Project Description
Fluid bed granulation
The choice of the most suitable design depends on the task to be performed and the prevailing technological conditions. Through close collaboration between the plant manufacturer and the user, effective and future-proof fluid bed and spouted bed systems can be designed and built for granulation, coating or other drying operations.
Batch dryers are usually characterised by a circular fluid bed design. Continuous dryers are typically designed with elongated rectangular trays. The elongated design ensures that the raw material flows as uniformly as possible through the equipment towards the discharge. As a result, the product remains in the process chamber with the narrowest possible residence time distribution and is dried uniformly.
Systems with circular fluid beds are mainly used when particularly intensive mixing of the fluid bed is required. The range of configurations includes different filtration systems, various nozzle and spray systems, flexible solids feeds and product discharge systems through to classifying discharge systems for continuous operation.
The ProCell® series combines the innovative spouted bed concept with the flexibility and multizone concept of a GF. The main applications are fine particle granulation and the processing of products sensitive to temperature and residence time or even sticky substances.
