GFC 16 – Continuous fluidized bed coating on pilot scale

The new overall concept for fully continuous coating – now also on a pilot scale – includes measures for optimum product treatment, uniform liquid distribution and gentle raw material feed and product discharge. The control system and instrumentation allow meaningful process monitoring. One application example is the coating of fertilizers with biopolymers in order to control the release of the ingredients in a targeted manner.
