Fluid bed processor for granulating, drying, and coating in pilot scale

When scaling from laboratory to production, rely on advanced fluid bed processes to granulate, dry, and coat efficiently, ensuring precise control and quality for your pilot-scale batches.

Processes Granulates, Powders, and Coated Tablets

The CAP 10-80 RC Fluid Bed Processor from DIOSNA Dierks & Söhne GmbH is designed for efficient granulating, drying, and coating of powders and tablets, specifically within the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetics industries. With its compact design, this processor adeptly addresses space constraints in your production facility while maintaining high-level processing capabilities.

The CAP 10-80 RC features a flexible spray technology system, offering top, bottom, or tangential spraying options, allowing for precise adaptation to a wide array of product requirements—including effervescent, controlled-release, and vitamin tablets. The unit’s Rapid Change principle facilitates easy and quick exchange of product bowls, supporting seamless batch-to-batch transitions and simplifying scale-up operations to enhance production efficiency.

Engineered for automated operation, it includes a PLC system to manage and store various recipes, aligning with your specific batch production needs. The processor’s durable construction ensures it is pressure shock resistant, and the inclusion of inflatable seals enhances its operational safety during high-pressure processes. Compliance with GMP standards and the incorporation of CIP/WIP cleaning systems ensure that your processes remain both compliant and efficient, with minimal downtime required for maintenance.

DIOSNA’s dedication to engineering excellence means the CAP 10-80 RC is a future-proof investment, with customization options available to meet specific processing needs and support from a team of skilled engineers ready to assist in integrating this technology into your existing production line.
