1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
How do we get denser granules?

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,680
What is the mechanism that leads to denser granules

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:07,680
as compared to spray drying?

4
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,480
Could you compare mechanism that occurs in spray drying

5
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,400
versus fluid bed to yield lighter and denser granules?

6
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,400
Yes, in the in the spray drying you have

7
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,120
a unit which is a quite high like a

8
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:23,880
fluid bed a very high tower.

9
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,320
You have a spray nozzle on top of the tower.

10
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:32,040
You spray in and the particles, the tiny particles

11
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,360
they are leaving the unit within seconds.

12
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,040
So that's the reason why

13
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,440
you get very tiny particles,

14
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,360
you cannot directly compress.

15
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:47,560
In our technologies we are to some degree spray drying,

16
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:53,240
but we also agglomerate the particles with each other.

17
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,800
So we get larger granules which are having

18
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,600
due to their granual character

19
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,040
higher or lower bulk density

20
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,320
We can control that by applying the

21
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:10,640
feasible processing parameters.
