Design and operation of energy-efficient fluid bed systems – Integrated approach saves costs

/in , /by

Designing and operating fluid bed systems with energy efficiency: Systems for agglomeration, spray granulation and coating in the fluid bed are used in nearly all industries with the production and refinement of solid product forms. In addition to the material and application properties of the manufactured products their manufacturing costs can also be significantly influenced already during the design of the fluid bed systems.

Full Flexibility with Spouted-Bed – Glatt’s ProCell continuous spouted-bed equipment makes high-quality granulates and pellets

/in , /by

At the end of 2009, one of the world’s largest spouted bed systems for granulation started at the Dresden-based contract manufacturer IPC. A ProCell 250 from Glatt Ingenieurtechnik GmbH enables a so far unreached flexibility for agglomeration and spray granulation processes. Liquid and/or solid raw materials can be processed to granulates and pellets or existing particles can be coated. Batch or continuous operation is possible.

Efficient fluid bed machines thanks to simulation

/in , /by

Fluidic simulation helps to design and optimize fluid bed spray granulators: Starting from a basis technology, project-specific special purpose machines are developed. Classical development steps such as prototype manufacture are no longer practicable. Advanced methods and tools have to be used to minimize the financial and material risk in the project phase. Among other things fluidic simulation is used here to develop fluid bed machines in a more efficient manner and to implement knowledge from pilot-scale experiments to a large scale.
