LFB Batch
The LFB is a mobile, flexible and compact batch fluidized bed system with integrated air treatment (heater, fan and filter elements) as well as pneumatics, control and optional constructive explosion protection. The unit can be operated with exchangeable product bowls, air distribution plates, spray nozzles and additional modules.
The LFB fluidized bed unit offers an effective solution for optimizing processes, defining process parameters or trying out new recipes. Under professional conditions, all fluidized bed processes that are otherwise only possible on a large scale can now be carried out and scaled up to production quantities. The economic production of smaller batches is also possible.
Extended Functionalities
The LFB fluid bed system is available in two versions: "Standard" and "Maxi". The two versions differ in the product bowl size - Standard with 5 l, 10 l and 20 l, Maxi with 10 l, 20 l and 30 l - and in the size of the filter housing. The air supply unit is identical and the process towers can be exchanged flexibly. Further flexibility is provided by a second air module that can be connected additionally. It enables different temperatures to be generated via two separate air flows and is used, for example, to optimise coating processes.
Features:
- Top- and Bottom-Spray
- Wurster and Spouted-Bed technology
- Optional 2nd air module for coating applications
- Extendable filter range
- Modular structure for additional functionalities
- Different container sizes from 5 l to 30 l
- Closed product discharge by lateral discharge
LFB mini
The AMANDUS KAHL Laboratory Fluid Bed Equipment - LFB mini is the most compact plant for laboratory applications and has professional features to perform fluid bed processes such as Drying, Agglomeration, Spray Granulation, Microencapsulation or Coating of powders, granules or pellets in small batch scale for product quantities from 200g to 2500g.
The system is mobile and offers the highest flexibility to carry out a wide range of processes quickly, conveniently and above all highly professionally. The LFB mini consists of a compact stainless steel housing with integrated control system and air technology. All air technology components such as filter, air heater and fan are built into the air technology supply housing. The unit has numerous features and can be equipped with various product bowls, distribution air plates, spray nozzles, etc. It is possible to configure the LFB mini as a table top unit or with a mobile base frame with storage space for spare parts. Good handling of all plant components, easy cleaning possibilities and good accessibility for maintenance complete the picture of this laboratory fluid bed plant in GMP design.
Features:
- Top- and Bottom-Spray
- Wurster Technology
- Recipe-controlled user interface with integrated touch panel
- Modular structure for additional functionalities
- Different product bowl sizes 1.5 l, 3 l and 5 l
- Batch sizes from 200 g - 2500 g
- Pull-out mechanism for product bowl handling
- Fluidisation air via exhaust air fan
