Fluid bed laboratory unit - keep the explosion inside

Processing of all St-1 and St-2 dusts and their hybrid mixtures

The ProCell LabSystem – the most flexible fluid bed laboratory unit for granulation processes – is introduced in explosion pressure proof design at ACHEMA 2012. All St-1 and St-2 dusts, which means almost all common solid materials, can be processed in the lab unit. By this means the time needed for safety review prior to trials can be considerably reduced. In addition the equipment is safe for the future – even with products, not known today, tests will be possible.
The proven concept of “avoiding ingnition sources” is still applied and makes explosions highliy unlikely. Yet, in case of an explosion, it is contained inside of the equipment.
Solvents can also be processed, using additional equipment. In this case the solvents and explosive dust form hybrid mixtures. An explosion of these mixtures is also kept inside the pressure shock resistant ProCell LabSystem.
When processing solvents not only explosion protection but also the environment and the cost of the solvent must be considered. Hence Glatt offers a closed loop of the process gas as an option. The process gas, usually nitrogen, is cleaned after the processing chamber and returned to the process. A condenser separarates the solvent wich may be re-used. Especially when using the unit as small production equipment this option is used.
The ProCell LabSystem has been tested at a notified body in order to determine the maximum explosion pressuer. This independent institute confirmed the explosion protection concept.
For the cleaning an automated wash in place (WIP) system can be employed. The entire process room is cleaned by means of cleaning nozzles. This ensures a comfortable cleaning procedure. In addition it provides the possibility to test the capability of automated cleaning systems for new products already in the lab scale.
Spray granulation and agglomeration process can be tested with the ProCell LabSystem, generating granules and pellets from powder and/or liquid raw materials. Coating of existing particles is also possible. Different process inserts offer fluid bed process, spouted bed process or rotor process. Batch or continuous processing is possible.Unique is the wide range of capacities: throughput of 0.2 - 15 kg/h, spray rate of 0.2 - 18 l/h and working volume of 0.4 - 38 l.

Company information

Glatt Ingenieurtechnik GmbH
Glatt Ingenieurtechnik GmbH
Glatt is specialized in intelligent particle design for the generation and functionalization of powders and granulates with defined, adjustable properties. The focus is on particles and powders for pigments, catalytic, ceramic or battery materials as well as for granules and pellets as additives for e.g. industrial salts, detergents and cleaning agents, fertilizers, pesticides, food, feed, dietary supplements and pharmaceuticals. Encapsulation of flavors, enzymes, vitamins, microorganisms, probiotics or fatty acids (PUFA) is just as possible as encapsulation of essential oils and other active, sensitive substances to be protected. With Glatt APPtec®, a unique technology for spray calcination, it is possible to generate, coat and then calcine particles in a pulsing hot gas stream in a single process step. As a pioneer in fluid bed and spouted bed technologies, Glatt masters these important processes for the formulation and optimization of particle properties through defined spray agglomeration, spray granulation, spray coating or (micro)encapsulation as well as through combinations of these processes. Also in the high temperature range. Glatt supports the product idea from the early phase of product formulation through process development to scale-up to production scale. Under the leadership of the Glatt Process & Plant Engineering teams, customized production plants for nutrition, fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and biotech applications are successfully planned and commissioned. Worldwide. Whether based on powder synthesis, fluid bed or spouted bed technology, Glatt also offers certified contract manufacturing for customers without their own production capacities.
