifice 70 directly onto the substrate 20, and thus the wet film matrix should have sufficiently high 20 viscosity and/or solids content so as to allow for extrusion. In addition, the wet film forming matrix should have a sufficient viscosity so as to generally maintain its shape and size after deposition onto the surface of the substrate 20. It is contemplated, of course, that the matrix may alternatively have a lower viscosity, and that the matrix may be simply flowed through the orifice 70 onto the substrate 20. The substrate 20 may have discrete dams, wells or 25 pockets formed therein, between or into which the wet film forming matrix may be deposited. 39 WO 2012/054810 PCT/US20111/057233 In one embodiment, a plurality of individual wet film products 80, 80' is deposited onto the surface of the substrate 20 in a substantially side-by-side manner. The individual wet film products 80 are deposited onto the substrate 20 as the substrate 20 moves through the apparatus 10, and preferably, each individual wet film product 80 is extruded onto a region of 5 the substrate 20 where no individual wet film product 80 has already been extruded. Thus, the substrate 20 may have a plurality of individual wet film products 80 deposited along its length and its width. Each individual wet film product 80 is sized so as to provide the desired final dried film product. The speed at which the substrate 20 travels during the deposition of the wet film product 80 thereon may dictate or control the size of the wet film product 80. In 10 particular, the thickness of the wet film product 80 may be controlled by the speed of the substrate 20, where a faster moving substrate 20 may provide a thinner wet film product 80, and vice versa. During use, each pump 50 dispenses a plurality of individual wet film products 80 onto the substrate 20 in a lane (85A, 85B, 85C). Each lane (85) includes a plurality of individual wet 15 film products 80. Desirably, each of the individual wet film products 80 has a substantially uniform size, shape, and content. In this fashion, the known dosage amount between each of the individual wet film products 80 can be known with a great deal of accuracy. The individual wet film products 80 may be deposited directly onto a non-film substrate 20, or the individual wet film products 80 may be deposited onto a substrate 20 that is a pre-formed 20 film (thus forming a multi-layered film product). It is desired that the volumetric pumps 50 repeatedly dispense the individual wet film products 80 onto the surface of the substrate 20, so as to form the lane 85 of individual wet film products 80. Any number of individual wet film products 80 may be deposited onto the surface of the substrate 20. The number of lanes 85 of wet film products 80 depends upon the number of 25 pumps 50 and orifices 70 in the apparatus 10. For example, if the apparatus 10 includes five 40 WO 2012/054810 PCT/US20111/057233 pumps 50 and orifices 70 associated therewith; there will be five lanes 85 of wet film products 80 formed on the substrate 20. Any number of pumps 50 and orifices 70 may be used in the apparatus 10, and desirably there may be between about 2 and about 30 pumps 50 and orifices 70 in the apparatus 10. Therefore, there may be between about 2 and about 30 5 lanes 85 of individual wet film products 80 formed on the substrate 20. Depending upon the speed and rate of the pump 50 and the substrate 20, there may be any number of individual wet film products 80 per each lane 85. As depicted in Figure 1, there is desirably a slight gap between each individual film product 80 in the lane 85, and there is a slight gap between each adjacent lane 85. Gaps between individual wet film products 80 may aid in the processing 10 and later packaging of the resultant film product. As explained above, the substrate 20 may include an ingestible film product pre-formed thereon, where the wet film products 80 may be deposited directly onto the top surface of the pre-formed film product. The pre-formed film product on the substrate may be a continuous sheet of film. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the substrate 20 may have a plurality of 15 individual film products pre-formed on the surface thereof, and the wet film matrix is deposited onto the surface of the individual film products that have been pre-formed on the substrate 20 (so as to form multi-layered film products). In this fashion, multi-layered film products may be formed with little to no cutting and sizing required, as the multi-layered individual film products may simply be removed from the substrate 20 when dried. 20 The individual wet film products 80 may be any shape desired, including square, rectangular, circular, or other desired shapes. The individual wet film products 80 may be any size desired, depending upon the size of the resulting dried film product desired. In some embodiments, the wet film products 80 may be small film products, i.e., being approximately 1 mg in mass each. The individual film products 80 may be larger, if desired, such as 25 between about 1 mg and 200 mg in mass per individual film product. The individual film 41 WO 2012/054810 PCT/US20111/057233 products 80 may be 200 mg or less, or alternatively 100 mg or less. For transdermal systems, the individual film products 80 can range from about 10 mg to about 2000 mg, or alternatively 2000 mg or less, or 1000 mg or less. As explained above, the substrate 20 moves in the direction A during the manufacturing 5 process. The rate of speed of the substrate 20, as well as the rate of speed of the pumps 50, determines the number of individual film products deposited onto the substrate 20 during the processing. After the individual film products 80 have been deposited onto the substrate 20, the substrate continues to move in the direction A towards a drying apparatus 90, such as an oven. The wet film products 80 may be dried via any desired manner, such as those drying 10 methods described above. After the drying process has been complete, the plurality of dried individual film products may be removed from the substrate and packaged for distribution. Alternatively, the substrate 20 with dried film products may be rolled and stored for future use. In yet another embodiment, the dried individual film products may be die cut, along with the 15 substrate 20, to be packaged for distribution. Particularly in embodiments where the substrate 20 includes a pre-formed film thereon, cutting the dried individual film products may be useful, so as to form a cut multi-layered film product. Desirably, when the dried film products are to be cut from the substrate 20, the substrate 20 and any pre-formed film product thereon may not include any active component. As such, the leftover material from which 20 the individual film products are cut may be discarded without wasting potentially expensive materials, including actives. In an alternative embodiment, depicted in Figure 2, the apparatus 110 may be used to form a continuous stripe or lane of film product 180. The formation of a continuous stripe of film product 180 may be useful, for example, in apparatuses that dispense a continuous roll of 25 film, such as described above. Further, the formation of a continuous stripe of film product 42 WO 2012/054810 PCT/US20111/057233 180 may be beneficial for storage, packaging, and/or distribution purposes. As with above, the wet film strip products 180 are deposited onto a substrate 120, which may be a non-film substrate (i.e., mylar, paper, etc. as described above) or may include a pre-formed film thereon. The substrate 120 moves through the apparatus 110 as described above, in the 5 direction marked by the arrow A. The apparatus 110 includes a reservoir 130 as described above, which may be pressurized. The reservoir 130 is designed to house a film forming matrix. If desired, the reservoir 130 may include more than one compartment, thus being capable of housing various film forming components separately until just prior to formation of the film products, i.e., keeping solvents 10 and polymers separately housed from active components. A feed line 140 is in connection with the reservoir 130, and connects the reservoir 130 to a plurality of volumetric pumps 150, 150'. The volumetric pumps 150 may be any pumping mechanism desired, and preferably should be a pumping mechanism that allows for continuous and even dispensing of a wet film matrix therefrom. By dispensing an even and 15 continuous amount of wet film matrix, uniform stripes of film product 180 may be formed on the surface of the substrate 120. It is particularly desired that each stripe of film product 180 include a substantially uniform amount of content per unit area, especially including a known amount of active per unit area. Each stripe 180 should have substantially the same thickness, width and viscosity, so as to provide a substantially uniform final film product. Thus, the 20 volumetric pumps 150 should be capable of dispensing a substantially uniform and continuous amount of wet film product. In a desirable embodiment, volumetric film pumps 150 are gear pumps or metering pumps. Any known gear pumps and/or metering pumps in the art may be used. There may be any number of volumetric pumps 150 in the apparatus 110, desirably arranged 25 in a substantially side-by-side manner as shown in Figure 2. Preferably, there is a space or 43 WO 2012/054810 PCT/US20111/057233 gap between each volumetric pump 150, which aids in the processing and subsequent collection and packaging of the film products. The size of the gap between adjacent volumetric pumps 150 should be large enough to allow for ease of manufacture, but need not be so large that it reduces the number of pumps 150 available in the apparatus 110. 5 The number of volumetric pumps 150 dictates the number of stripes of film product 180 formed by the apparatus 110. For example, there may be between about 2 to about 30 volumetric pumps 150 in the apparatus, and more particularly between about 10 to about 20 volumetric pumps 150 in the apparatus. Each volumetric pump 150 is in fluid communication with the reservoir 130 via feed line 140, such that the film forming matrix is 10 provided from the reservoir 130 to the pumps 150 on an even and continuous basis during operation. During operation, the amount of film forming matrix provided to the volumetric pump 150 located closest to the reservoir should be substantially equal to the amount of film forming matrix provided to the volumetric pump 150 located furthest from the reservoir. This ensures that the resulting stripes of film product 180 have substantially uniform content 15 throughout the stripe 180. Each volumetric pump 150 is associated with a first side 165A of a manifold 160, such that the film forming matrix may dispensed through the manifold 160. The manifold 160 includes a plurality of orifices 170 extending therethrough. The orifices 170 extend through the manifold 160 from the first side 165A to the second side 165B. In a preferred embodiment, 20 each orifice 170 is in fluid communication with one volumetric pump 150, such that the film forming matrix may be dispensed from one volumetric pump 150 through one orifice 170. Thus, the number of orifices 170 should be equal to the number of volumetric pumps 150. In a desired embodiment, the orifices 170 are slot dies, but the orifices 170 may be any desired opening through which a wet film forming matrix may be fed. It is further desired that each 25 orifice 170 be approximately the same size as each other, including approximately the same 44 WO 2012/054810 PCT/US20111/057233 height, width, length and shape. In this fashion, the resulting stripe of film product 180 dispensed will each have a substantially uniform shape, size and content. During use, the volumetric pumps 150 each dispense a wet film forming matrix through the manifold 160 via an orifice 170. The wet film forming matrix is deposited from the orifice 5 170 directly onto the surface of the substrate 120. During the processing, the substrate 120 is moved along the apparatus 110 in the direction A. It is particularly desirable to use volumetric pumps 150 that are capable of continuously dispensing the film forming matrix during the manufacturing process, so as to form a continuous stripe of film product 180. The speed of movement of the substrate 120, in conjunction with the dispensing rate of the 10 volumetric pumps 150, controls the amount of wet film forming matrix deposited onto the surface of the substrate 120. It may be desired that the substrate 120 move at a slow rate, for example, if the wet film forming matrix is highly viscous. Alternatively, it may be desired that the substrate 120 move at a faster rate, for example, if the wet film forming matrix is less viscous. The substrate 120 moves in the direction A from the manifold 160 to a drying 15 apparatus 190, such as a drying oven or other means for drying the wet film matrix. The speed of the substrate 120 and the size of the drying apparatus 190 will dictate the length of time that the wet film product 180 is dried in the drying apparatus 190. For example, with a faster moving substrate 120 and/or a shorter drying apparatus 190, the wet film product 180 will be dried for a shorter length of time than it would with a slower moving substrate 120 20 and/or a longer drying apparatus 190. The individual stripes of wet film products 180 are desirably arranged in columns (i.e., 185A, 185B, 185C) along the length of the surface of the substrate 120. It is particularly preferred that the stripes of wet film product 180 be arranged in a substantially side-by-side manner, with a sufficient space or gap between adjacent lane 185 to aid in the processing and 25 subsequent collection/packaging of the film product. There may be as many columns 185 as 45 WO 2012/054810 PCT/US20111/057233 is desired, with each column 185 being formed by an individual volumetric pump 150 and associated orifice 170. In addition, the space between each adjacent column 185 is approximately equal to the space between adjacent orifices 170 in the apparatus 110. Each column 185 of film material is desirably a continuously deposited lane of wet film matrix, 5 such that, after drying is complete, the individual column 185 of dried film product may be collected and packaged. For example, it may be desired that the individual column 185 be removed from the substrate 120 and rolled, where it may be housed in a dispensing apparatus for use by an end user. Alternatively, the column 185 may be cut along with the substrate 120 to provide a continuous stripe 185 of film with a substrate backing. Further, the stripe 10 180 of dried film may be cut into individual film products of approximately equal size and shape, each individual film product being one dosage unit. In one particular embodiment as depicted in Figures 3A and 3B, the apparatus may be useful in forming a series of individual, multi-layered products. For example, the individual multi layered products may include active-containing patches. The apparatus represented by Figure 15 1 and described above is particularly useful in forming individual, multi-layered products, such as patches. In this embodiment, the substrate 210 may include a sheet of ingestible and/or dissolvable film 220 (also referred to herein as a "first layer"), which forms a backing layer for an active-containing layer. In some embodiments, the sheet of ingestible film 220 may be the substrate 210, such as if the sheet of ingestible film 220 is self-supporting and 20 capable of being fed through the apparatus itself. It is preferable that the first layer 220 be made of a mucoadhesive, biocompatible, dissolvable material. It may be desired that the first layer 220 is a slow-dissolving film sheet. By "slow-dissolving", it is intended that the sheet 220 has a longer dissolution rate than the rate of the active-containing layer (described below) adhered thereto. The first layer 220 may be formed on a separate substrate, such as mylar, 25 paper, or other non-ingestible backing layer described above. The first layer 220 may be pre 46 WO 2012/054810 PCT/US20111/057233 formed and dried, it may be undried, or it may be partially dried. For example, the first layer 220 may be a visco-elastic mass of film-forming material. The first layer 220 has a first surface 225. During processing, as described above, a plurality of individual active-containing wet film layers 230 (also referred to herein as a "second 5 layer") are deposited onto the first surface 225 of the first layer 220. Desirably, the active containing wet film layers 230 are made of a biocompatible polymeric material, which dissolves at a faster rate than the first layer 220. As explained above, the active-containing wet film layers 230 are desirably deposited through a plurality of volumetric pumps in a substantially side-by-side manner, with a desired gap between adjacent active-containing wet 10 film layers 230. After the individual active-containing film layers 230 have been deposited onto the first layer 220 and dried, the two layers (220, 230) should be sufficiently adhered to each other such that they do not become separated. The drying process alone may sufficiently adhere the two layers 220, 230 to each other, or there may be an adhesive composition applied between the 15 first layer 220 and the active-containing film layer 230. Once the active-containing film layer 230 (and the first layer 220, if necessary) has been sufficiently dried, the first layer 220 may be sized and cut. In one embodiment, the sheet of dissolvable film 220 is cut in a first direction 240 (between adjacent active containing film layers 230) and in a second direction 250 (between adjacent active containing film layers 20 230) that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction 240, so as to form a series of individual multi-layered products 260. As can be seen in Figure 3B, the multi-layered product 260 includes a first layer 220 and second layer 230 adhered thereto. The first layer 220 is desirably slower-dissolving than the second layer 230. The second layer 230 desirably includes at least one active component. If desired, the first layer 220 may include at least one 47 WO 2012/054810 PCT/US20111/057233 active component, which may be the same or different than the active component in the second layer 230. In one embodiment, it is preferred that the second layer 230 be sized smaller than the first layer 220, i.e., that the length and/or width of the second layer 230 be smaller than the length 5 and/or width of the first layer 220 with which it is associated. In this fashion, at least a portion of the first side 225 of the first layer 220 is exposed beyond the sides of the second layer 230. It is especially preferred that a portion of the first side 225 of the first layer 220 is exposed around the entire periphery of the second layer 230. For example, as depicted in Figure 3B, the second layer 230 may have a smaller length and width than the first layer 220, 10 and the second layer may be deposited generally in the center of the first layer 220. Thus, the first side 225 of the first layer 220 is exposed around the entire periphery of the second layer 230. Alternatively, the width and/or length of the first layer 220 and second layer 230 may be approximately equal. In another embodiment, one or more sides of the first layer 220 and second layer 230 may be flush with each other. 15 It is preferable that at least the first side 225 of the first layer 220 be made of a mucoadhesive material, such that it may be sufficiently applied to a mucosal surface of the body of the user and adhere thereto. For example, the resulting multi-layer product 260 may be applied to any skin surface of a user, such as, for example, a mucosal surface, including oral, nasal, optical, vaginal, or anal surfaces of the user, or may be applied to an internal body organ such as 20 during surgery. In this embodiment, the individual multi-layered product 260 may be applied by a user to a skin surface, such that the first side 225 of the first layer 220 is in contact with the skin surface and substantially adhered thereto. In this embodiment, the active-containing layer 230 is directed towards the skin surface of the user. If the second layer 230 dissolves at a faster rate than the first layer 220, the second layer 230 may be allowed to fully dissolve in 48 WO 2012/054810 PCT/US20111/057233 the direction of the skin surface of the user, allowing fill absorption of any active(s) contained in the second layer 230 into the user's body. It will be understood, of course, that the multi-layered film product embodiment described above may be formed with a continuous stripe of active-containing film product (as depicted 5 in Figure 2 and described above), as opposed to individual active-containing film layers 230. In such an embodiment, the product may be cut in such a fashion such that two opposing sides of the first surface 225 of the first layer 220 are exposed beyond the stripe of second layer. In another embodiment depicted in Figure 4, the apparatus 310 may include a first film 10 forming region 310A and a second film-forming region 310B. In such embodiments, the first film forming region 31 OA may include a first reservoir 315, which houses a first film forming matrix. The first film forming matrix generally includes film-forming components as described above, and may include an active or it may be active-free. The apparatus 310 includes a substrate 320, which is made from a non-ingestible material, such as mylar, paper, 15 and other materials described above. The substrate 320, as with other embodiments described above, moves through the apparatus 310 in the direction represented by the arrow A, i.e., from the first film forming region 310A to the second film forming region 310B. The first film forming region 3 1OA includes a first manifold 325, which is in fluid connection with the first reservoir 315, and is intended to deposit a continuous sheet 330 of first film 20 forming material onto the substrate 320 during use. Optionally, there may be a first drying apparatus (not shown) disposed at a location after the first manifold 325 but before the second film-forming region 310B. During use, the apparatus 310 deposits the sheet 330 of first film forming material onto the substrate 320, forming a first layer of film forming material. It may be desired that the sheet 25 330 of first film forming material be immediately dried before entering the second film 49 WO 2012/054810 PCT/US20111/057233 forming region 310B. Alternatively, the sheet 330 of first film forming material may be partially dried before entering the second film forming region 31 OB, for example, to form a visco-elastic mass of film material. The first layer of film forming material 330 (whether dried, undried, or partially dried) travels 5 through the apparatus 310 into the second film forming region 310B. The second film forming region 3 1OB may include the components and methods described above with respect to the embodiments depicted in Figures 1 or 2. For example, the second film forming region 31 OB includes a second reservoir 340, which is in fluid communication with a second feed line 345. The second feed line 345 is in communication with a plurality of volumetric pumps 10 350. The plurality of volumetric pumps 350 is in communication with a second manifold 355, which includes a plurality of orifices 360. As explained above, desirably, each orifice 360 is associated with one volumetric pump 350. The second film forming region 310 deposits a plurality of wet film products 365 onto the first layer of film forming material 330 in a substantially side-by-side manner in a series of columns (i.e., 370A, 370B). 15 The first layer of film material 330 and the plurality of wet film products 365 travel through the apparatus 310 into a drying apparatus 375, which may be a drying oven. The wet film products 365 (and the first layer of film, if necessary) are dried, such as by the drying methods described above. Once sufficiently dried, the resulting multi-layered film products (including the first layer 20 330 and the plurality of now-dried film products 365) may be sized and cut as desired, or alternatively may be stored for future use. The first layer 330 and film products 365 are desirably adhered to each other, which may be achieved simply through the drying process or there may be an adhesive composition applied between the first layer 330 and the film products 365 prior to deposition thereof. 50 WO 2012/054810 PCT/US20111/057233 The present invention takes into account, and is premised on the understanding of, a number of issues that may adversely impact the flow of material through a slot die, which may result in changes in flow of the material. Slight changes in certain parameters may undesirably alter the content uniformity of the resulting film, in particular the uniformity of active, which is 5 produced across a plurality of slot dies fed from a single pump. Uniformity of content among individual films or dosages, particularly uniformity of active, is especially important in film manufacturing. The present invention minimizes or all together eliminates the potential problems associated with use of a single pump, as will be explained below. In typical systems and in the present invention, a preferred slot die is a rectangular orifice 10 having three dimensions: height (B), width (W) and length (L). The length (L) is understood to be the length of the orifice from the front of the die to the back, depicted in Figure 1 as the length from the first side 65A and a second side 65B. The flow through a rectangular die, such as the slot die of the present invention, may be defined by the Hagen-Poiseuille equation: 15 Q = 2 (Po - P_)B 3 W 3 p L In the above equation, Q is the volumetric flow rate, P is the pressure, and p is the viscosity of the fluid being flowed through the die. When multiple orifices are being flowed through in 20 typical apparatuses, such as a slot die coater with a single pump feeding a manifold with multiple slot dies, the flow rate may be adversely impacted by many factors. Even slight variations in these factors may have a significant impact in the flow rate, and thus the content of films formed by the apparatus. The potential adverse impact of such a system is reduced or eliminated through the present invention. 25 For example, pressure changes may impact the flow rate, since flow is proportional to the pressure at the entrance to the slot in the slot die. If a substantially uniform flow across multiple slot dies is desired, it is important to have a substantially equal pressure level at the 51 WO 2012/054810 PCT/US20111/057233 entrance to each slot die. To achieve this equal pressure level across all dies, a manifold design with one single pump feeding to it must prevent the flow inside the manifold from being disturbed by external forces. That is, the flow within such a manifold must not be disturbed by changes in temperature, viscosity, or non-uniform dispersions or clumping of 5 components in the fluid being flowed. In addition, the height of the slot die may have an affect on the flow rate of the fluid being flowed through. Flow is proportional to the height of the slot, which is typically the narrowest dimension of the slot die, to the third power. Since this is typically the smallest dimension, any variability in this dimension from slot to slot will have a potentially high 10 impact on the percentage of variability in the flow rate of the matrix as it is fed to each of the slot dies. To counter this problem, it would be critical that each of the slot dies in the apparatus have the same height dimension as each other. Even a 3% difference in height between adjacent slot dies in the apparatus would result in a nearly 10% variation in flow rate. 15 Another factor that may affect the flow rate is the viscosity of the fluid being flowed through the dies. Flow rate is inversely proportional to the viscosity, such that changes in the localized viscosity due to forces such as temperature or non-homogeneity (clumping of particles in the matrix) will impact the flow rate through that slot, and subsequently the flow rate through to the remaining slot dies. Even a slight change in the flow rate may adversely 20 affect the uniformity of content, including active content, of the films formed by subsequent slot dies. In the present invention, the flow rate through each individual slot die is determined and controlled by the flow exiting the individual volumetric pump attached to an individual slot die. The present invention overcomes the above problems by using a plurality of individual 25 pumps associated with individual slot dies. The pressure may be kept at a substantially 52 WO 2012/054810 PCT/US20111/057233 constant level among each individual pump. In addition, since each slot die is associated with an individual pump, variations in the height between adjacent slot dies will have no affect on each other. Finally, use of individual pumps may easily take into account viscosity changes and minimize any potential affect based on variations therein. 5 While the above problems may potentially be solved through the use of a single pump-fed manifold directed to a plurality of individual slot dies, such an apparatus would need to include: a manifold that is not affected by any external forces; identical slot dies; and a viscosity of the flowed matrix that is completely uniform with no drop in viscosity from the first slot die to the last slot die. Such an apparatus would be cumbersome and difficult to 10 achieve. As can be appreciated by those of skill in the art, the present invention substantially solves the problems associated with such single-pump apparatuses by providing a system and method that provides each slot die with its own individual pump. The present system allows for greater control and stability between and among the slot dies in the system. The potential 15 issues set forth in the Hagen-Poiscuille equation above are rectified with the present invention in an efficient and controlled manner. The result is a more predictable and uniform product among each slot die in the system. A number of embodiments of the invention have been described.
