MP-Micro™ Fluid Bed Processor

For immediate release - October 6, 1999

Columbia, MD-The MP-Micro™ fluid bed processor is an innovative, laboratory-scale unit that can afford substantial savings in research and development efforts on expensive materials. The unit can process very small quantities of materials (as little as 20 grams) and yet has the flexibility of a full-size production fluid bed processor, allowing development of formulations at minimum materials cost.

The MP-Micro™ is ideal for pharmaceutical testing, optimization, and identification of process parameters, release characteristics, and other design data. It is capable of dry mixing and liquid spray addition, particle size enhancement by spray granulation/agglomeration, spray coating, and fluid bed drying. Features include:

  • Secure product handling and containment
  • Variable process control of airflow temperature and liquid addition
  • Interchangeable product containers
  • Filter blowback system
  • Easy strip down for cleaning

The MP-Micro™ processor is produced by the Aeromatic-Fielder Division of Niro Inc., one of the world's leading manufacturers of advanced solids processing systems for granulation, pelletization, coating, and drying. Aeromatic-Fielder's advanced ranges of fluid bed processors and high-shear mixer/granulators are used throughout the pharmaceutical, chemical, and food processing industries.

In addition to a wide range of standard options and configurations in stand-alone equipment, the company also offers complete engineering services, from system design to process integration and optimization.

Aeromatic-Fielder technology centers are located in the U.S., Switzerland, and the U.K. Services include product evaluation and testing, and process optimization. The company operates a specialized Pharmaceutical Technology Center in Columbia, Maryland, U.S.A.
