Formulation & Drying Lab
The unique combination of a high know-how level in processing, engineering and products is the key to success of the ProCepT feasibility lab. Through innovation and flexibility, we focus on R&D feasibility development in particle engineering with agglomeration, coating and drying for pharmaceutical, biotech, fine chemical, nutraceuticals and food applications.

Particle Engineering
Micro & Nano-Encapsulation
With Fluid Bed technology we coat particles from 1.5mm down to 30µm and
smaller. With Spray Drying/Chilling we process matrix formulations to
encapsulate down to nano scale particles.
Solid Dispersions
We use Spray Drying to improve the solubility of compounds being transferred from crystalline structure to an amorphous solid dispersion status.
Controlled Release & Taste Masking
With Wurster and Perforated Drum processing we can coat particles ranging from 30µm and smaller to larger size tablets and capsules. We also apply spray congealing and melt granulation-pelletisation.
Particle Agglomeration
To improve particle flowabilty and compressibility, we use wet and melt agglomeration techniques: High Shear, Fluid Bed, Extrusion and Spheronisation.
Drying Development
To study and improve the Drying performance we apply Drying Kinetics using Vacuum Drying, Microwave Drying, Spray Drying and Nutsche Filtration Drying.
