Guaranteed Lödige quality Attractive value for money Functional design Ideal for your product and process development Extensive range of accessories

Versatile application options for the pharmaceutical and food industry GMP-compliant design Usable as a single unit or combined with a cooling mixer User-friendly control system with pre-defined process steps Many additional options available (CIP system, qualification, etc.)

Compact machine unit with high throughput Extremely high mixing homogeneity Versatile application options Easy operation and cleaning High operating reliability and service life

Filling level variability without drum replacement The extremely low height of the mixing elements permits a high degree of filling level variability. Even application and short process times The high number of mixing elements and nozzles ensures ideal distribution and leads to low variance in the evenness of application. High-speed = Time is money The even air distribution throughout the entire drum length ensures that the drying effectiveness is high and permits high spray rates. Optimised air routing: A quality improvement This air routing prevents spray drying, increases service life for campaign production and reduces the cleaning workload. Simple cleaning A sophisticated cleaning system and its great mechanical effect make cleaning quick and efficient. This saves time, cleaning agents and energy.

Innovative design, great functionality Variable filling level between 0.6 and 6.0 l High process speed due to high spray rates and high drying capacity Even distribution of the suspension Process conditions comparable to Lödige production coaters User-friendly: Easy handling, intuitive operation

DRUVATHERM® reactor at laboratory scale Rapid uniting of reacting agents Prevention of local overconcentrations No temperature gradients within the reaction field Improved conversion of reacting agents, leading to higher yield with greater purity of the final product Multi-phase proceess (reaction, heating, drying, granulation, cooling)

Lödige has years of expertise in continuous granulation. Nowadays, continuous ringlayer mixers are established systems for continuous granulation in many industries. However, until now the Lödige product range was missing a suitable dryer. The continuous fluid bed dryer closes this gap. Together with the ringlayer mixer CoriMix® and the customer-specific dosing system, this dryer provides a complete continuous granulation line: GRANUCON®. Dryer operation is based on the fluid bed process. A general disadvantage of continuous fluid beds is the wide retention time distribution within the machine. Lödige’s developers have looked into this problem and have found a solution: integrating a screw in the fluid bed dryer. This has a limiting effect on the retention time distribution.
