This Glatt GPCG-1 is a used fluid bed dryer — sometimes referred to as a fluidised bed dryer — a type of processing equipment widely used in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries to dry, granulate, or coat particulate materials by suspending them in a controlled stream of heated air. Glatt is a well-established Swiss-German manufacturer with a long-standing reputation for fluid bed and spray granulation technology, serving primarily the pharmaceutical and fine-chemical sectors.
Built in 1991 and located in Barneveld, Netherlands, this unit carries serial number 5257 and is constructed throughout in stainless steel grade 1.4301 (AISI 304), making it suitable for hygienic processing environments. It has a bowl volume of 5 litres and a working batch capacity of 1–3 kg, placing it firmly in the laboratory and small-scale production range.
The machine is configured as both a fluid bed dryer and a granulator. It is equipped with a spray system and a pump, allowing wet granulation or coating processes to be carried out in addition to straightforward drying. Electric heating is provided at 3.96 kW, with a temperature range of 20–100 °C. The fan, timer, and control switch are all included. The main drive motor runs at 2.2 kW, 220/380 V, 2,870 rpm.
