TwinPro® – the fusion of two batch processes

High shear granulation and fluidized bed drying in a single process

The revolutionary, patented TwinPro® system combines for the first time two previously separate processes – high-shear granulation and fluid bed drying – into a single, continuous batch process.

The revolutionary fusion of two processes in one single system eliminates the need for a complete machine unit and thereby significantly reduces investments in both plant and building technology, while ensuring maximum process efficiency.

Benefits:

  • Shorter process time – higher efficiency
  • Elimination of wet sieving and product transfers – safer processes
  • Reduced footprint – optimized use of production space
  • Optimal total containment – maximum protection for people, product, and environment
  • One multiport – versatile applications for PAT
  • Proven process design – easy scalability

Special Features:

Containment

By fusing two processes into one for the first time, the Glatt TwinPro® offers the optimal solution for total containment applications, also thanks to a significant reduction in material loss.

Process

With the Glatt TwinPro®, you can accelerate your processes by up to 20% compared with conventional batch granulation lines. The patented process system enables gentle fluid bed drying immediately after high-shear granulation by means of a lowering bottom. All processes are integrated into one single system.

High-Shear Granulation Process

High shear granulation, also known as vertical granulation or wet granulation, is a highly developed shaping process for granulation.

The shaping process for granulation takes place in a closed vessel equipped with mixing tools and a chopper. The particles are simultaneously pulverized and mixed while a binder liquid is added. This creates liquid and solid bridges and very dense granules are formed.

Originally, the granulating liquid was poured into the product. Today, we achieve a better-metered distribution via a spray nozzle – a more uniform granulate is produced.
