Monitoring Fluid Bed Coating Processes with Real Time Imaging

Introduction

Innopharma Labs EyeconTM inline particle characterisation technology enables customers to measure particle size and shape during fluidised bed granulation & coating, spheronisation and continuous fluid bed drying processes. This study examines the effectiveness of a particle characterising technology to capture particle images and to calculate particle growth during a fluidised bed spray coating process.

Experimental Plan

The objective of this study was to examine if the Eyecon has the ability to track the increase in particle growth over time as a result of the spray coating process.
