In addition to the proven pelleting technology, AMANDUS KAHL will also showcase its extensive expertise in fluidised bed technology at this year's ACHEMA in Frankfurt. From 10 to 14 June, the machine manufacturer from Reinbek/Germany will be exhibiting its flat die pellet mills type 14-175 and 33-600, as well as the flexible laboratory fluidised bed plant LFB Batch mini L.
At ACHEMA, innovation takes centre stage. From process engineering to pharmaceutical engineering and to laboratory technology - this exhibition provides a platform for the most important innovation drivers in the process industries. With its special plants in the field of fluidised bed technology, AMANDUS KAHL offers its customers in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food and feed industries as well as in the biotechnology sector various processes to modify the material properties of powdery or liquid products. A gas, usually air, flows through the solid particles from below. The intensive movement of the particles produces the so-called fluidised bed. It provides ideal conditions for further processing, including agglomeration, spray granulation, coating or micro-encapsulation.
AMANDUS KAHL fluidised bed systems are versatile and flexible. Depending on the input product, quantity and product requirements, fluidised bed technology can be used in Conti-FB plants as a continuous process or in Batch-FB plants a batchwise process. In the batch process - unlike in the continuous process - the powdery products are processed batchwise, which is particularly suitable for the manufacture of small production quantities. Users can flexibly select the process parameters for drying, agglomerating, spray granulating, micro-encapsulating and coating powders, granules and pellets.
AMANDUS KAHL pellet mills are particularly suitable for pelleting dusty products with a low bulk density and which are difficult to dose. Due to its compact size, the pellet mill 14-175 is mainly used on a laboratory scale. Like the pellet mill 33-600, it can be GMP certified for applications in the pharmaceutical industry.
Pelleting facilitates the further processing of plastics, masterbatches, polymer additives, but also food, feedstuffs feed and many other products. Through agglomeration, fine particles are compacted to form "no-dust blends". Furthermore, the shelf life, dosability, water solubility and transportability of the final products are optimised.
Further information on all pelleting and fluidised bed plants is available at stand B47 in Hall 6.1.
