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.

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.

Glatt Ingenieurtechnik commissioned to plan new BioCampus in Straubing

Weimar, Germany, March 2022: Glatt Ingenieurtechnik GmbH (Weimar, Germany) will be responsible for the Basic Engineering of the process technology for the multipurpose BioCampus MultiPilot (BMP) plant on behalf of BioCampus Straubing GmbH. Here, at the Straubing-Sand port, customers will be able to develop, test, optimize and scale-up industrial biotechnology processes, validate their economic viability and manufacture samples.

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.

A spirit of optimism between batch and continuous production

The concept of continuous production is captivating. No longer batch by batch – instead, for example, a liquid product can simply be tapped at any time. It is therefore surprising that “continuous manufacturing” did not already triumphantly conquer chemical and pharmaceutical production five or ten years ago. In the meantime, however, there are a whole series of forward-looking examples.

Precision Landing with Special Plant Engineering
