Fluid bed pellet coating solution
In pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturing, achieving a uniform coating on pellets is crucial to ensure precise dosage and optimal efficacy. Traditional methods often struggle with issues of uneven application and high product loss due to agglomeration and dust generation.
Achieve precise pellet coating with fluid bed technology
The PRECISION-COATER by GEA is a cutting-edge fluid bed system designed for efficient and uniform coating of small particles such as powders, granules, seeds, crystals, pellets, and small tablets. Utilizing a central column for upward motion with atomized liquid and drying air, this system minimizes agglomeration and ensures even coating distribution. With high spray rates and controlled product movement, it reduces processing time and enhances yield. The FlexStream fluid bed processor by GEA offers granulation, drying, and pellet coating in one. Multiple two-fluid nozzles ensure precise liquid distribution and minimize fines and agglomeration, improving product quality and yield. This multi-functional unit supports both aqueous and organic solvents and offers various solvent recovery options, making it suitable for diverse industrial applications.
