Research focus
Continuous fluidized bed spray agglomeration without binder or spray
The central object of the project is the development and verification of the methods and processes for the production of tailor-made particles through model-based process control for continuous fluidized bed spray agglomeration without binders , as well as for the avoidance of thermally induced, undesirable agglomeration in fluidized beds without spray.
