At Powtech 2011 Glatt will show an additional feature of the largest mobile lab unit – a WIP system (wash in place). The Procell Labsystem is now equipped with cleaning nozzles in the filter plate and in the processing chamber, which clean the unit without the need to open it. Two different filter types can be used in the Procell Labsystem – pleated cartridges and washable filter bags. The cartridges are only precleaned in the unit – the narrow places in the pleats must be cleaned manually. Still the WIP system makes sure the operator does not get in contact with the dry dust.
The filter bags can be completely cleaned in the unit. As with all cleaning process the result de-pends on the product. Sticky or swelling materials may not be washed out by the WIP completely. For this reason it is important to get the cleaning experience already during process development. The WIP bag filters have the same design as the filter bags in production units. Hence one can see the applicability of WIP already at an early stage. Fluid bed and spouted bed units of Glatt are used to produce or improve granules and pellets.
