DESCRIPTION

The software allows to simulate fluidized-bed granulators, either batch or continuous multichamber units. The simulator predicts, among other variables, temperature and particle size distribution of the granular product.

APPLICATIONS

Design or simulation of industrial fluidized-bed granulators of different industries | Training tool | Suitable to perform sensitivity and optimization analyses

ADVANTAGES

• Fitting parameters are not required in the case of coating processes
• Suitable for simulation of different size change mechanisms
• Appropriate for either wet or melt granulation

DEVELOPMENT STATUS

Full version available. Successful validation against experimental data from a large-scale industrial granulator.
