LCP- Lödige Continuous Processes

Continuous mixing and granulation offers numerous advantages over batch-based processes. It saves space, offers optimal mixing homogeneity and can be elegantly linked to the subsequent manufacturing or filling process through automation. Lödige has many years of experience in the field of continuous mixing technology and is available to provide you with advice and assistance on your next continuous mixing project.

Compact machine unit with high throughput Extremely high mixing homogeneity Versatile application options Easy operation and cleaning High operating reliability and service life

Coater System

Coater System

Filling level variability without drum replacement The extremely low height of the mixing elements permits a high degree of filling level variability. Even application and short process times The high number of mixing elements and nozzles ensures ideal distribution and leads to low variance in the evenness of application. High-speed = Time is money The even air distribution throughout the entire drum length ensures that the drying effectiveness is high and permits high spray rates. Optimised air routing: A quality improvement This air routing prevents spray drying, increases service life for campaign production and reduces the cleaning workload. Simple cleaning A sophisticated cleaning system and its great mechanical effect make cleaning quick and efficient. This saves time, cleaning agents and energy.

Coater-System (Laboratory machine)

Fluid bed dryer LCF for continuous operation

Fluid bed dryer LCF for continuous operation

Lödige has years of expertise in continuous granulation. Nowadays, continuous ringlayer mixers are established systems for continuous granulation in many industries. However, until now the Lödige product range was missing a suitable dryer. The continuous fluid bed dryer closes this gap. Together with the ringlayer mixer CoriMix® and the customer-specific dosing system, this dryer provides a complete continuous granulation line: GRANUCON®. Dryer operation is based on the fluid bed process. A general disadvantage of continuous fluid beds is the wide retention time distribution within the machine. Lödige’s developers have looked into this problem and have found a solution: integrating a screw in the fluid bed dryer. This has a limiting effect on the retention time distribution.
