Contract manufacturing by fluid bed and spouted bed technology: Which is better, continuous or batch process?

When running processes such as fluid bed and spouted bed drying, granulation, encapsulation and coating, which production management is most advantageous for contract manufacturers: continuous or batch mode? Gudrun Ding, Head of Business Development, Process Technology, Glatt Ingenieurtechnik provides an insight into their everyday practices and points out which mode of operation offers most benefits. Glatt + Erbo Spraytec provide an insight into practice

Course Fluid Beds: Fluidization, Granulation/Coating and Drying

In his lecture on “Fluid bed granulation/coating – equipment design and operations”, Didier Schons, Glatt Ingenieurtechnik, will explain these topics, presenting the differences between batchwise and continuous operation, as well as various aspects for particle and product flow. You will learn more about open and closed process gas systems as well as about the premises for the use of multi-purpose plants. The explanations will be illustrated by means of selected case studies.

Meet the Glatt experts at the ChemProTech India 2022

Free-flowing granules and pellets from liquids and powders using innovative fluid bed and spouted bed technology at Booth G12 in Hall 1. With state-of-the-art fluid bed and spouted bed technologies, Glatt offers intelligent particle design to dry, shape and functionalize powders and granules with the desired properties in just one process step, improving their application and handling.

Glatt expands technology center with new laboratory plant for powder synthesis

In January 2022, plant manufacturer and process expert, Glatt Ingenieurtechnik, expanded its powder synthesis capacity at the company’s technology center in Weimar. The newly installed system ensures a homogenous process temperature throughout the entire length of the ProAPP® 80 HT reactor or the targeted adjustment of temperature gradients. This allows different process steps to be combined.

Continuous monitoring and automatic control of pharmaceutical processes. Example: Fluid bed granulation (Poster)

Elaboration of the plant and control engineering fundamentals for the precise control of particle growth in granulation processes. From this, reliable statements on the industrial scalability and pharmaceutical suitability of self-regulating granulation processes can be derived. The results create the technological prerequisites for a completely new quality level in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products (granules and tablets).

Spray agglomerating plant-based milk alternatives for optimised product properties

Powdery substances often cause problems during dosing, filling and transport because of their high dust content and poor flowability. Low solubilities and dispersing properties also impair the application of the end product. With the help of fluidised bed spray agglomeration, the size distribution and structure of difficult-to-process particles can be specifically adjusted and improved.

Spray (micro) encapsulation of oxidation and light-sensitive volatile substances in matrix form (Poster)

The poster reports a case study involving the spray granulation of a solution using continuous fluidized bed and spouted processing.
Based on various experiments in laboratory and pilot scale a statistical process model was derived based on artificial neural networks. A parameter study and sensitivity analysis was performed to determine the main process conditions and formulation variables. The multi-dimensional model of the process supported the optimization of product properties (e.g. particle size, particle sphericity) and related process conditions (e.g. product temperature, spray rate).
