FLUID BED APPARATUS MODULE AND METHOD OF CHANGING A FIRST MODULE FOR A SECOND MODULE IN A FLUID BED APPARATUS

摘要

A fluid bed apparatus module (1) comprises an outer wall enclosing a processing chamber (9) and has a lower flange connection (4) and an upper flange connection (5), the lower flange connection being adapted to connection with a flange connection (14) of a supply of fluidising gas, and the upper flange connection being adapted to connec­tion with a flange connection (17) of a filter chamber (18) for gas discharge. At least one partition element (6) is ar­ranged in the processing chamber, so that at least one elongated channel is formed in the processing chamber, thereby defining a plug-flow area, and at least one substantially continuous product inlet (10) and at least one substantially continuous product outlet (11) are arranged in the module. Furthermore, a method comprises changing a first module for a second module in a fluid bed apparatus.
