A filter concept for WIP bag filters as well as a space-saving plate filter design make continuously operating fluidised bed and spouted bed equipment by Glatt more attractive. The vendor has integrated horizontal filters into the fluid bed. The height of the equipment is decreased by putting the clean gas chamber to the side, resulting in no space being required above the fluid bed unit. Doors on the side of the clean gas chamber enable easy access to the filter elements. Exchanging of the filter elements is in actual fact easier from the side compared to the top. A further advantage is the possibility to design the room at the side of the clean gas chamber as a wash room with a solid floor and tight connection to the fluid bed unit. The dust-loaden filters are handled only within this room, contaminating no other parts of the plant with the filter dust. Having removed the filter plates the complete fluid bed unit can be washed in place. With this design it is very rarely necessary to open the fluid bed unit in the production area. The plate filter has been tested on a prototype designed GF 20 in Glatt’s laboratory. The GF/Procell 25 is not only flexible with regards to the filter system, but also a flexible spraying system and the possible change of the inlet air chamber to switch between Procell and Glatt fluid bed (GF) demonstrates the state of the art design of the pilot unit.
