The nomination as a shortlist candidate in the Pharmaceutical Engineering category of the Innovation-Award at ACHEMA 2015 is renewed evidence of Romaco Innojet’s innovative strength. It was the totally variable batch sizes of the Romaco Innojet Varioscale that especially impressed the jury.


At the Innovation-Award ceremony on June 16, 2015, Romaco Innojet was honored as a shortlist candidate in the Pharmaceutical Engineering category. The technology award initiated by the specialised media Process, Process Worldwide, PharmaTEC and Laborpraxis was presented for the seventh time at this year’s ACHEMA in Frankfurt/Main. A jury comprised of industry experts and international technical journalists assessed the many applications, paying particular attention to the level of innovation and profitability. The Romaco Innojet Varioscale convinced the expert panel with its totally variable batch sizes and innovative design.

 

Modular architecture


The Romaco Innojet Varioscale is designed for coating particles from 2 to 30 mm in diameter and processes bulk materials weighing anything from 5 to 500 kg. Its modular architecture, with up to twelve product containers installed in-line, allows exceptionally variable batch sizes. The system modules can be flexibly combined, so that the Varioscale is equally suited for pilot and production scale coating applications. The spray and motion geometry is always identical regardless of the batch size, in other words the product quality is absolutely consistent. “For the first time, the Romaco Innojet Varioscale gives the coating process a continuous appearance”, emphasised Dr. h.c. Herbert Hüttlin, CSO Romaco Innojet. “Thanks to the modular design, different batches can in future be produced simultaneously. There is also the option of integrating the Varioscale in a complete production line.”

Innovative air flow bed technology

The starter materials are coated with various films using the innovative air flow bed technology originally developed and internationally patented by Dr. h.c. Herbert Hüttlin. The flow conditions created as a result of this unique method enable extremely gentle distribution of the product. Two counter-rotating air flow beds circulate the product in a spiral, orbital movement. A linear spraying gap ensures a homogeneous coating is applied to the particles in a vertically upward direction. Uniform application of the spray liquid is a crucial advantage, especially when coating products with a hollow structure or complex geometries. Multilayer coatings can be achieved in a seamless sequence of individual spraying steps. “The highest possible quality in the shortest possible time is our maxim for all Romaco Innojet solutions”, confirmed Paulo Alexandre, CEO Romaco Group. “By reducing batch times by up to 75 percent, we’ve opened up completely new ways for our customers to increase their production capacities.”
