Study of Scale up parameters of Fluidized bed Coating

Several investigations have been devoted towards understanding the coating process in fluidized beds. Most of these studies focused on spraying liquid droplets over the bed. However, due to the complexity of these systems, more investigations are still required to quantify the effect of operating conditions on the coating criteria. Fluidized bed processing involves drying, cooling, agglomeration, granulation and coating of particulates materials. It is ideal for a wide range of both heat sensitive and heat resistant products. Today fluid bed processors with capacity of handle a variety of applications using one single mainframe and suitable change parts are becoming common all over the world. The present work aims at fundamentally understanding and precisely determining the various key parameters involved in the scale up and coating process in fluidized bed systems.
