Fluidized-bed systems combine a number of different advantages. The free movement of particles during fluidization leads to a larger contact surface area with the process air and with the granulation liquid. Operators benefit from good heat transfer, efficient drying, and good mixing. Different approaches to doing this are available.

Enablers of production – Same old in the “pump halls”? Not this time! If the production of tomorrow wants to truly unleash its efficiency potentials, pump experts are challenged. In fact, the largest exhibitor group at Achema is more innovative and digital than ever before.

The detailed study shows how to set up external lubrication equipment by analyzing the process parameters’ importance and impact on production using a double-side rotary tablet press thus, minimizing time losses.

Although modern containment systems are state-of-the-art technology in the production of solid pharmaceutical formulations, the interfaces to the surroundings and the cleaning processes still represent critical aspects. These need to be managed with a great deal of know-how.

Krones has developed its first in-house solution – the Krones Ozonomic ozoniser for ozonising water. The solution breaks down oxygen and forms ozone molecules which are added to the drinking water before filling it. With this, the company has expanded its portfolio of water-packaging equipment.

Pumping oleum is challenging enough — add a submersion depth of 11 meters, and things get really interesting. But a magnetically coupled sealless pump is up to the challenge, providing safe and reliable handling of hazardous liquids.

The cost of natural gas for industrial heating processes, electric power and HVAC is rising while emissions controls also grow more stringent. Engineers must adapt and learn how to better control the calorific value of their gas feeds to optimize industrial heating processes. Controlling your burn reduces consumption, costs and emissions.

How can high-shear granulation be reliably and securely scaled up from the lab to production? In addition to thorough knowledge of the process, it is helpful to have modular systems that enable the process parameters to be set very accurately.

The Corona crisis has enabled the rapid rise of several Chinese bioprocessing companies. The sudden explosion in demand for cell cultures and other products for the pharmaceutical and biological processing industries has made a number of previously unknown companies from the People's Republic amazingly successful in a short period of time.

For more than two decades, peristaltic (hose) pump technology has proven to offer the performance and reliability that can make it a first-choice pumping option for wastewater treaters who crave highly reliable, environmentally friendly, low-maintenance pump operation.
