Fluid bed technology is used in various applications especially for agglomeration of powder or for encapsulation of tailor-made products with functional coatings. IPC, an associated company of the Glatt group, offers such technologies as contract manufacturing service. In addition to batch processing, IPC has installed continuous production facilities. Besides agglomeration and pelletization processes, continuous fluid bed processing allows for spray granulation. With this technology granules or pellets can be made directly from liquid raw material. The products are compact and dust- free granules with a mean diameter between 100 µm and 3 mm. Thus spray granulation is an alternative to spray dryers. The design of the processing chamber of the ProCell by Glatt allows to work with little material in the process, resulting in short residence times. By this means spherical, dust-free and homogeneous pellets can be formed with little thermal stress to the product.
